Has anyone played the Ferguson Freeroll?

Ferguson Freeroll

I did not know there was a "Ferguson Freeroll". Please advise where on FTP i can find it. Now the 2700 person razz freeroll is fun to play. I have make the money a couple of times. Just play top quality hands until the crowd thins (about 2 hours or about 200 people) and then step it up. You will be fine. It gets tough when it gets to about 75 people. I have also played the $1 Ferguson Tourney a couple of times. I agree with some of the other comments it is a "$1" tourney. Always some idiots.

I try to take a step back and look at supposed idiots objectively. Some are actually treading the fine line between genius and insanity. Gotta love it.

I'm waiting for the PLO freeroll to start right now. Providing I get a good table without much pot-pumping for the majority of the tournament I should do okay. I really need to figure out a way around bad pot limit players. I figured out how to beat several kinds of NL Hold 'Em players, and I can do fine in a play money PLO or Limit Omaha table, even in cash money, but for that you need a nice deep stack, and I learned that the hard way...

If I can stay alert The Ferguson looks like a great deal, both as a freeroll and as a one dollar tournament.

I just discovered that the play money setting has more freerolls available than the real money setting on full tilt thanks to this thread. They're all for tourny credits, but who cares?

Its the same crowd that plays the $100 freeroll, Maybe with some people that don't have real money accounts, since you can play that tournament from .net. Its really cool that 100 people get paid instead of 27, even if it is just a buck. Still way under the normal 10% that shoud get paid, but who is complaining, its a FREEROLL!

Are .net players better, worse, or the same as .com players? Just asking because when I finally got knocked out last night, it was to someone calling, not betting or raising but calling me when they were behind just to get their miracle cards. Seriously, they were paint+anything and other equally odd hands while not even short stacked but not big stack either, very odd stuff.

I have won the $1T twice and I thought it was rather easy and the best of all - fast. Easy - because in the 1st half hour at least a half of people fall out going all-in every hand, and fast because it took just over an hour to make it to the money.
After the wins, I did not join Ferguson however. I chose to exchange the $1T for real $ and just add on other freeroll money wins to actually join $1+0.25 Sit&Go. I see it as better ods on flipping the first $1, then playing over a thousand people on Ferguson.

You're right. It is better odds. It's kinda comparable to a cash game having better odds than any kind of tournament. The more players, the more people you have to beat. That puts an instant dent in your odds right there, and it's a huge one. So a big multi-table tournament's more a lottery than an SNG. I like splitting the difference. I like twenty seat SNG's. They're fun because you get to switch to LAG a lot sooner, but have to exercise TAG.

Still, you can't beat an MTT for the payouts, it's just that it's such a lot of work to get to paid. They're real tests of endurance. Mentally, physically, and emotionally. That's just online. I imagine live ones to be even more draining.

Thought about it and you can't really compare cash to tournament. It's just that your odds of winning money and keeping it are better. In a cash game you only need to win a very few hands to double up or better, and don't really have to beat anyone though that's a lot of fun. Oh but you only keep the money if you leave at the right time.
