Posted by parakon: Hello. I have a question. I think that my score is larger than my guess. It is explained in this way "$9.75 prize win will give you 9.75 points on the leaderboard. "
Why is my point 8? Is it an accident? I participated in a tournament four times, but the prize money is only 19 cents and $ 3.80 last month.
Only as for the final table, is a score double? However, such a notation is not found. I want you to tell me if there is a person knowing it. Thank you for reading.
It's very simple really ... the leaderboard you get as many points as you win in freeroll .. and that's right ... only there is a caveat: the leaders of the table has not been updated for a very long time (see the last update) and even promised to this week, do two updates ... it's Wednesday and the table leaders all in the same position that was
It seems my good hands never hold in these games. I can never get an early double up or triple up, I always get eliminated by some suited connector or some s**t shoving pre flop lol
Atleast I don't play for too long and there's other freerolls at same time (usually some poker club or unexpected freerolls so you don't have to single table which is nice).
Finally it happened !!! update leaderboards happened ... I do not really bring joy .. Now my position is 31 seats and it is awards .... but now it is clear that you have to play and not to skip tournaments to try to return to the winners .. and of course not to play as bad as in the past tournaments

Hi,pajalnick. Thank you for comment. I have an opinion, too. I think the award(=Win a prize within the 30th place) seems to be near and is far.The period is long and thinks that it is severe when you do not win the tournament once. I don't reach the award when I do not go till the final table several times even at least in month.
My participation rate is a one-third. This tournament starts at 4:00 am in Japan. It is early in the morning. It is not got up. There is work. I skip by all means. And I can hardly participate next month. I want to win this tournament this month. Lol.
About the game,I am very tight and I become the target of steal and the squeeze. I tried doing it the same way, but it didn't go well. I narrow my tactics only by being waiting. Even if I think that it is a chance, a strong pocket pair loses.
To abandon something in the early stages and you must aim at high position. But you can be cautious of the same player.
I pray for your good luck. Let's meet at finals table.

There we go. There was an update two days ago and theirish is in second place now, too close from the first player, and with almost equal distance from the third. It is going to be a close race, with just two more months to go

$9,000 in prizes at stake! It is good to see many forum members doing well on the 888poker leaderboard that runs until Saturday, December 17, 2016. Best of luck to all mobsters participating in this amazing promotion.

I was tired that I beat in the first game in the freeroll ... but there is a great temptation to go Ollin when the arm is not bad card in the first game and a lot of donkeys with rubbish too Ollin go ... but I have no luck, and my card does not win. .. today I will try to change the tactics of the game

Well, sadly, that is a nature of freeroll tournament, isn't? There are players from different backgrounds around the globe, most of whom you have never known and will never interact with again. It is literally a jungle out there!
Well Pajalnick it's hard to take the game seriously when nobody else does at your table, for such tiny prizes, and with 1000 players to beat. I completly understand why you would shove or call shoves early and try to double up or leave...
Thing is, people who have a good solid spot in the leaderboard will be impossible to beat now because theres 3 times more players than there used to be and the prizes are even smaller now.

I do not understand why these people are registered in the tournament when they will not play poker, they want to play bingo , what is their thinking that if you have A or K must go all in and whether they think white such a game gets a tournament, I can not understand in the many free roll tournament is too much of these players, what will get with such a game

Indeed if the field has grown will be harder to gain points and keep or improve your position now. On the other hand i doubt the field has grown now by brm players. They just found out about it, in all these sharing sites. So this kinda make things a bit better since all these new players are not competing in the board.

And the ones who are on top of the leaderboard will be nearly impossible to catch up on now ^^. Field went from 300 to 1000 players. I don't even bother trying to play it anymore, it's become a waste of time! I never played it seriously but atleast I would've tried to finish in the top 200 to get access to the freeroll Now I'm just like f**k this! lol
certainly not those tournaments where you can earn good money ... but of course I want to get at least in the top 30 and get $ 75 ... the prizes began this series of freerolls a lot more than before ... my best achievement 2nd place Following a series of freerolls and a prize of $ 90 ... inflation?

But if you are in the leader board already, then it is not a bad idea to continue participating. Even with 1000 players. It is not a big amount of players, so you can reach high enough at some point. But i dont know if these point will help you to climb the ladder
I was on 31 place and I hope soon to see the updated leaderboard to see how much worse my position ... since the last time I was in pizah only once and the prize was a little ... I certainly ahead and many would like to see ... how many updates but of course very rarely that it is not very good
Now I'm just like f**k this! lol
