Hi there,
Was wondering what are your thought regarding this event. What is your game-plan?
I have a few question which i hope to have your precious input.
1) Start early or late register?
2) Will you rebuy if busted?
3) Will you Addon? If yes, how much is your chip stack that you will addon?
4) What kind of strategy will you use?

Please share your opinion.
Thank you!

Play wellHope for some luck
The rebuys are only 2500 chips not sure it makes sense for the smaller buy in games
The addon are 10,000 chips if could survive to it, may take it especially on the bigger buy in games as less players will addon.
Have to see how much is a min cash if it less than the add on amount it probably would not make sense to add on

Let's hope that the software doesn't crash first .....

The add-on is only 5 BBs at level 19 so not sure its worth it, and makes it difficult to late reg and have a decent stack. Depends on how many players take it etc. I also just realized that these are rebuy/add-on but also re-entry (max 2x) which is a bit confusing. Can't afford the ones with higher rebuy fees so will have to enter at the start, play tight and make the most of my 20BB starting stack, which won't be easy as many will probably be shoving and rebuying early.

These series have 2 Free rebuy.
DO NOT click on rebuy after busted.
Exit the tourney>go to tourney lobby>click on the re-entry>choose the view video option instead of using you cash.

Well done! I have only played 1 so far. And the players are worse then a normal freeroll, with the 2 extra frew rebuys.



My strategy for the first 1 was to try and get all in pre if there was alot of action and try for a quick double or triple up, seeing as we have 3 enteies basically. Do that for the second entry. And 3rd entry basically play sound poker.


I was wondering as well about wether there were benefits to late reg. I dont really see any... there are alot of clowns going all in at the start, so i gamble and try to get a stack theb play my A game.

It seems like this strategy, to go all in right away is being applied by at least 33% of the players I seen.

The biggest thing is to hope to get a quick double up, which if u have 3 shots to do that. You should get 1 at least.

Gotta be real lucky in these...i am gonna stay uo all night to play all of these if any of you see me (chefdd)say hi

Also your looking at about 1500-2000 entrants, no doubt plenty of multi accounters, who got 3 shots on each account. That is so annoying.

So basically you gotta be really lucky. Pick your spots after you build a stack. The tournies are turbos, so i feel building a stack early is important.

Also early on you need to make looser calls to preflop all ins, you need to expand your calling range. As most people are ginna be getting it in very very loose.

Ya bud.

It makes for a wild first hour. As alot of people are utilizing the free rebuys, by going all in right away with anything, knowing they got free rebuys.

So..if that isnt your strategy. I would suggest, opening your calling range to preflop allins. To weak Kings any ace any pair. These clowns are shoving any 2 pre.

Also, if i am sitting on a starting stack, and there are multiple all ins ahead of me, i am callin with any 2. Since there are 2 free rebuys.

I am in #7 freebuy now as we speak. ITM already.
Another Free cash from ACR...lol

My strategy is "Surviving"
All u need to do is survive till Late Registration ran out, then you are almost surely ITM.
Start grabbing the blinds once ITM, nothing to loose and everything to win

I started early on the first dealing. Only with 1000 chips i can't do much but to wait patiently and i don't chase any draw or try to grab the blind since it's early level so no point grabbing those.
I think it's because i play NIT on early stage and then switch to LAG once got ITM.

Both Breast Cancer ITM don't have free re-entry so it's only 1 attempt.
#4 Freebuy i didn't use any of those re-entry
#7 Freebuy i used one and i just finished ranked 100+ with $0.45

My Screenname is Sykc
You must be Chefdd

I play live game on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
No poker on monday
The rest or the week i play online and study

I have a question. Can you redeem or sell venom tickets??What about if you have multiple step 2 tix?Do you know?

And damn, you were so close!!!Step 7 is the final step right?

I'm of Chinese Ethnic Singaporean in my mid forties.
No, you can't sell any of those Step 1-6 but once you got cleared step 6 and got the actual Venom entry, which is ($2500+$150), it is transferable to another player. Which means you can cash it out at a discounted price to anyone who are willing to buy it from you. It has to go through ACR Cashier to do the transfer of your ticket to the buyer and then he/she will transfer the credit to your account.

Anyway, playing more venom steps are good. You get to polish up skill and PP and CP points once step 2 onward.
I have collected 2x$10 from Loyalty reward and lots of PP exchange of $1 just by playing venom freeroll.

Yeah, keep playing the venom freeroll. Winning an entry means you are $2500 richer if you wanna sell it.

I also plan to participate in these tournaments. But yesterday when I tried to sign up, technical problems started. I hope that these problems will be resolved today.

My 3rd Freebuy series cashing.
a Whooping $0.22...lol

2 more cashing from Freebuy

1) Personally I expect 2 or 3 levels, the registration is long as well as the blind change, the disadvantage is the small amount of chips so entering in the end is very risky, everything will depend on how you feel played at the beginning or later

2) No, I will not make a rebuy, I think it is absurd to make it in those tournaments, for example: if the last place awarded wins much less than the cost of the buyback does not make much sense to buy back, obviously your goal is not to play and win the last prize, but I always think of the worst case scenario
(only make rebuy with the option to watch the video)

3) No, I would not add-on either, basically the same thing I said in answer 2 applies, and that adds up if you have already done a rebuy, it would be a bit worse

4) My strategy is simple, do not risk myself from the beginning, always try to be very calm, in freerolls it is very difficult to have a strategy to follow, here the players are more unpredictable than in a paid tournament

I managed to cash 6 tourney from freebuy so far.
Accumulated $33.40 with ZERO spending

Hi.
These are great tournaments. I already managed to win some money. I think the best strategy in these tournaments is to wait for strong cards and thus try to double.
Good luck.

I've only registered for one freeroll so far...I got an hour into it and the game froze...I'm not mad...stuff happens and I'm sure they are doing everything they can to fix the issues...

As for late or early register it just depends on when I see it or when I get on...I don't mind starting late...more freeroll all-in players gone and real poker starts :-)...

I might addon or rebuy into tourney if field is large...

I'm not sure if these freerolls are turbo or reg...if turbo I'll playing a little looser...if reg type tourney I sit back and wait for goods hands to play until it gets deep than play the table...

Good Luck!!!

3 more ITM today
#21 PLO8 i got 2nd with $224 payout...woot!

Total profit till now is $257.80
No rebuy and no addon

Please don't use money to "re-buy" or Add-on. There's so many freebuy event everyday. About 6-8 per day. After busted the 3rd time using the Free Re-entry, just wait for the next freebuy to start.

Nice catch and cash in #21 well done congratulations.
Won nothing yet all in on flop type coolers keep getting me shall keep trying.

Hey, i currently rank #1 on this #23

1 more cashing. Today was good, 4 cashing in a roll.

Total profit: 258.25

2 more. 11th and 12th cashing from Freebuy.

Total profit: $262.18

Jam all in is what i say.

3 more Cashing yesterday. Went deep in #35 PLO, my AhAdKhJd got knock out by villain when he made his straight draw on the river.

Total cashed events: 16
Total profit: $267.62

My general strategy on these free rolls is to initially play tight and get it in with premiums. For some reason, I get called with AA/AK/KK up against Ax and worse pretty frequently. Suckouts may happen but in those cases I just suck it up and move to the next freeroll, at least not a lot of time was wasted. Later I'll play more carefully, of course

starts as soon as you can you only get 1000 chips at most of them and some you are allowed to re enter if you watch a promo video so you need to take advantage of that early on. Considering game play you have to be carefull with what hands you choose to play since reading if an opponent is good or fishing may sometimes be hard

I try not to rebuy or addon
