Well, all the good stages have to have an end. In this poker´s room they decide to do it slowly. The marvellous $500 daily freerolls have been transformed in the nice $200 daily freerolls. All of us thought that the time in paradise had to have a near final. I´m preparing to see the daily $ 50 freeroll But I´m not claiming, I´m playing $10 freerolls in Grey Snow poker (with only a few players), so...Go on 888poker!

888Poker has problems with players. The past days i played some freerolls of $ 500 and then with $200. 5, 6 or 7 players were sit out. Incredible. In the free game for level 10 there are many persons who play, but in daily tournaments which are better, we have to play 30 minutes, until they have no chips. Very sad.

That´s crazy, I soffer the same situation all the days that I played there! A table of nine players (full ring) That was played by two or three players. Is really hard to adjust your play to this situation. The tournament is starting and you have to play it like a heads up! I think that, if some people are doing it, maybe they will get some cents until their elimination

I don't loke these freerolls where too many register and then sit out throughout all the tournament . This makes it easier for some players to steal blinds , especially if they have positions with many sitsouts after them , but harder for players that want to play a normal 9max or 6max . Playing heads up or 3max 4max so early is frustrating for me . But most freeroll with low prizes have this problem . , especially on pokerstars and partypoker ... Even when I am on a table with 8 sitouts , it has happened to me to steal all their stacks blinds as the only active player on the table , then comes a late registration with only 100 blinds , makes the right shoves or big bets , and tkes all the chips from me , lol , I feel such a sucker ... Also in some freerolls that I play awesome , at the end I fall victim of a idiot loose player (or bot???) , my AA losing to ATC ...
But generally I would say that as long as they give a freeroll , either the prize is small or it was big in the past but now it's smaller or it has many sitouts etc , it's better that not having a freeroll at all , that's my nail on the PokerStars' coffin , cause they have stopped offering so many good freerolls , ofcourse the dropout from the poker business and the decrease in their profits is still ongoing , this ''FREEROLL PROBLEM '' they had to get rid of to solve some problems in the players' attitude and the players pool ,simply for laughs , lol ....

Yes I see same , register to 888 just couple months ago and that 500$ daily freeroll looks good , then they made it 200$ it's big drop and those sit out players is also not good to see. Register and play one other site and they have rules that if player not active when tournament starts he/she will be deleted from tournament.

... < ...Those $500 freerolls were pretty good while they lasted before being reduced to $200,...but I still play them because I'm sitting there anyways...
... < ...and when I'm not sitting there, I register anyways because sometimes you can come up with an ITM for a few pennies anyway.... lol...

that's true it's possible to get in money even not play any round , See that happening ,sometimes it's just difficult to win these sit out players , only good thing with sit out players is that round go fast if there is many of them
But I´m not claiming, I´m playing $10 freerolls in
