I have qualify many times in pokerstars, nothing special about it. Weekly Freeroll is quite nice, either choose saturday or sunday. But I'm never play any of those freerolls thought.

I give up trying to paly these freeroll marathons. UB used to have a $50 FR that paid 100 places at 4:30am CT I used to get up for that typically drew <2000 players. I won my ticket to the big Saturday $1000 freeroll multiplle times with that one but despite coming close never cashed in it. The rest of their free rolls were $50, paid 30places, and usually capped at 5k. Now since the merge they cap at 7.5k. Just not worth 5-6hrs of my time anymore. I can not imagine the strain of a 10k or 12k field on stars (must take 7-8hrs?)so I do not play there. Mostly ring games these days.

I forgot to add, the weekly round two tournaments are
Every Saturday at 10:00 am Eastern Time - Always No Limit Hold’em
Every Sunday at 2:00 pm Eastern Time – Either Limit Hold’em, No Limit Hold’em, Limit Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven Card Stud or Pot Limit Omaha

Qualifiers are issued a ticket and must manually register for the tournament they wish to play. You may also unregister and use the ticket another day. If you like one of the non Hold’em games, then best wait until that game is scheduled.

Yes, final table finish would be good. I have been trying to get there for the last ten weeks or so. Best finish $2.80 (60th or there abouts).

Very nice man, keep up the efforts!
You know, after having a transaction history with online poker rooms, I still think the best way to go about your business is to win your money for free and begin the journey there.
Not only is it interesting and more fun, but the experience you gain from the journey will account for more profital play in the future.
Best of luck!

Its sometimes hard to get the 99 seats when everybody on the table are crazy with all ins:joyman: I could get only 3 or 4 in a month. I won 2$ from it last time but went all way to the cash game tables. Good luck to you with that seat. :D
