In that tournament there is 100% chance for the first hand to go All-in
The second hand is 98% chance for someone to go All-in... etc
One word - Unplayable...

i totally agree that this tournament is HUGE waste of time since there are like 15k+ players always, and poolprize is SO small, i mean 4 out of 17k get 0.4$... i guess you can earn more by clicking adds at some random site or something

but who plays this tournament, you do not think the awards it offers. People who play this tournament think the points that corresponds to the site and it will accumulate to win the prizes that the site offers. Recalling that for first place on the site is an award of $ 1,500.

realy why people play this tournament, make some deposit of $10 or $20, and try to do something.
Freeroll is ok when you can win over $20 for wining the tournament and have place to show some good poker game, but this is no worth of time.

I don't like this tournament. It is so crazy, totally nutts and unpredictble. Sometimes I was in the money, but to be in the final table it is extremaly rough, uncertain and too many hours to spend. I recently quit this tournaments. There are a lot of better freerolls with less players and more prizepool to conquer.

For the last ten years, pokerstars is getting worse and worse. And to make the issue more tragic - as the times go by - they're worsening faster and faster. I'm not just angry, I'm furious!
But you've somehow managed to find the only crime they aren't guilty of. These tournaments are good for the purpose. Most of you just seek the wrong purpose...
A) Practicing
i) New players can learn and practice the game
ii) Experienced players can practice patience and discipline
iii) Everyone can test various strategical and tactical ideas
B) League standings and monthly prizes
Winning the money prize (on the particular tourney you play) isn't the goal; earning as many points as you can, is the goal. This way, you're improving your monthly standings...
i) Open league offers modest money prizes and pass to Premier league
ii) Premier league offers bigger prizes (though not easy) and practicing in tougher field
C) Quick and easy money
D) Free booze
E) Naked girls
Sorry, if you're looking for C, D, or E - that's just a wrong place*. But you might want to review A and B again - maybe those features aren't entirely useless after all...
* about C, D, E - I'm not saying you shouldn't continue your search elsewhere
All in all, can't believe I'm defending Pokerstars, but in this particular case, I can't blame them too much...

Ok. Thanks for the tip, but I do not have too many time to play poker and I prefer to play tournament more "winable", with more chances to final table, with less time to play.

The open league is indeed not so fun to play, but I did it to get in the Premier League and to get the Big Bang ticket. The Premier league works totally different. Also there I don't do it for the prices in one game, but for the leaderboard of the month and the prices being reached out there.
Tip: if you play the open league with the purpose to get in the Premier League: be very patient. Especially in the beginning of the game you see alot of bingo playing with crazy all-ins, but it gets better after half an hour. In the first half hour I only played my premium hands preflop. If you hold on to this stategy it's not that hard to get qualified for the Premier League, where leaderboardprices are way better.

I'm trying to get the premier league. What say the tournaments are totally different. For example, in the open in 1 hour of game you already can punctuation, playing at the premiere in 3 hours of game that u get a score. The game is more time consuming and difficult because the opponents are not as stupid as those of the open. What disturbs me more time is game time. When it exceeds 2 hours of play, my concentration is a little weak.

Few months I played almost every day because I wanted to get into the Premier League. I failed, and now I do not have much time so I do not play anymore. I think the OpenSkill League is good for those who are just learning to play poker.

What can I say .. if you loose your concentration after 2h, maybe MTT's in poker is not for you. I don't know. Maybe some brainfood, coffee or tea and a little activity in the 5 min. break. F.ex. I do the dishes or clean something small in breaktime. Don't get distracted by doing other things during the game, by watching tv or so. Or maybe play 2 games, so you don't get bored if you have to wait a long time to play a hand in the Premier league. Goodluck!
With me, my concentration goes up during a long MTT. Maybe it's the adrenaline.
