Hello everyone. Second freeroll that THR game (Texas holdem radio) in ACR. On the first (Monday) I was able to get $ 0.12, and today I had more luck. I went 2nd, and got little more than $ 3 dollars. I lost the head ups, but hey, you have to see the positive side. I hope to continue improving the following tournaments. I recommend the freerolls there, there are enough!

Congratulations for this place 2nd. You did a good game in this freeroll and the result is nice. The last time when i played in Americas Cardroom it was a year ago and seven months. Is a good room but now i can not play because of license. Maybe in future. ACR has good players in big games.
Congratulations ligador37, you played very well and earned a very good prize for your efforts. I like tournaments at Americas Cardroom, both freeroll and real-money, there are a lot of weak players there .
Congrats and everything but... Why is this advertised as a 25 bucks guaranteed freeroll/tourney if the prizepool only contains 60% of that? I mean this is just beyond cheap even coming from a gambling site.

"Texas Holde'm Radio" sounds like an interesting tournament format, and its field size is not too big for a zero buy-in tournament. Congratulations on your runner-up finish in the tournament. Good luck with your next session.

this is some mistake,because when you see how many places are pair and just count bigger places and amounts,you will see that is more then this 14,20 $ and with all other places its this 25 $!but its strange that they have this amount!
some time ago I played in this poker room quite often .... it attracted me that in this poker room there are really a lot of freeroll tournaments .... of course the prizes there are small but these tournaments are held freerolls very often .... but the pom I'm sick of it ... I do not like the poker room myself

If you look closely this game had 47 rebuys and 12 add-ons. The prizes are 25 dolars of course because i played before in Americas Cardroom or Duck Poker and the prizes are real. If these rebuys and add-ons are less than 25 dollars the rest of money are covered by ACR. If you make a calculation to all places in the money the total is 25 $.

Exactly! There is always $ 25 guaranteed, even if the rebuys or add on do not reach that figure. Obviously if they exceed the $ 25 prize, then there will be more money to distribute. Yesterday I played again but this time finished 19th, earning $ 0.19. A pair of hands with bad luck and stay out. But it does not matter, you have to keep adding up.

Your online poker bankroll will increase gradually by constantly finishing in the money even the amount of prize you win is relatively small. Consistency will make all the difference in your long-term goals.

Hi ligador37 , I congrated you in other thread so I will be concentrated in the room.. It have good freeroll (with cheap prizes) and good selection of games. I have the look of a microstage/freeroll player, maybe there are nice games for big stacks that I don´t know (I think I readed to CALICUL or Sandmanilo, that this it is). But of one thing I be sure: they pay the bill Recently I maked a withdraw of $ 30 for try the sistem, and it is all right!

Today it is hard to find nig freeroll tournaments where not many people play and there is good amount of money in the prizepool. So when situation is like this then 25 dollars freeroll is of course a chance to create a bankroll from zero. This os freebuy tournament, not same like regular freeroll

That's the idea. Although it is add little by little and not go crazy. Yesterday I could not get any penny, but it does not matter. I will keep playing. As here we add little by little writing, and we have to wait until the 5000 pts to request the withdrawal, you can also do the same in the poker room, and put together a good amount of money.

Yes ligador37 it´s a good reference. We are cents hunters on snail´s steps But forwards always forwards! Nevertheless I don´t do that! I´m actually stoped with my S$G career. I realized that my playing is good for the freerolls, where the variance is big; and in the long long time. I need to learn more poker I found myself in situations where I didn´t know what could I do with my cards. I returned to freerolls and to make a real poker´s study (for free of course). I was playing about three month in $ 0,10 S&G and I have $ 12 of profit, but with a bad sensation...I need to learn!
