muppet 0 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 i usually dont care about freerolls because the field is often too large for too little money, however i noticed if you make a deposit at this site you get entry to the next 7 days of daily $500 depositors freerolls and they have hardly any entrants in them at all. sign up thru this back door link http://www.poker.com/bonus/ and it seems you get instant entry to the freerolls after you deposit.they also run these other daily freerolls, you need to play raked hands to get access to them, but the fields are so big now its hardly worth it. $3000 daily FR, with a field of almost 700 is lame.

ThatPkrGuy 0 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I think freerolls are a great tool for gaining experience in online tournies at no cost. If you aren't to busy and just feel like playing then well they are great. And if your trying to improve you online MTT game they are just that much better.So yea i play in them whenever i have free time. Link to post Share on other sites
dms26 3 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I played in more when my bankroll was smaller, and I still play in some. But if the prize pool is decent, say more than 500 and the field isn't 1000+ it is probably worth it. I've won about 200 from prima freerolls for playing 100 raked hands in the past 2 weeks.It's also good practice for MTT after the first break when you don't have people betting 1500 into a 20 pot.

mrdannyg 274 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 i like the freerolls on empire, mostly just to blow off steam.they're 1500-2000 people, with $200-500 pools, so nothing to write home about. but they're turbo, and rarely take more than 90 minutes to complete. good way to blow off steam. also, for the suffering bankrolls, you can probably for about $0.50-$1 close to half the time if you try.my empire account was empty about two weeks ago and now has $30, with no particularly good finishes, so its a good way to blow off steam and takes about the same time as the other way most of us do, but with monetary benefits.then again, if you're in the US and have sperm banks in the area, freerolls are probably not efficient.daniel Link to post Share on other sites
waldo 0 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 i think the ones over $5k are worth it, my friend won $2k in a party $10k freeroll so it is possible to make some money at these things Link to post Share on other sites
Stealth Beagle 0 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 When I first started playing on-line I played freerolls all the time. I still play them every now and then and I even won my WSOP Main Event seat this year on a Full Tilt freeroll. Link to post Share on other sites
Pieface 0 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Well, I spend a lot of time playing them, since I can't deposit money yet. I mostly play the absolute ones, and occasionally pstars and full tilt. Link to post Share on other sites
Kuge 0 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I play them all the time. I didn't have a bankroll after blowing it all by just crapping the cash tables up. So yeah I started back with 0$ and freerolls I play all the time now. Well...my bankroll increased alot since I finished 2nd in a freeroll. Good stuff. I'm playing in one right now on RVP.

Abbaddabba 0 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Err... this looks like well crafted spam to me.Anyways, i play in the party 25k tournaments that they have where you need 500 raked hands the day before. It's the equivalent of a $33 tournament, given that 750 people typically sign up.A very nice bonus. Link to post Share on other sites

poker_cutie 0 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I love the free rolls. Its great being able to win something for nothing and if you get screwed over well who really cares lol. :-) Link to post Share on other sites

bengy3 0 Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I started my bankroll off a $5 freeroll win at Pacific Poker. I don't play them now, but I haven't gone broke once since winning that freeroll. Link to post Share on other sites

muppet 0 Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 The depositors freeroll that I was talking about today. 141 entrants with $500 prizepool. It's worth depositing just to play the 7 x $500 freerolls you get. One of the admins just said that there is a $100,000 freeroll coming on Dec 22 with only 2000 players, Umm! That is pretty good value. Link to post Share on other sites
