+ Rep to all 4 of you sponsoring this event to help change the future of our members. I must say this is a very well planned event indeed! The move from freeroll madness to playing a cash buy-in game against the very talented people who regularily play this game will be quite a learning experience! I remember my first game sposored by another CC member and deeply appreciate all I've gained from my experiences in that game.

Best of luck to all entrants. Make sure you take plenty of time reading and posting in the strategy forums, practice what you learn and bring those new skills to the buy in game....you're going to need them!

Hey,

I want in.

Thanks!

That's what the last thread was for DblA.

Thanks for getting me on chiefer, and also to DJ, and Skold and pothole. Most interesting contest I've seen since joining.

I've got quite a few posts (spam count) but am still pretty new. To those even newer who might not know about the Pantin Adventurebound Challenge its found in the lounge. Last player standing starts the thread for every new freeroll.

Come join if you're playing tonight. I hope I stay in long enough to find a good hand to analyse.

Oh, I get it now.

Sorry, I'm still on my first cup of coffee!

Thx for the entry into this opportunity Chiefer. I do not think I will be able to get the 5 freerolls in 2 week span requirement (I would if I could just auto fold but I'm not a jerk like that) but I surely will try. Great opportunity here, greatly appreciated.

thnx for this oppurtunity i just gotta get my post s up

Thanks for the opportunity chiefer. I just hope I can do well in the tournaments and I will try and get the posts up by the deadline. Good luck to everybody in the BR contest.

What they said. I am grateful for the opportunity. Now, if I can just figure out that HH converter .

I won't be able to make the Tues FT Freeroll, Jul 22nd. Just an FYI

Uh oh, looks like I'm gonna have to post some more. I love these freerolls, can't see myself not in them. Time for me to finally reah 50 posts. I'll get there by August. I like this new thing you guys came up with; great idea, should be a lot of fun =D See you all at the tables.

Good luck to all the contestants playing tonights freeroll, see ya at the table!

is anyone playing in the freeroll tonight if so good luck. my screen name on full tilt is uwanrumpwitme and no you dont want to rump wit me

Wow sounds awesome! Thanks a lot!

Good luck to all the contestants. This is a very cool idea.

GO jj go!

God I suck, Well I am out in 528th (EHLShakes) when my flush got out beat with a FH. I always have a hell of a time getting started in tournaments and it happened again tonight. Man I am tired of going out so soon in tourneys.

Edit: Figure I would post a link for the Hand that knocked me out since it was about the only hand I played the entire tournament: http://www.cardschat.com/f51/flushed-out-119793/

Crapola, my QQ got cracked by AK. Knocked out in 430. Posted a hand for review in analysis section under title Freeroll Contest Hand #1.

Got knocked out with my least favorite hand huh Parker. I cant stand QQ because it always seems I lose with it.

Yeah, I always seem to lose with QQ too, at least the guy had AK instead of A rag. Still didn't necesarily justify his call of my shove since he called w/ A high no pair & rivered the A, but he had a bunch of chips & was willing to gamble.

tournament ID# 50331554
placed 235th

Good game everyone. And good luck to the remaining players.

well iam out moved with pp and 3 callers tourny id 50331554 pos 155

For those of you who don't know it, you probably have the HH's on your computer.

Try this;
My comuter > Local Disk (C > Program Files > Full Tilt Poker > HandHistory > { yourname} then sort by date with the most recent date at the top. click that file and browse thru it. It will probably have the hand that knocked you out, and will probably be a laborious, but WORTHWHILE file to browse thru.

You can click and paste into a HH post. Using the converter is not necessary.

Similar procedure at Stars, bodog doesn't send HH's, for Ultimatebet you need to remember where they store them if you are storing them, and Carbon is weird.

Out in 69th, oh you already have the results. I'm going to look for a hand that way DJ, bob tiger was at my table and filled me in on ways to do it.

good job all! keep it up.

an interesting question came up. 5 freerolls in a two week period is more than doable. some of you may play more than 5. some of you may only play 5. for those of you who play more than the 5 required, only the first 5 tournaments that you play will count. i think this is the only fair way to do it.

on a side note, i've decided to add a prize for the player that comes in 5th place. since there will be four 1st place finishers, the 5th place finisher technically is second place. however, you will have to wait until the contest is over to find out what it is.

awesome thanks chief

Nice, thanks chiefer! Good job D'wilius.

very nice chiefer the contest sounds good and with the added prize that makes it even better thanks and gl to all at the tables

Good showing for the first freeroll, I only have tilt so I'll just play those.
Hand History is easy when you just bypass the damn converter. I'll try it that way next time, maybe. Good game all, thanks parker. I've read a few of the HH I'll have to comment on them later.

you are all welcome. it's my pleasure. above all, make sure you have fun with this.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of the converted HH's. I'd much rather read through the standard HH file, I just converted mine because that's what they said to do in the guideline post.

you don't have to use the converter. i don't like it either.

thats cool that you added the second prize to the contest. I cant wait to see what it is even though im looking to get the top four.

there are two freerolls today. one at bodog at 3:05pm est. and one at ultimate bet at 8:00pm est. for those of you that can play both, this is a good chance to get ahead in this contest.
