Freerolls are terrible

[pivotal]

only freerolls i play are player points freerolls where the prize money is better and the field is lower.

The freerolls on Pokerstars must be one of the biggest waste of time. YOu have to beat a field of a few thousand to make the final table, just to get a chance to enter another tourney of a few hundred, in order to win a few bucks. Seems like a lot of work to me.

I think their freerolls are capped at 6000 (at least the "Hubble" ones). Like you said, you win a seat in another tournament where first place is $100. The cool thing about Stars is that they are having this MEGA Freeroll (12/26) w/ $100,000. First place is $20k, and 270 places are paid.

True the stars one's are a complete waste of space.

Lou do you know any of the details on Stars' mega freeroll on the 26th? When does registration start and is the field capped, and do you know if theres any raked hand requirement for entering.

The Stars Hubble freerolls are bad, but has anyone here played in AbsolutePoker's $25 freerolls? These are ridiculous on a few aspects. Only the top 5 out of a capped field of 1500 get paid. And what makes even less sense, at least to me, is that 1-5 all get the same amount, $5. It just doesn't seem very logical to me.

Now as far as bad beats go, this is the bad beat forum after all, I just had one put on me in one of the said AP freerolls.

Blinds are 20/40, I have roughly 2300 in chips. Folded around to me on the button. I try to steal the blinds with Q8o by tripling the bet, SB folds, BB calls. BB at this point has over 2000, 140 less than me to be exact. Flop comes K68, BB bets 40, I call with middle pair. Turn comes 8, giving me trip 8s, he bets 40 again, I raise to 600, he pushes in, I call. He flips over K3, sure enough the river is one of his two outs, and my 8s full of Ks boat is beat by a Ks full of 8s boat.
