Title: Prima $1000 Freeroll - what's the point? Post by: The_Ant on September 10, 2005, 05:45:33 PM Just had a look on Stan James to see what tourneys are running tonight and noticed there is a $1000 freeroll with currently 8745 entrants with 16 mins to go! 1st prize pays $134!! What would be the point in playing in this?

Post by: The_Ant on September 10, 2005, 06:14:38 PM fair comment ironside, i did the same, but would you want to have to beat 9740 players to win just $1.50, no thanks!

I had no income while I was off work recovering from a very very major op, so had to keep my head working, yet had to keep still and not move about too much.
I couldn't afford to put any money anywhere, so they kept me going - I won a bit from em - took ages, but please don't knock em - for some people they are the only poker they can access!

My first online experience was in the winter of 2001. I had found Cardplayer magazines website and they had a freeroll on UB on that evening. I loaded up the software and battled past several hundred players to win $50. My first ever online stake. :D Title: Re: Prima $1000 Freeroll - what's the point? Post by: The_Ant on September 10, 2005, 06:52:44 PM I'm not knocking freerolls, my point is would you want to play in one with 10000 players?
Title: Re: Prima $1000 Freeroll - what's the point? Post by: Ironside on September 10, 2005, 06:56:54 PM because it pays 260 people and first place will get a hudred dollars or so
you play to your bankroll if your a 1 cent 2 cent player then this is a good comp if your a 30/60 NLHE player then you would avoid it like the plague Title: Re: Prima $1000 Freeroll - what's the point? Post by: Robert HM on September 10, 2005, 07:06:06 PM My first win was an SJ free roll, there was 15000 allowed but it was a bit short at 11000+. I came 4th, for about $40, and was chuffed to bits.
