888 100k grand diamond freeroll thread

[Sunz of Beaches]

someone else in? very dissapointing structure with only 3 mins levels (while the daily donkaments have 4 mins levels lol) and only 50bb starting stack. also the event goes into day two after 18 levels (which is like after 1 hour) which is another fail by 888.

currently sitting in 404/3250

Day 2 amigos (and itm?) with 5bb left 😉 Is there another day one tournament, someone knows?

 

[wrzlbrnft]

I was in, but not long, got busted arround level 5
anyway I don't care, I would haven't had time to play on day 2...

Congrats

I also played lost KK v 22 they made a straight

And to your questions no there isn't any more day 1s to run thats was the last one 888 said.

Also yes day 2 is ITM i looked at the tournament lobby (2462) left from (21,905) day 1 entries with 2500 paid Min Cash is $10

Gl for your day 2

I hope because there is 2 weeks to go before day 2 runs they put an extra day 1 next Sunday because there are less entrants in day 2 then paid.

Let us know how you get on

no more Day 1's?
Figures they awarded 4 more $100k Day 1 tickets this week, lol

I started out in today's game with a table FULL of sitters. It was great. Then I get 1 donkey joining the table, playing back at me every hand... til' he 2 outters me on turn AJ < TT on a AJ4 T board, allin on flop for 40bb's
Made it to ~35min. mark.

Why does 888 make such poor structures for all of their freerolls & promotions? Don't they want a bit of poker played in them?
ie. the Monthly Level 60+ $5k freeroll, the Level 80+ $10k... those games are terrible. But why? (once again it makes absolutely NO SENSE at all... something 888 is quite good at )
And what about that monthly $25k Elite Tournament??? They won't even tell you how to qualify for it? Do you need to rake a certain amount? Who knows... they won't even tell you, LOL. Another fail.

Are u sure? I did also not find any more tournaments for day 1 in the lobby but i checked for last month and there they ran one every week. Really hope there will be no more and the mincash is locked up.

What a strange structure really. They could just let this one play out in one day with this super quick structure.

Why not make this a six minutes if 2 day and those daily donkaments where the mincash is a few cents 2 or 3 minutes? Wonder if spongebob himself makes these decisions @ 888.

 

[RhinoRyan89]

At the start of the promotion they said it was a one ticket for day 1 and no opportunity for a second one.

One shot at making day 2 and they already went back on that and gave out a 2nd chance.

So that why I said with there being 2 weeks until the day 2 runs i wouldn't be surprised if they put on one more day 1 next Sunday.

My guess is that there will be more day 1's. They are just not yet in the lobby. U can probably just qualify one time for day two.

Way to go 888. Cant wait to play out that tournament with my 5bb stack!

 

[member401988]

I like 888 there are many free tournaments and good poker players

 

[Edu1]

I'm in the day 2 of this tournament, 15k stack left

 

[Rory59]

I’m a relative newbie who has made giant leaps in last 2 weeks. No more deposits of $100 and wasting it on higher stakes. Finished 110th or so in Sunday’s 1pm group of ~2500, believe I had about only 11BB. Made my first straight flush playing for real $….Zynga doesn’t count 😂

If I’m not mistaken, we are all guaranteed $10…..Could be interesting if I make a few hands early

 

[RhinoRyan89]

Looks like my assumption was correct as there is another day 1 running this weekend which has been added to the schedule.

Sunday 13th Aug im already registered Gl all still looking to make day 2

Yeah great so everyone can come back weeks later with a 1-10bb stack to play out a turbo tournament (and not even itm)

Facepalm.

I think you need to play with 4-5 thousand in the casino for a few months in a row to get elite.

 

[MishkaZL]

I also have a ticket for this tournament. Of course, I don't like its structure either, but nevertheless, this is a chance that I will definitely take advantage of. I hope I will achieve a good result. Good luck

 

[finaltable1]

well i got another ticket this Sunday, but couldn't play it

Yes, and I received a ticket for this one.

 

[RoyalNotta]

I really wish they had more freerolls for levels 80 and up at 888 poker. I've put in a lot of cash and they only have one freeroll a month for this status.

 

[FF2586]

Hey,
I tried twice but I busted.
Got my ticket for the next try, if there's still flights (now that you brought it up, i remember that I didn't check if I can use the ticket I got)
I agree with you regarding the structure, for such a big freeroll with these many flights stretched on so many weeks, better be an 8mins level at least.
Anyway
Gl at the tables.

It may be that in one or another tournament, 888 has a strange structure, but I still really like the App!

Did you check the structure of THAT Tournament? It is terrible/ stupid.

Actually I don't choose a tournament for the structure, but there are some in which I have a quicker adaptation!

IT's a special tournament that you qualify for by playing a certain number of hands, betting on SPorts, playing a certain # of tournaments, etc. etc. etc to earn a ticket to play in it. What some here are complaining about is... it's GREAT PRIZE MONEY ($100k) but the structure of the tournament is TERRIBLE.
Do you understand now?

 

[puzzlefish]

You guys sound like you've never played any of 888's two day special events before?

 

[Poker Orifice]

Anyone play Day2?
So after waiting to play this, I started with only 4.5bb's. I managed to get it tripled up.
I went out ~100players off the money bubble (I think 38,000 entrants total?),
I Lost to a player who has results on 888Poker (.com) and also has stats on the 888poker newjersey site. How is that possible unless it's an American playing on a VPN?
Guess I'll send his name (& screenshot in to support). And besides, guy makes an uber loose/bad call to my 3bai shove, lol... so fk him!
