Posted by sirthomas: Hi guys,
Just heard from partypoker that the $500 freeroll and many other tournaments running at this time were cancelled due to technical issues. The prizepool will be distributed in line with partypoker/bwin's cancellation policy.
Looks like some of you have received your money already, which is great! Though, I can understand the frustration when something like this happen and you (the poker players) experience different kind of problems when trying to get back into the tournament. Unfortunately, this is nothing we can do anything about. Also, we won't be able to run another $500 freeroll.

I get your point of view on this but what about the people who never even could play? Or players like me who lost due to technical issues? I mean, we were actually affected by this way before the tournament was cancelled and missed out completely. Nothing about this tournament was even close to being fair...

I said that if this $500 BRM freeroll hadn't been concluded , this would have been very bad and unfortunate (well , maybe not for me , if I had one more chance , not to repeat this silly loose move on the flop , but then again 3 chances to play it , one that I forgot to open the lobby , one that I made this loose call , and one more , that would be too much LOL ) .
Having said that , it's good for all players who were still playing the game , that they were paid , , and especially for the ones , who had big stacks , that the payout took into consideration theis stack sizes . This is better for them , rather than nothing or everyone get the same equal prize

Good morning,
The $500 freeroll was offered by partypoker/bwin as a gesture of goodwill towards the bankrollmob.com community. In other words, partypoker/bwin paid for it - not BankrollMob.
We are not going to to tell them to run another $500 freeroll now when they have already paid players according to their tournament cancelation policy.

Someone can write a book with all the comments in all threads about the freeroll tournament of BankrollMob Christmas special. This game it was so impressive for you and liked it very much. When the annual tournament was in full tilt with higher prizes there were only few complaints.

The same thing i said but many members they were upset or even very furious. When you think that was just a $ 500 game, you come to tell that the world has gone crazy. It's incredible. There is no respect anymore even if there ( online rooms ) are plenty of free games.

Mobster James, with a $ 15 deposit you can play in 13 tournaments with $ 500 prizes. There you can make a profit if you know how to play poker. I don't understand why this game was so important and to make you angry. Living should be lived beautifully and not be annoyed by simple things.

Did you just answer an 8 days old comment that isn't even relevant anymore? It so clear to me that you are postning simply to get your mob points, there are no real value in a lot of your posts. I'm sorry but I just can't keep quiet about it any longer, I've seen countless of posts that is obviously a post just for the sake of making a post and earning those points...

Hey vaci38, welcome again! I didn´t read anything from you at a long time! By the way, the situation, if you use the calm that you advise and read all the threads, you could find that this tourney was a special one. It didn´t appear in the time scheduled, postponed to another day, and interrupted. Then PP pay some amount to the players which were in that moment...crazy tourney!
all this is fun I play
