Default Weekly Round 2

Well, i cant be more proud of myself, i actually did it, i conquered something that for some takes years.(lol) i made it to the top 27. the feeling is awesome when you know you overcame a huge crowd and actually made it. i finished the tourney in 16th, i really did want to make it to the final table.

i was wonderin how you guys do in this freerolls, have you made it before, some actually made it more that once, just wanted to see your viewpoints guys.

for you guys that dont know what i am talking about, the freeroll is at pokerstars, you might not play there. i am talking about the pokerstars freeroll.

I'm sorry I dont mean to burst your bubble you played great. But, that NLHE Freeroll now takes you to play the weekly round two 1,000 freeroll.

But there is a catch....

the game for the 1,000 dollars is Omaha HI/LO

good luck

I came played in the hubble's hold'em 10000 ppl max tourney. I ended of coming 69 out of about 7500. I ended us losing with flush king high to flush ace high, and the guy who beat me came second. So close yet so far. I'm starting to do amazing in this stud tourneys i hope to come in the top 27 in one of those

So, you played and beat 7400+ people and didn't get shit for it?

Okay, I know not everyone on here has a huge bankroll. I was sorta at that point when I started (except I had money to make a deposit). But MY GOD PEOPLE!

There's like 5 people on here who are 17 or younger and just freaking stalking the internet for freerolls, free $ contests, or free free shit.

Seriously, what you kids oughta do is go out to Home Depot, get a job, find out what it means to work and actually EARN a paycheck. Then take some of your hard earned cash and deposit it if you'd like to play poker.

Just think, if you would've went to work instead of spending what was probably 6 hours defeating 7400 people you would've had a nice $50 deposit.

Maybe I'm getting old, but I don't give a fuck. I'm sick of reading about these ten year olds and their WSOP ME by 2048 dreams.

You all play NLHE, don't have a fucking clue, and think you're going to be the next Doyle Brunson. Yet you don't know what a big bet is, have no idea about a bankroll, don't understand outs, etc.

Fuck that shit.

(Damn, that was mean, but I feel better.)

Nice post shabi. Even though it sort of applies to me, I see where you're coming from. I may not be the best player or understand the game completely, but it still annoys me to open up the "$50 contest" or one of the freeroll threads and see that 2/3rd's of the posts in there are from people with 3 posts total. (one in the $50 contest, one in the TPF freeroll, and one in the Royal Vegas freeroll.)

I can only imagine how horrible the forum must of been during the first freeroll.

About 2 years ago I got 5th, back when only the top 9 got into the weekly round 2. Since them i have had no luck, I find getting into the top 27 a very hard thing to do even though it does not really take much skill. Congrats and good luck.
