Just won an entry for this - I usually try to play every year on the anniversary because those have the most massive playerbodies present so there's more room for error - easier getting something good out of it in the end...
There are a truckload of satellite tourneys and sngs but probably the easiest way to get in is playing a $0.75 spin and go which awards sunday storm tickets this week. You only have to beat two guys there - I managed to do it on my second try - so the $11 ticket have only cost me $1.50...
Good luck to everybody who try out, see y'all tomorrow!

The series, special or anniversary tournaments are the best beautiful. Here you have very good chances to make good money. Even if there are enough good players is not such a big problem because there are many amateur players, which will help you to create a stack.

It was alright - I just happened to mess it up after two hours of solid play. My A10s did not hold up against AJo - I misread the BB next to me after a re-raise. Well, there's always next year

You do not have to wait until next year because there in pokerstars are plenty of good tournaments over a year, even if they are not sunday storm anniversary and they have another name. They have excellent prizes and even bigger than sunday storm. If we think, the money is important after all not the name of tournaments and they must be done quickly.
Sunday Storms are on every Sunday but I rarely play them because only the anniversary ones have inflated prizepools, otherwise I usually go for tournaments under $5 buyin because I can play a more relaxedpoker there. And those playerpools are easier to beat frequently.

I know. I played a lot in Pokerstars to small amounts but i but i gave up and after that they got in touch with full tilt and i kept my full tilt name. I also played in a sunday million tournament but i was not successful. I like many tournaments but chances to make money here is very small. I like the rooms where i won some dolllars.
It is interesting that you periodically take part in these tournaments .... you announced this participation next Sunday .... I wish you good luck and I hope to see in a short time on the forum that you could take a high place and get a good prize .. .... Good luck in the game

while you have the money, the truth is that there are very good tournaments in pokerstars, the only bad thing that I saw in terms of the changes are the freerolls that really took away many and there is almost no where to get some money but you make a deposit but good it's no use complaining

Yeah they took out so much freerolls and tbh only way to get tickets now is by opening the worst chests which still forces you to deposit money and play , I am kinda lucky that i have free 2,000$ Pokernews freerolls but its every 2weeks and bankroll ones are rarely create because pokerstars are lazy af.

The sunday storm tournaments are in every week and it's not too hard to get into it. Satellites are very good and in the end you can win the qualification with little money. The special one that is once a year you have to be careful to get a seat. The satellites are beautiful.
PokerStars hasn't had any good freerolls for a long time .... So if you don’t have money on your PokerStars account, it’s almost impossible to try to play there ... Of course there are free tournaments ..... but there are such conditions for getting a win that getting this win is almost impossible .... so PokerStars is not my site now .... because I have no money on my account

Meanwhile they offer a truckload of micro buy-in tourneys with a beatable field, so the situation is not that bad. They just got rid of many freerolls which are brought in the wrong crowd.
