Daily Dollar Registration is Early @ FTP

Not a big deal but this registration usually opens at 5:45 and fills quickly. Today I just saw its open now. FYI if you play this one.

Daily Dollar doesn't fill quickly. It takes forever to fill up and there are a ton of late registrations.

I play 4 or 5 times a week and I've never seen it full.

Thanks, I just signed up.

Was it just me, or was the freeroll to the Daily Dollar gone the last couple of days? I couldn't find it. All I could find was the $0.25 satellite to the Daily Dollar. I hope my FTP filters weren't messed up.

Good luck in that one. Man, is it hard to build from 300 chips! I've only built it up once and even then I only got 400th place, far short of the 200 needed to win an entry.

Maybe I'll see you there!

Yep, it was gone for 2 days. Don't know why they opened registration early now, will just be more people sitting out.

Are we talking about two different tournaments?

The freeroll to the Daily Dollar fills quickly as does the freeroll to the Ferguson. However the actual Daily Dollar does not fill up like that.

Your welcome Dave, good luck. If you see a Stephen King looking clown with the name of Jarlith44, its not me.

The freeroll fills in a haeat beat. I have played a few of the tourneys and you don't have to rush to register. Antytime close to the start or a half hour after you should be good to go.

Thanks again guys! This place is great... you can always find out what's "going on" with these poker sites.

So anyone do any good in the freeroll to the daily dollar? I got all the way up to 375 chips (oh, ah) and then my AKs lost to 55 heads up. Oh well, I'd say that I couldn't have gotten my chips in with much better of a hand so what else could I do?

I'll try again tomorrow. If it's up there! Good luck to everyone!

I played in the tournament to the Daily Dollar several days ago for the first time. Those 300 chips don't last long, but I managed to get down to about #136 when they awarded all of us in the top 200 the ticket to the Daily Dollar!

Less than 100 left and I'm still in. This is the best I've ever done in this tourney out of probably 30 tries

Take it down Joe,im gonna come rail you

It's sad the game I didn't want to run well in is the game I'm hitting. I'm 0 for 8 cashing in the miniftops and blew 200 bucks at the ftilt cash tables.

Out 45th as I turned 200 ftp into 20 bucks 1,080 paid out with 8178 players and I was always low stack. From like 2k players down I always had less than 10bb, but I managed to steal some blinds and win some timely double ups like with about 800 left allin with 39offsuit from smallblind to beat king8 as they called light and with 200 left I shove late pos after a limper with 78suited and crack AA. I won 1 while ahead KK vs acejack and then busted out aq vs 88. I maintained 6-10 bb throughout the itm game. Lucky to make 45th as it was a pay bump of 5 bucks

Nice job Joe

I rode a stack to about 3.5K in the first 20 min then took #1 son to MMA and got tied up. I don't know how this particular story ended.

I've played the freeroll to the diaily dollar a few times...yes it's pretty much allin or fold till later in the tourny. I won entry once to the daily dollar. It's back on for 6:25pm est. GL all that play it!
WTG Joe! Great finish

I thought they got rid of it..... But yesterday i found that shame i had to go out half way, so i sat out with over 2300 chips after a 300 start

That's great to know about it being back...I won the entry ticket just the other day...But fell in the Daily Dollar...#2997 of 8800! But hey, I was just so happy to be there, it wasn't a biggie! You're sooo right about all-in or fold ...I was lucky to get AA 1st hand so I advanced pretty quickly then! Had to enter the Daily Dollar late though because of the time it took to finally win the ticket! Take care!
Great game Joe!

I'm guessing this will be the games new registration time.

But the key time to remember is 5:55 PM EDT since that's when we can sign up!

Good luck to everyone who plays tonight!

Not for nothing, but since you guys are so smart, ummm...

Why are you even bothering with the daily dollar freeroll? It sounds like a lot of work for little reward. The Ferguson Freeroll's a whole lot easier. Just unregister and take the TD to the Daily Dollar. Might have to wait a day but still. It's easier and allows you to be patient.

Just saying.

I have not seen the freeroll to daily dollar the last couple of days either and to the person that says why play it...I have got that free dollar and it is good practice.

But good practice for what? For tournaments where 7k+ entrants start with 300 chips? How many of those are there?

I'm just saying, with The Ferguson the effort to reward ratio's better. Even with the regular old $100 freerolls it's better because you're at least going to win some real loot, just not a pile of it, still it's a minimum of 2 Daily Dollar buy-ins.

Short stack practice? Buy in short, it's real short stack practice since you're surrounded by much bigger stacks.

I'm just not getting how it's good practice. You could explain it, and I'd at least try to understand.

Just look at the format it's a short stack turbo!!! Who in their right mind would play a short stack turbo for real money on a regular basis? If they're rich they might play one every now and again for a diversion, but still...

Short stack = open up your starting hand requirements and be prepared to shove. Turbo = open up your starting hand requirements and be prepared to shove(because by being a turbo it pretty much automatically short stacks you even with 1500 chips).

So congratulations. You found the perfect way to practice for short stacked, all-in, shove-fests that pay the same prize over 200 places. It's not even good practice for The Daily Dollar which is what it's a satellite for.

I'm sorry, I just think you're all much smarter than that. Don't get me wrong, I think the dumbest freeroll on FTP has got to be that Phil Gordon Making The Final Table DVD one.

Look, if you say it's a fun diversion, that I'll buy. If you say it's good practice, you're gonna have to sell it harder. I'm just not buying it.

BTW the only reason I'm participating in this thread is because the title and OP were very misleading.

Nevertheless I still want to know why people actually want to ice skate uphill and backwards.

Free admission to the ice rink.

Where is that freeroll? I would love to give it a try.

Thanks,

-Dave

Same place as the Daily Dollar one. It's listed there every day. I never bothered to memorize the exact time though, sorry. You can make the dollar in the Ferguson multiple times in a week without tilting yourself. You just need patience, because some people try to stall to win from the get, and that's just daft, but you have to put up with them.

I've looked at FTP, and the only freerolls I see are the $100 Freerolls, the $250 USA Freeroll, Freeroll to the Daily Dollar, and the Final Table Poker DVD Freeroll.

If anyone knows where I can find the Ferguson Freeroll, that would be great!

Thanks,
-Dave

This is the next one.

Wow, thanks for posting! This tournament shows up if I type in the ID number, but I still can't locate it in the Full Tilt lobby. I'm still pretty new with the Full Tilt software, so maybe I've got a filter that's blocking it from showing up?

I've posted my lobby view as an attachment. If anyone sees any obvious filter or anything, I'd love to hear about it! But I just don't see any freerolls that start at 23:10.

Thanks again,
-Dave

Its not even worth playing these imo, its not impossible but very hard to get the dollar. I recommend the sat. to the ferguson for a better freeroll

I found it! It's in the "play money" section. Sweet. Thanks again! I'm going to try it tonight!

-Dave

It's fun I promise. Just keep your cool and don't start stalling until you can coast and it's getting close to the bubble. That's when some of the big stacks start getting greedy + a lot of the short stacks stupidly stall without enough chips to properly stall with.

Some start stalling from the get, so keep your cool.
