Message: [QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 1844273, member: 33113"] As mentioned already in this thread > find some private ones if you can as the play is generally superior (< so it'll actually resemble poker as opposed to bingo) & will have smaller fields & better payouts. Really though... I'd just make a small deposit if you can & play microstakes. Large field freerolls where only top handful get itm are pretty much a waste of time (from the perspective of attempting to build a roll). There doesn't seem to be nearly as many priv. freerolls out there these days (although maybe it's just cuz I don't look for them so I don't find them).... FTP used to prob have the most of all the sites. Your question about depositing before being able to withdrawl funds.... 'yes' on some sites (pretty sure all the merge sites require a deposit before making a withdrawl... I could be wrong though.. I'm not a big fan of merge & rarely play on there). My experience with Carbon/merge... I was going to play in some priv. tourney, thought about depositing but then noticed there was a freeroll starting up just after I'd downloaded the software (this was in early '08,.. maybe late'07 ?).. it had umpteen gazillion entrants in it & was at around 10-11pm my time. I enter it but mostly just to get familiarized with the software (I intended on purchasing a MC-GiftCard the next day). I accumulated a bigstack & then just kept on playing. My partner went off to bed... but I kept on playing.... & playing.. & playing. It was after 4am & I was still 'playing'. 5am & it was lookin' good to get in the money!!!.. Yes!! Only top10 got paid & I was going to be one of them!!! Weeeeee!!... Lucky me & only my first try on the site!!! 5:20am., we're on the bubble.... I'm in SB & it's folded to me & I look at my screen & see 'AQ'... YES!!!! I SHIP IT! (happy to pick up blinds & antes).. BB Calls with garbage... a really terrible call given the time we'd played, the stack sizes of others on the table, ICM, etc. etc. (J7s)... he runner runner hits backdoor flush & 'bink'.... 'gg' me. What a HUGE freak'n waste of time!!! I try to sleep at 5:30am, knowing I've totally fk'd up my next day by staying up into the wee hrs. to play a #%#%**%!!! freeroll & won NOTHING!!! I still planned on purchasing the MC-GiftCard... but when I got up I said 'fk it!' & didn't bother with it. Skipped the game I'd hoped to play in... then luckboxed a $2 score in another 'private' freeroll that had small field of players. Ran that $2 up to over $1,100, playing very few games on there... mostly just CC games (& a few others). Planned on withdrawl all of it... left myself logged in during holidays while out of town... woke up in morning to discover my acc't. had been played on & lost near all of it playin' $80 6mx DoN's (< person who'd never played online pokerzzz... & had zero clue). Huge sigh. So.. cliff notes: just go make a small deposit.... 'unless' you can patiently wait for a CC Freeroll on there & hope to make it into the money. (personally I'd just go make a deposit) [/QUOTE]
