Message: [QUOTE="Flops'm&Bets'm, post: 618309, member: 25442"] [b]PokerStars Freerolls[/b] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=navy]PokerStars Freerolls...[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=navy]No easy feat there either, considering the normal Freerolls in NLHE are 10,000 entrants deep most of the times.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=navy]Then you Qualify for the Round 2 if you make 27th and up. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=navy]Weekly Round 2 Freeroll - Top prize of $166 depending on entrants. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=navy]Usually around 3500 players. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]The other options on PokerStars is the Country where you live in Freerolls. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]USA has 2 Freerolls of $200 (daily)[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]1st place wins $32. and those usually take up to 7 hrs.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]I play in the Canadian $200 Freerolls all the time and getting to the bubble is a task in itself. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]468 places are paid out of 8,000(max.) entrants.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]1st level payout is $0.10 and the dollars don't hit the payout scale until 8th place. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]It seems that because there is money 'to-go' in the $200 freerolls the play is more LAG is style and the effort of 7 hrs. MTT wears on you and $32 doesn't look so appealing anymore.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]I played in the "Event" Freeroll for Canada exclusive. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]It is called the C.F.L. 1 Mill. Challenge. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]And the top 200 Qualify to Play in Round 2[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]That one has max. 7500 [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]I played in it and made it to 105/7500[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]I Qualified to Play in Round 2. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]I won $2.50 as a result of my effort. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]The Round 2 has a better pay-out there [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]1330 Entrants - 150 get paid [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [LIST] [*][B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]150-46th=$5 [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [*][B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]45-10th=$10 [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [*][B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]9th-7th=$25 [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [*][B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]6th=$50 [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [*][B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]5th=$75[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [*][B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]4th=$100 [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [*][B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]3rd=$150 [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [*][B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]2nd=$200[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [*][B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]1st Gets $1000 to cover Airfare and Expenses - and[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][/LIST][B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]- To Play in a Tournament against 9 other Qualifiers and some Football Pro's [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]during the Canadian Grey Cup (SuperBowl of Canada) [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]The Winner of that 'Live' Event gets to play in [/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]The PokerStars Carribean Adventure for TOP prize of $ 1 Million[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]And VIP Tickets to the Big Football Championship[/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [COLOR=#ff0100]•[/COLOR] 4 days hotel accomodation [COLOR=#ff0100]•[/COLOR] VIP access to parties and concerts [COLOR=#ff0100]•[/COLOR] VIP pass to the Maxim party [COLOR=#ff0100]•[/COLOR] VIP seating with CFL stars at the Grey Cup [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000080]*Keep in mind that this is a promotional Event freeroll.
