theomen 0 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 just finished 347th in a 11,000 person prty freeroll. Too bad you have to make final table to see any $$ but its my own little victory of sorts...I applied what I've learned here so far and just flamed everyone incessantly whenever they spoke seriously though - early on people do play like complete idiots but banking on that only gets you so far.......something must be sinking in from hanging around here.

And thats all I have to say about that. Link to post Share on other sites
theomen 0 Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 they do them on the weekends (actually maybe its every day - I usually only play on friday). like 4 of them. $500 freeroll - top 10 positions pay. first is like $95 or something, 4-10th pays $40 I think?capped at 11,000 entries. People go crazy, field was down to about 3,000 at first break...... Link to post Share on other sites

People will not fold 1 pair. Link to post Share on other sites
Wandigo 1 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I've been doing pretty decent lately at the party freerolls. I've been playing the WSOP satelite qualifiers where the top 50 get to play for a wsop seat each saturday. I've now qualified 4 times, including getting 6th out of the huge 3500 field a few days ago.It's amazing how crazy people play at those, I couldn't be the first one knocked out of those tournaments if I TRIED.

LOLYou could be pumped when it your first time lasting the first break mark (I recall I was really pumped the first time doing that)Now if he continues doing well, gets in the money, he can really be pleased.

SunDrop 0 Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 What is the cap on the WSOP?I don't think there's anyway they can even have a cap...think about how many private clubs, B&Ms, online sites, radio giveaways, etc. etc. etc. are giving away entries. I think this year we'd be lucky to be under 25,000 entries.Eventually I think people and sites are going to have to register a certain amount of spots ahead of time...I just have a feeling that private bar owners and giveaways are going to give away WSOP seats that won't exist because of the cap.

cu in 4years Dan 1 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 yeah i dont think they would every cap the ME, and im not sure it is legal either Link to post Share on other sites
theomen 0 Posted April 30, 2006 Author Share Posted April 30, 2006 have gambled for a long time, but just started learning poker really recently. so yeah, a 347th out of a pool that large makes me happy Link to post Share on other sites
