Alright, this is going to be my first challenge! I will include a prize for the winner to boost the thread (read bottom)
I wanted to boost my online poker experience, yet don't waste money, so here is the deal:
Sites: - PKR - Pokerstars - Full Tilt Poker - Everest Poker
Objective: Pllaying nothing but freerolls (tournaments & S 'n Gs) for 1 whole week!
------------- How much do you think an average poker player is able to earn through freerolls during 1 whole week in these days where many people try to become a poker pro.
Prize: First person to guess exactly how much I am able to win will win 5% ($50 max) (!: I'll change winnings $5,10 becomes $5,00 and $12,97 becomes $13 etc etc & only non edited posts count) -------------
I personnaly think somewhere around 3 dollars haha, mostly from the S n G's of pkr and everest.
I'll play during European times and I'll post an update once a while
Stats so far: - PKR $0,00 - Pokerstars $0,00 - Full Tilt Poker $0,00 - Everest Poker $0,00
Total : $0,00
I removed Titan Poker and forget to mention: Ends in 1 week on August 5th 23:59

I don't think these are good sites to try this. Everest has no real freerolls. You have to buy in with points (exception are the shasta SnGs). At Stars you win tickets to another freeroll if you perform well in the first step freerolls. And i don't think Full Tilt has that much freerolls either.
Try Pacific poker their freerolls are easy 2 beat and I have made my first big cash starting with a freeroll there!
------------ Took me 3 months but still starting from freeroll 2 build a descent freeroll Played at 1 time the 2/4$ cashgames there and they dont have that tourney no more the 20K guaranteed 50+5$ buyin was a regula rthere(10th place highest finish) won the 5000 guaranteed there! but after 7 cashouts I have gone broke there never deposit a single dime if I deposit there I am still eligible 4 the first deposit bonus said support no problems cashing out whatsoever checkdiana85 was my nickname swear never deposit

I think around 3.5$ , that too if u get lucky as there are too many players on these sites. and there is too much donking in the freerolls if you try to play one or other donk will get you but gl.
Posted by Caesar: I would say 2$...really doubt that you can get smth out of FullTilt, haven't seen any normal freerolls there.
FullTilt has lots of normal freerolls! They have $100 freerolls all day, which open registration 40 minutes before they start. They also have lots of national tournaments AND a freeroll to the Daily Dollar (200 out of 7500 gain entry to a $10,000 guaranteed tourney). That's probably your best bet for making a good amount just playing for free. Other than Stars, but we all know how difficult it is to make free money on Stars

1 $ ... but i hope it will be more
My poker have been running very bad lately ... perhaps i will start an own challenge with freerolls
But how are you supposed to know members arent cheating by editing their guesses in this thread ? ... eg i wrote 1 $ today , log in 5 h later and see you have updated your information and have won 3 $ ... then, of course, i edit my post to 3 $ or more

Thanks, I will try pacific. Nice story, I wish I could say that. I wasted a lot of money on online poker, so that's why I don't ever EVER allow myself to deposit again. (not thousands, but too much)
I mostly have to rely on sattelite's, I mean come on: Some people have to win that freeroll, even though it's 40 10.000.000

My guess is 2.80 $.. On FT and stars there are daily land based 100$ freerolls (smaller field), i cashed several times in both.. On Everest I believe there are a bunch of daily freerolls where you can qualify for 2500$ bankrollbuilder

On Everest you have also the Shasta STTs and Sixty MTT, both Fixed Limit, running all the time. The field is horrible so you can make good starting $$$ while you wait for the next freeroll.

my guess is 4.5$
go make an account on pokerstars, say you are from Denmark, then you get 1000$ freeroll EVERY DAY. + a 2000$ freeroll once or twice a week + a 2000$ added 1$ buy-in once or twice a week + a 4000$ gurandteed 2$ rebuy once a week. there is 5000 people in the 1000$ freeroll, about 3-4000 in the 2000$ freeroll, 1000-1500 in the 2000$ added, and only like 400-600 in the rebuy, yea it easy to make money in poker here in Denmark on pokerstars.
i have won the 1000 freeroll once got 128$ got rank 3 another time for 50$ + in both tornys i got a ticket where the top 20 would win a 370$ seat to the M.E WSOP qualifer. i got in the top 20 both times and got a ticket, i unregistered and got 370W$ (which i sold for 329$)
in the 2000$ freeroll i have won it twice and got 259$ the first time and 280 the other. in both of these i got a seat in a torny, where there is only 12 people and the winner would get a trip to the LE-Mans, and the other to a football game, i didnt win either of them.
i got rank 5 in the 2000 added where i won 253$
i played once in the rebuy where i got rank 56 for 13$. i didnt make 1 single rebuy.
i always cash out right when i win, so i dont go lose them on cash games.

I think you can make it to the $1.80, if you win enough 10 cent giveaway at PKR. . In some rooms where i used to play freerolls sometimes i earned $0.30, others $0.60 finishing ranked 15th. It will be really dificult to win bigger than this but good luck to you!

Lol, OK I HATE EVEREST!
Did you know that they kick you out of their freerolls if you do not respond within 5 minutes?
Story: It was after the break, My position was #10 500. I'll just keep it simple: I had to take a dump, came back, got kicked out of the tournament.
Control Panel > Remove Everest > OK
This challenge has become so much more difficult, the only good tournaments so far (if you're not a new player)
- Pokerstars, (become top 72 out of 9000 for a $2000 tournament) 99,95% fails - FullTilt, (1 time a day a Country FreeRoll, but NL has like $10.000 players) ~5% doable - PKR, 2 times a day $50 freeroll, ~5% doable - Everest, 10 times a day bankrollbuilder, quite nice, but don't take a s**t - impossible - Pacific Poker, not tried it yet, seen only 1 full freeroll so far.

GL to you, but id suggest re-thinking the freerolls, youd be much better of using the likes of ankrollmobs freerolls and outer restricted games. How many a day will you play? Id say you will cassh 1 in 30. My guess is none. sorry. GL
