Freeroll Strategy

Finally finished in one of those pokerchamps freerolls last night, 17 / 500. Now that they limit it to 500, its much easier than the 900 player games from before. I signed up for the one at 1:30, not sure if I wanted to play, but stuck it out and placed. Feels good

i hate hte 500 cap. i mean, half of them are gonna be gone in the first 3 minutes, why not let everyone register instead of leaving me in the dark a few times.

Are they still all only for $10 and $20? Its better than nothing of course, so for beginners ok, but really, are those really worth it?

I don't think they're capping all of the freerolls at PokerChamps. I'm playing in the 11:30 right now and theres 587 people registered.

They shifted caps up to 700 now, but theyre still capped.

I personally like the caps. Because I don't mind registering a little in advance, and it gives you a better shot at the money

I just noticed this after my wife brought it to my attn. She said they got up to 900+ and had to set a limit. Kinda sucks in a way bc i usually remember about the freeroll like 5 mins b4 it starts

They used to be $10 when it was in beta, but only top three paid ($5, $3, $2) now they have spread it out over 20 places. 20th pays $.25, 1st pays $4.
