Freerolls for big events

Watching and playing in FT freerolls for wsop ME and seeing players push all in with any 2 cards trying to get lucky got me thinking mainly because I am not a big fan of this but I play in the hope that I can get through to the ME cause I can't afford it otherwise.

To take away the all-in fest at the start...

Solution 1
The poker site gives everyone 1 token to play 1 freeroll-= you play once and are done

or to cut back even more

Solution 2
The Poker site uses the freeroll as an incentive for players to play cash games so everytime a player plays a certain amount hands p/w or p/m they get a ticket. (This means I would never get a ticket as I refuse to play cash online but hey)


I would just like to see more poker and less lotto played in these things,

Maybe its not doable
Maybe you dont like it cause its your 1 chance to make the ME but for me i would rather get knocked out playing poker than knocked out because a bunch of players pushed all in hoping to get lucky.

Not doable..., they want the traffic..., they do not care about the quality of the game at all...
there even is a site where you can sign up for a $3 tourney with auto-allin every hand...
play good poker and eventually you will take one down...

gl in your mission on trying to accomplish this

its very hard and seldom done though you have to

go thru way to many stages just to get a shot

and not only does that require skillz, but a lot of luck as

well cause you will have many ppl playing ATC.

I tend to shy away from this stuff

I have played countless numbers of these and had the same problem too.

I know it sucks, but if you play enough and play well, you will eventually win one.

I know you have to win another tourney after and it prob will be the same story.

I would just like to think that the standard would rise for the round 2 tourney.
