Well, I tried out Full Tilt Poker's software, and the freerolls fill up so fast - I did not even see it coming, and it's full.

Are there any strategic ways to get into them, as I can't - They fill up in <1 minute.


I figure freerolls may help me build a small bankroll on FT. Other than 1c tourney's at Stars, haha.

The game.

It's not worth it playing FR on Tilt IMO. There are much better sites for freerolls. As you have seen yourself, they fill up very fast, they have like 1600 people and 25$ prizepool. Nah, I wouldn't if I were you.

The best freerolls on FT happen during the WSOP. They have a fantasy draft for each event and if your picks do well, you get to play in a freeroll. Usually with a prize pool of $1000. The event is capped at 2000 players and usually half of the eligible players don't event register for the event and the other half forget to play. So there's a ton of dead money.

The events do mirror the WSOP, so if your picks in a Razz event did well, you would be playing in a razz freeroll. It would be very easy to build up a small roll of $10-$20 playing these events, even if you only min cashed in most of them.

My only other reccomendation would be to look into joining a private poker league that offers freerolls to members. The competition will be tougher, but the field size will a lot smaller.

GL!

Thanks for the advice, I tried out a few different Poker sites' software, and Carbon Poker seems pretty good for their freerolls as there's not too many players on there.

I'm gonna see how far I can get in these freerolls, peace.

The game.

Freerolls are easy as hell to get into.

1 go to tournaments and click the all tab.

Click the "buy-in" tab to sort the tournaments by buy in.

Scroll down to freerolls, and look for the "announced" ones. (Freerolls that haven't opened yet)

Find a freeroll you want to enter and open the lobby.

Registration starts at 39:56 and fills up at about 39:50, but as long as you are there at 39:56 you should have no issues getting in.


That being said. Freerolls are overrated.

besides its played by crazy idiots not easy to win late they will shove almost anything at you its not truly playing poker IMO

[rrumsey]

what is a good site for freerolls? I have played Tilt and Stars and both are mindless cluster**cks of morons shoving everything. I played a razz one and got to the 4th break and wanted to shoot my self it was so dull and i didn't place after more than 4 **cking hours. Absolute has a few decent ones but that is all i have found.

Carbon Poker is the god of Freeroll sites.

Pretty easy competition too.

^^ Carbon Poker is quite good for freerolls since the registration fills up slowly. It's also not like those 1c PokerStars freerolls, where the structure is so screwed up.

I just finished a Freeroll there and placed 16, on the $50 freeroll. Quite proud of myself

Find forums with private freerolls if any are still around. I don't know which ones are still active. That's how I built my first roll, was playing private freerolls from forums. Had a ton of money built up on iPoker doing this, they were usually really good about putting together private freerolls for sites.

Don't know the climate now though.

Just be ready to register when the time comes!
