What?!?!?!?!

Freerolls help the sites by bringing in new players who might otherwise not play.
Many will enjoy the experience & then make a deposit. Those who win some 'freeroll money' & do not deposit will still be paying rake.

But thats not it . They are givin away in terms of dollars !! So this is effectin them . So now they changed to Ring game tickets and Tournament dollars . By this way also they can bring in traffic . But Giving dollars , there is a breach in their system :D They found it , i too knew it . There will be losses if they continue , enough damage is already done

I'm not sure if I have this in the right topic, but I finally saw where to start a new thread...
Here goes
Has anyone encountered the new game schedule - freerolls in Full Tilt?
It would have been nice to get a bit of warning - even an announcement on their site ..
Like " We are cancelling all the $150 Freeroll games, and we are cancelling all the individual country freerolls.. etc."
Boy have they ever cancelled a lot of freerolls, not to mention changed the prize pool structure on the ones that anyone has won tickets for !
All this without one word of warning... anyone else noticed?
Better yet anyone have any idea of why and what they are planning? I feel I missed something huge here !
I look forward to any answers or opinions for or against their changes.



I have already wrote about this, everyone should change freerolls, those stupid tournaments should be with shorter blinds and some normal registering cap. :)

Would have been nice to get a warning that our weekly round 2 tickets would become next to worthless.

You can still use your round 2 tickets, I used one Sunday, I have 9 remaining :)

Yes but I only said they are ~NEXT to~ worthless.

They were for a $1,000 freeroll,

Now they can only be used for winning a share of $250 in 'NEW TO THE GAME tickets'. :mad:

You can enter a $5000 freeroll with those tickets and the payouts are not in tickets.

I also started to play those round 1 freerolls, ofcourse not for that 250$ freerolls, but because of 5000$ multi-entry tournament. I thought it will be harder to win tickets, cause there are around 4000-5000 players and I am not usually very succesfull in turbo games (I need to improve that) but I won 6 of them from last 10 tournaments I played. Not bad I guess :)

But I still miss countrybased FR so much :/

Hadn't spotted that. Thanks v. much.

Do you think they will be regular or should I blow most of my old tickets on multiple entries.

I am hoping they are regular, but I am not sure. Could go for multiple entries just in case :)

It is trivial to take 4 tickets per month (if that 5k remains it will be monthly) so why not take all 4 entries?

I think its possible to make even 1-2 per day :) Just have to play super tight and aggresive at beginning, when you have monster just shove preflop, in 90% times someone will call you :) Its harder in those where you have 300 starting chips, there you need more luck at beginning to get some playable cards, but in later phase its same...

I also used to play a lot of Fulltilt freerolls and noticed a clear difference in these same tournament ... In my opinion, I think it was a very drastic change from the Fullltilt which was not good, should have lowered premiums and maintain normal freeroolls freerroll dedicated to each country because it was funny to play and an asset to my humble opinion ...

Am very much looking forward to that 5k freeroll this sunday, got my 4th weekly ticket sometime the past couple of nights in a hyper. So 4 entries equals best possible results:
1st - Winner final 9max table
9th - Entry remaining on each of two 5 handed tables (someone gets put out and down to nine, can't be two of me or anyone on FT so would be a final table of 8th meaning a default 9th place)
18th - Entry remaining on each of 3 tables (7 handed, 6 handed, 6 handed, someone else gets put out so down to 18 for two tables so a defaulted 18th position and down to 17 players)
27th - entry remaining on each of 4 tables of 7 handed (another player gets put out and down to three tables so defaulted a 27th now with 26 players remaining).

This does make me wonder, with multientry when you have two and go to 1 table the stacks are combined, I guess if a situation would ever possible arrise as I have noted above (which would be freaking awsome just because the chances of it ever happening especially in the field this is going to have would be retarded) then each time one of your entries are awarded a position the chips would probably be equaly devided among the entries you have remaining?
As a programmer makes me think these multi-entry tournies must have some crazy logic going on behind the scenes in the software haha (would be funny as hell if the situation ever did arise and it broke fulltilt because they figure it would never happen with such improbable odds and so never coded for it) - I know I'm kinda a nerd and love this stuff.

Very much looking forward to this, and hoping that they at least run it once a month perhaps? I mean even running this once a month and the 250 weekly's (which unless your new to the game need first in to get a usable ticket if you didn't notice the other tickets are new to the game tickets) compared to all of the country and 150$ freerolls they ran before they are giving out a lot less over the span of a month.

The 5k is going to be at least worth the time if you can manage to bink it for like 500$. :) gl to all, but leave my four entries alone I wanna find out if their programmers considered the possibility haha.

in my opinion, they will bring the freerolls back. as soon as all players who only play freerolls and make no deposit stop to login. and in about a month... tadaa.. new players, please come and sign up on full tilt with many, many free action.. becouse every site need newby's or will broke eventually.
