I boosted my pokerstars bankroll $25 USD, so I could play these new freerolls that are running.
Played one just now, 5832 entrants (which is nice, earlier in the day there were 10k or more people in these).
When there were around 800 left my power went out (was stormy) and I managed to get back on about 15 minutes later.
Had 1/2 avg. stack, built up a bit. Then I defended my BB against a min-preflop-raise with a very marginal hand (95o), and flopped an open-ender,
pushed for my whole stack (pot sized bet), which was my main mistake,
but I thought to myself it was either shove and hope for a fold, or check/fold myself.
I had 1k left, and doubled, survived a minute or two, then lost with AKsuited to a pocket pair.
Think I played fairly well though.
I figured it out, and if I played every single 2k freeroll I'm getting about $20 in value of tournament entries. Which really isn't much. I'll try to boost my bankroll a few dollars at least this month through these freerolls and weekly round 2's. I'll try to play for fun this month, not worry about losing my BR, just play as many free games as I can.
