With the 888Leaderboard winding down just wanted to get everyones opinion on what they thought of playing on the 888 banner.
I myself have never been a huge fan of there site but honestly its one of the easier places to cash for freerolls. Unlike Stars there numbers are no where near the same so much more opportunity to cash more consistently.
I got super lucky early on to grab a bunch of points and have never fallen out of top 10, until the last update comes and then I'm probably bounce into the top 10-15 spot which is still good for 85$ which is nothing to sneeze about. Might actually peak my interest in giving it a go on 888 one more time. Wish there had been an update also over past few days to see what the final push would be. no idea what the comps been doing lately.
Really this was just to say a BIG THANK YOU to BRM once again for hosting our leaderboards and giving us grinders/degenerates (you know who you are ladies and gents) lol the chance at some free hard earned Bankroll.
Hope that they switch it up back to Stars if that's even a possibility or PartyPoker as that seems to be the more popular choice to play on.
TheIrish's 2 cents

You are having a good performance there too, that extra money from the leader board is nice too. I see a few regulars in also, with kent being higher from all so far There is also the freeroll for the 200, which can add some more cash to your roll. Good luck all.

These leaderboardpromotions have always proved to be very popular and i have enjoyed all the ones i have played in. Its always nice to play with people who are regulars' on here and to just have a chat over a game of cards
too bad a lot of people like me gave up when they saw those huuuuge scores, before they were corrected.
Anyway fantastic result and you also get a nice price for it, too bad that I don't see that much forum locals on the top, but hey, at least you are in. Do you know when the next one is planned, because i haven't got a clue.

Very well done sir. I can only linger in the mid 100s, had a really tough time lasting enough for a bigger score. I found it harder than the Party Pokerleaderboard....or maybe I was just due to run a little less lucky

well 85 dollaors of free moola is definitely something to be proud of, can't really say that this free money, since you had to work long and hard for it, but still all in all it's a great return on your effort and as you mentioned so awesome that brm keeps giving us degens such chances.
It's nice to be able to build a nice bankroll from a free leaderboard like this. And it's even nicer to cash it out. At first I wanted to play this leaderboard too but I kept on forgetting it, and when I tried to motivate myself to play it more seriously the player pool got 5 times higher so I just gave up on it. I think I only cashed once in like 8-10 tries lol
Congratz TheIrish77 on cracking the top 30 spot I missed a lot of these at the start my best result was a final table 4th place finish a set of Jacks lost to AQ straight on the river and a bunch of small cashes hopefully the next leaderboard will be organized without the recycling of passwords.

Trying to make one last run at a jump in the standings.
Sitting 16th/385 with 300 paid.
I;ll let you guys know how i finish.
Hungover as s**t but I always seem to play well the next day after a big drinking night.
------------ Good luck Demo I see you lurking in the middle.
I lost a massive pot 10's vs AQ villain flop 10QQ turn Another Q and its all in the middle. Would have been around top 3 had it held. Poker gods didn't like me on this one.
Still have 3800 but it's almost all in time.
------------ out in 129th for 8 cents more. i think that's my 4th small cash since the last update so I might actually stay in the top 10 which would mean 100$ instead of 85$ for 11-20. Hope the update comes soon as there hasnt been one now in 11 days.
Good luck and congrats to all regulars who cash and finished top 200 for the Freeroll.
TheIrish out!

Ended the work, which lasted almost 2 months. I missed a lot of days, but in the last week, I tensed and made top 3 in one of the last tournaments. I think it will be updated in the next day or two. And then we'll know the real results. Thank you BRM for the organization, but opponents per game All good and peace

It is really good to see many regular forum members performing well on 888poker leaderboard. I believe that the projected prizes for top 30 place finishers on the leaderboard are definitely one of the best of all time.

Hey Kent, nice that you show up at this forum, it is nice that you are here, because I think it is always weird that someone is high in the leaderboard every time and not part of the forum, not that that is a not a real problem, but it I think it is weird, it is just an opinion, GOOD that YOU are here on the BRM forum now, GL and see you next leaderboard!!

Hi))). Why weird? I assure you I'm not a bot We even with you in the tournament were discussing your plantation
Posted by suxkysuxky: can anyonw tell me when the 888 top 200 freeroll is and if i am on the final standings please
you must be the first time faced with this. Need to wait for leaderboard updates from 888. And before that you no nothing concrete to say. Freeroll is usually held after the end of the leaderboard after 2-3 weeks( maybe later). P.S. But most likely everything will be delayed. And payments and carrying out of the Freeroll. Because of the stupid 888. I do not understand how they received several years the title of "Best operator"

There is no standard date for the tournament when each leader board finishes. It usually follows 2-3 weeks after it is over. As for the last update was at 6th. You can see, when a leader board has been updated by scrolling down to the bottom of the page.
