krup24 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I rarely play freerolls at all. Once I hit a 500FPP super satelite on the stars for entry to $500,000 but other than that I may have played like 5 at the most. So last night I sit down play the freeroll on stars.The results:PokerStars Tournament #8153079, No Limit Hold'emFreeroll Super Satellite5475 playersTarget Tournament #7942605 9 tickets to the target tournamentTournament started - 2005/05/25 - 18:05:00 (ET)Dear krupnugz, You finished the tournament in 4th place.You qualified to play in Tournament #7942605 and are automatically registered for it. See Tournament #7942605 Lobby for further details.You earned 147.22 tournament leader points in this tournament.Played for like 7 hrs for a satelite to a $500 prize poll. I was shocked they give you TLB points for this. Anyways 4th out of 5475 feels good but I mean did I really gain anything? Worst part about it is that I'm going on vacation this weekend lol. Obviously never thought I'd place. Are freerolls a waste of time? Link to post Share on other sites
aginamist 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Freerolls are a waste of time if they aren't like satellites for something really good. I mean, take the freerolls on PokerStars, you qualifiy to a tournament where you can win $500. On prima there are freerolls that give $10k (but you can re-buy in them for $2 I think).

KidKanuck 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I'd say they are reasonable and cheap practice if you can focus...but they are definitely not the best time spent vs. profit scenarioJMOKK Link to post Share on other sites
kad 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Depends on the freerolls. Poker.com have just launched a massive amount of freerolls. Last time I checked, their $500 hardly made the 50 minimum player limit.I used to play the noble $200. but they have juiced the player limit up to 500 , so its not worth it anymore (however, they were awesome earners in the beginning).

Orion071 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 I think that freerolls are mostly a waste of time. I don't think they're good practice because most of the people playing don't care and play like crap. I will play in the Party freerolls that cost 1000 Party Points because 1st place will get you $500. Link to post Share on other sites

It would be funny to finish in the money and then see a bunch of players at the .05/.10 tables with their $5... Link to post Share on other sites
delia22 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 Some of them are good. I won $20 in one of the Bike freerolls, moved it to Noble and got $10 more free, that gave me plenty to play around at the micro limit tables.They're great for cheapskate newbies like me.

I guess thats why I'm pissed cause I have like 500 on the site and play sngs, multis, and cash tables. Of course I can't have this kind of luck in the $10 rebuy tourney. I serioulsy think I won every race all nite. I finished winning 44 of 51 at showdown. I guess I'm just bitter. :-) Link to post Share on other sites
TWRIGHT7 0 Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 The problem with party freerolls is there's usually 2000+ in the freeroll, but only the top 30 are paid out. You usually spend 4-6 hours playing and then end up going out in 34th place. Link to post Share on other sites
