2nd in Freeroll

[tidusaa]

Just had to tell someone...
Just got 2nd place on Party Poker players club freeroll!
$250 for nothing!

NICE

Either you're really really good or really really lucky. Being a freerole most likely you got lucky, even if it was just that you were lucky enough to not get eaten by a fish.

Congrats! That's quite a field to navigate through, no? The best I ever did in a freeroll was ~50/1500 for no money!

Congrats. I never feel motivated to play freerolls so all my player points sit and gather dust.

I know the feeling. I keep hanging on to them hoping they'll someday announce this massive prize that takes 100,000 points to get and I'll be able to scoop it right up. Or I could get like 730 towels I suppose.

And nice job Tidus on cashing!

I would usually play a freerole while doing other stuff around the house and such when I can't devote time to playing but I want to play. The other day I was raking leaves while playing in a freerole.

That made me laugh out loud. You know you play too much poker when....

That's why I wish sites offered better stuff. Truepoker has the best stuff IMO. Stars is pretty close too.

Yeah my niehbors were looking at me like I had two heads but I didn't care, I never had so much fun raking leaves before.

Thanks for the replies to my first post.

The question appears to be are freerolls worth playing?
Obviously I am going to say yes, but consider the following:

$2500 prize fund with only 250 entrants (the same $ per person as the $10+1 SST's I play, but with no buy-in)

People don't take them seriously so you get huge numbers drop out in the first hour or so, and during this time you can be doing something else and only playing when you really can't fold (resident evil 4 on ps2 highly recommended!)

They're friendly (nice to communicate with people, even if its just "i'm going all in, cos i'm late for work")

What the hell else are you going to use party points for? I've got enough T shirts.

I would suggest not bothering with the freerolls with low points buy in due to the huge field, but the 500pt one every day seems worth it if 250 is a typical field.

wtg tidus, ive won a few trnys before but never a prize of that size, highest was $45.

.

The problem is that most freerolls have WAY more players than 250. Paradise freerolls have 4000 entrants frequently.

[goofyballer]

Me neither, show me a $2500 freeroll with 250 people and I'm in, the smallest one I ever played was like a $250 freeroll and even 600 people signed up for that.

I think to freeroll I played starts at 4.00AM or 5.00AM US time which may explain the low number of entrants. That time is a pleasant 10.00AM here in the UK - get in it, european players!
