Today I played at 888poker several tournaments ... among them were two tournaments Blast 3000 $ ..... as everyone knows in these tournaments you can get into the first 600 players and then you get a ticket of $ 5 to the Blast tournament .... I played in two tournaments that were held today and in two tournaments won tickets .... but these tickets did not bring me a win in the end .... of course it's nice to be among the winners, but in the end I didn't get any profit

I am so sorry for you! But no need to upset..poker just like that..if not at right time and we couldn't win anything despite we try hard to play well, unexpected mistake always happen. Most important is not losing confidence. Good luck , you will get nice prize next time

888poker Blast is terrible if you ask me because you play against 4 players and tbh most of the times prize is 2x or 3x at maximum and then just 2 players share or one shares if its 2x and its hard to take money plus there is a timer that forces everyone to all in and its pure luck you can't do anything about it.

$3000 Lucky BLAST freeroll it's the worst tournament which i played in 888poker. In my life i did not have such a bad luck. I can not win Blast tickets of $ 5. I played with approximation 50 tournaments and i won a single ticket. Something is wrong here... For me this tournament is not appreciated.
The strategy of the game in this tournament is very simple ... you just need to wait for a good card and then go all in .... you start with 3000 Point to get a ticket guaranteed to dial approximately 30.000 Point .... and of course to take the time to reach the prizes .... not always this strategy works, but I won six or seven tickets.

I did that from the beginning and this strategy does not work for me. It's something insulting to me. I always lose and can not create a good stack, because the software is very bad and this is very ugly. I'm no longer interested to win these tickets because i am disappointed with this tournament.

That tourament is pure luck if you ask me when you go all in , i had today AA 2 guys are calling and guy with A 8 spades gets a flush which happens abnormal amounts on time , on 888poker software i swear to god that thing is like machine for flushes at this point.

Of course, sometimes it turns out that the best card loses ... but this is absolutely normal ... two aces in general a card that wins about 50% of the cases .... very often some weaker card beats two aces .... I myself repeatedly saw it ... I beat two aces and my two aces beat too .... Good luck in the game

These things happen everyhwere but in the end you will only remember those 80-20 situations where you lost rather than the ones where you've just lucked out. I'm lucky I remember neither I have that next play mentaility

Sometimes the machine have most of flush, sometimes straight. not only at 888, all poker site , all tourney exactly have that moment ,even live poker I saw on youtube. years ago I am sure poker is skill game, but now I am sure 80% is lucky game. Don't hope too much in your bad luck day Good luck next time

Today i lost again with KK and AJ because ugly software and my last chips i call with 8 4 because it's horrible to play these tournaments. I really do not understand why they are so heavy. It's something terrible here or someone else in the middle... It's very bad for me this freeroll game.
In these tournaments, of course, winning is quite difficult .... it all depends on luck and on your card .... today I received terrible cards .... a couple of times I lost a little and in the end I had to go to the 6th and 6th and 8th suits. ... But of course I lost .... Only one ticket left

My problem with this tournament is that: I can not win with good cards. The same with poor cards. I play for nothing in these tournaments. I do not think i will win something interesting here. One ticket in about 50 games is disaster and i tend to believe as these tournaments are too much rigged.
today I used my last ticket that I had for these tournaments .... I had quite a few tickets that I purchased for my gold coins ... now there are no coins .... going to the next level is also not very close .. Win the wheel of fortune, too, no ... so that I have a break in these tournaments

I am sure that's just variance in general. And a lot of it about the attitude of the others you play against, maybe try swith up your betting ranges.

In the last 3-4 days i did not win another ticket with wheel of fortune and it's better in this way. I need to play more serious tournaments and to stop believing in this freeroll tournament. It would be good if they were offering a ticket to 10 free tournaments but one ticket for 50 freerolls it's a shame. Maybe other players are more fortunate.
Today I had a ticket for this tournament .... 2 days ago I spun the wheel and received a prize ticket .... Today I took part in this tournament but again unsuccessfully .... I could not get a prize Because I played badly .... I confirm it ..... my bad game became the reason for my departure from this tournament .... again I have a losing streak of the game .... which of course is very sad

Hey, there are freerolltourneys going around on PS for MicroMillions tickets - if I only manage to snag one I will be happy with it...

Just be happy that you still can get tickets and play in the promotion they are having. How many of you can not participate in promotions, that other sites are running. And now that you can be in this one, you are complaining that you are not winning anything. It would have been a good promotion only if you had managed to cash in ... ???
I once again turned the wheel returning good luck and again did not get any winnings .... there was usually a winnings one ticket for this tournament, but lately I have not received these prizes .... but today I received two tickets to the tournament for depositors .. .. as I made a deposit this week .... tried to get a win from the Victory of the Peru national team ... but lost
