OPPORTUNTIES

FREEROLLS offer the poor to have an opportunity to make riches beyond there imagination-so if you are fortunate enough to make it big
remember us who have spent hours trying to get there too.
Best way to do that i believe is to share your knowledge

A tip on the Chris F freeroll on Full Tilt: When you get down to about 110/120 players and the people at your table are somewhat cooperative you can slow the game down and end up getting most of the table into the winners circle. All you have to do is let the time start running down on your clock and click your call at the last second, if you are going to fold then just let your clock run down.

Some people will probably get annoyed with this as they don't know why you are playing so slowly as the blinds are still raising but once you explain it to them they are usually right in line with you.

I won in a C.F the other night doing this after a nice fellow pointed it out to me.

When is the Chris F freeroll, I have looked but cannot seem to find it, I could just be blind or something, lol

That to me is a dumb idea for anybody to play by. I would like to think that Chris Ferguson didn't say to do this. If you have 9 people on your table each getting down to the last second on their time bank (or even clicking "time" each time) waste blinds. I agree taking your time that your allotted to make decisions, but if somebody rasies 100 and your holding 9 2 its not that hard of a decision to hit fold and should be done so when possible. If your table takes it "Easy" and takes their time, you will be in a situation where you all have short stacks and high blinds, resulting in your either going all in, doubling up, or going all in and going home.

People don't relize why others get so upset, its because they are wasting blinds, and its not cool!

Hey Crummy,

What Hesse book is that quote from?

The Chris F starts at 23:10est the registration for it is 10 mins beforehand and it only shows up under play chips tournaments.

Crummy: You dont do it through the whole game, the table I was on when I was told this by several people at the table we were down to the last 10 people before the tournament ended. We were all moderatly okay stack wise. But I can see how it would annoy some players who have gotten to that point and are short stacked as blinds are climbing and people are ticking their time down.

I feel that poker is a game of strategy and making the most money possible is the goal. If stalling will help then it's OK with me since I know why it is happening. Just relax and wait for the all tables are playing hand for hand and then the game will speed back up.
