From Freeroll to Satellite

[YuriSLopes]

I was wondering if someone ever made it through and won the ticket at one of these satellites freeroll's in any platform.

Anyone?

If you did, what was your strategy?

I definitely made to some 250€ bounty game once ... Sadly dont remember anymore how many (and which) satellites i played to get there ...

Yes, I've already won a $109 ticket in the 888poker freerolls. But the 888poker freerolls are crazy and the blinds increases very fast, so, my strategy is to wait for any good hand and go all in because in these 888poker satellites there are only few seats for thousands of players.

Guess there hasn't been many or maybe this thread isn't getting much attention.

But I do appreciate @Risto234 and @Cooking for their comments and wish you guys lots of fun at the felt.

Super Turbo mode it isn’t poker, it’s a lottery. I don’t playing this anymore. U spent time and nothing to learn

I remember how an interesting case happened to me closer to the new year. Poker rooms often hold promotions on holidays. I took part in a freeroll and got a cheap ticket. This ticket was intended for participation in another tournament. I managed to get into the prize zone again and the ticket price for the next game increased. After the third tournament, I got my last ticket, which turned from the initial $1 into $10. So I was able to qualify and get to the decisive tournament. My strategy was tight at all stages. I managed to survive the bubble and win more than twice the ticket price. Re-entry was not used.
I realized that people who want to get a ticket to a big tournament play very carefully and tight than those who just invested $ 10.

3 times in this year (109, 125, 530), but don't like to play them, especially the 4-5 steps. just messing up variance, prefer micro buyin satties.

strategy? luck and keep them playing with lots of patiance and time.

Yes, I had ticket winnings of $55 and the subsequent entry into prizes with a win of $114, all in one day)

By playing in a freeroll, it is clear that this is not poker, but somewhere closer to 100 players it already looks like a game. Basically MTTs are played tight with the least amount of crooked hands and rely on yourself and luck. Playing carefully, victory will come, you need experience time and patience. Poker loves the patient.

Yes! Right now actually
Today I played a freeroll sat for a $5.50 ticket, and then I played the second stage and won a $109 entry. Now i'm ITM and keeping going for a while
Edit:
I only payed a $0.11 add on in the first one.
I think that I don't change my strategy, but now I'm playing more carefully near the bubble.

Hello!
The blinds there are growing so fast that the game turns into a lottery. I don't usually try to play well and often go all-in. If I manage to win enough chips to play neatly, I stay.
I even managed to win satellite a few times.

In these freerolls people go all in almost every hand. Just wait for a good hand then go all in in the first stages. Tactics and bluffing dont apply in freeroll satellites lol

Yes indeed, forget about bluff, Just play your selected premium hand. Adjust game at the end when your ticket is almost on your pocket. GL at the tables, and some good tickets to go all the way to the FT!

I recently won a $109 ticket, Sunday million entry. but when it came to the game it was a complete fiasco)
