My first freeroll place!

After many freerolls being played, I finally made some money on one! I didn't win it, but came in 6th. Granted there were only 69 players, I feel I played a great game. My suspenseful story (lol): First off I lost an all-in to someone (don't remember the hand...), and now down to 400 chips with blinds at 40/80. I knew i had to win a few all-ins quick! Doubled up with A2 suited. Now at 800, i tripled up with 10 10 against 2 callers! Then won a few hands here and there and managed to move up to 2nd place in chips (a good lead). Then the worst... I was browsing through cardschat, and just as i click a link the program pops up because it's my turn. Guess where my cursor is at... The all-in button!!! Someone calls my 9 4 off suit preflop and i lost over half my chips. After disabling the all-in button (i recommend EVERYONE does this!), I make my way back to a decent sized stack, and to the final table. This is where i got caught stealing the blinds with 4 4, and someone calls me all-in with AK suited catching an A on the flop... Lost my 10K in chips to surfsup11, as you can tell. Im out at 6th with $6. I'll take it!

Congrats!!

Just wait until you win your first one

Nice Job, It's hard as hell to place in freerolls because of the style of play so don't feel bad taking a 6th. Besides you just got something for nothing and that's the best kind of something to get. Keep playing good cards and you will be there again

Congratulations!.. Freerolls are definatly a learning experience all thier own..

I'm still surprised i made it to the final table after the all-in incident... but like i said, i think i played one of my best games. I love poker, and i'm gaining loads of experience every day! Some might say i play too much, but if im winning/playing with money i can afford to lose, then who cares! ya?

Not one to rain on your parade.. yes you won.. and yes you won at noble.. However to get any of that winnings.. you needed a a deposit there cause no matter how much you win with thier free money. You won't be able to retrieve a cent. Not fully sure but even if you did deposit.. you still can't touch the free money. You basically have to deposit 1st before retrieving or winning any money there.

I'm glad you are worried about me, but i have made a deposit previous to this tourney...

Nice one Soadwes

Making the money is a good achievement in any tourney

Well played

Hey congrats. The best I ever placed in a freeroll was about 12th in one of ours. Even making the top 10 is good stuff considering the quality of play in most...

Congrats. I am dying to know how you found a free roll at noble that only had sixty-some people.
