Oh hey another heads up about pokerstars

Right now they are running the NAPL, its for north America and Canada players, its really cool cause its a free roll, 36 players, 1st place gets a ticket into a $500 free roll. Then I think if you place in that you can move up to the $1000 free rolls and if you place better you can play the $2000 free roll. Now that is a hell of lot better than playing that dam hubble round 1 free roll where you have to grind out 9000 donks just to play on sunday, I think you get more bang for your time playing the NAPL, dont know how long it will be running but its fun for right now, I have 2 tickets, there very easy to place 1st in this game, thing is you have to use your ticket with in 7 days.

Thanks Madness I haven't played on pokerstars for awhile , I guess this is as good a reason to go an play as any!!!!

Awesome! Thanks man. I read this, jumped on PokerStars, and found one that was currently registering.

I'm playing in NAPT - Los Angeles FreeRoll

Yes! Good info Madness! Yesterday, i played in a free roll on Play Aces and grinded for 4 1/2 hours ( about 4000+) just to be "miracled on the river" by a guy and placed 23. Only top 20 are ITM! Man, that burned! I wonder what other sites there may be with good MTT's with reasonable field size? FR or Buy In.

These are ok but somewhat frustrating in that they are shoot outs. I had a donkey sitout wen it got to HU at the first table and i blinded him down to 1200 chips. He then returned and played like the biggest donk I have seen in a long time.

In the other one I played in I made to the final 3 and had AA with two all INs on my BB so guess what 87 beats AA and I had.......drim roll please AA

At least he was sooooted

I am gonna play these until I win one for for a personal challenge but I would not suggest anyone make this their main game.

Just played 5 more of these. It's NOT poker. Frustrating game of bingo though I can tell you that much. Ho0nestly there is more skill in the play money chip games

Gonna go have breakfast and then come back and open as many of these as I can and play all in on the first hand on all of them

Seriously if you dont think online poker is rigged try these. LOL

Played four tables and went all in on every hand. Made it to the final table and the play was just awful. Gonna try two that i have left with all in play because there really is no way to play these for real

Guys yall are playing these the really hard way. Forget the super donk sngs just play the actual freeroll where the top 1036 placed are payed instead of just one. Only about 4k to 5k people enter these each night so its fairly easy to get the rookie league cash ticket ($0.10 + 0.01) which is what you are playing for in the 36 people sngs. If you make the top 300 you get a $1.00 + 0.10 ticket to a NAPL tourney and the top 10 get a $10.00 + $1.00 NAPL tourney ticket. To me this is the easiest freeroll system that pokerstars has is this $500 nightly freeroll. This thing takes place at 20:00 ET so good luck to all those looking to start a BR.

those 36 man ones are easy all you have to do is open about 15 of them up and just shove your good hands. then you should get lucky and final table a few of them then just play from there. they really arent that hard

I got to thinking about my post from earlier and realized that it was the 10c one that you had really good odds to cash in and that the freeroll was packed full every night. Anyway good luck to all those who play no matter what you decide to do.

If you do it please post a screen shot cause i have not been able to. Also would love to see the hands that get you the win.

pokerstars run alot of freeroll tournaments that are restricted by country,but if you play on pokerstars its worth checking out the regional freerolls section every now and then

I've played at Poker Stars for a while now.

Although their Free Rolls appear rigged to me, I'm not sure, I might be that bad of a player. It seems I only win (only 1), or get far, if I make bad all-ins and the like. But, I like to keep trying, as I think it is a combination of some bad play from me (rarely get lucky), and bad play from others that get lucky (alot on the turn or river). Just seems people shouldn't get that lucky that many times (but there are alot of hands played). Just seems the math doesn't work out. Also can't understand how tounaments end fairly quickly (3-4 hours) when tournaments at a casino take days. Maybe it is the amount we start with and rapid increase of blinds (that would make since).

Sorry for the long post. As a Software Engineer, I'm just wondering if the software code is rigged (at least for freerolls, not so much with real money).

Any Ideas anyone.

Again, thanks for the infor, I will play.

Here is an example of final table early play in one of these. Trust me this is very typical of what you can expect to find if you play these. I try one now and again when i am really busy and dont care about the outcome. Other than that my advice is to stay far away.

This three way all in was pre flop. No raising and 3-betting just all in up front.

Good Info Deadly! I will try one of the ones in the evening. I like those odds better!

Tried one of these after I saw this thread, just for haha's. Didnt end well. Unlucky river but just a freeroll so no biggie.

Lost HU to a flush...lol

I've tried both the Sit-N-Go and the nightly 10000 player donkfest freeroll at 8PM. I honestly think the 10000 player freeroll is easier to get your ticket.

I am staying far away from these from now on. No matter how badly I am shaking from withdrawls.....LOL

Played a few so far(36 sng), got to one final table, 2nd place=no ticket to the next round. If I am by my comp at 8pm, i'll play the bigger one.
