A typical hand early in a freeroll tounament.

First of all I would like to state this is not a bad beat story, it just shows the mentality of some players when they play in these tournaments.

This is the 5th hand in the double stack freeroll tournament.

THEACTOR	Small blind		10.00	10.00	2470.00
MRCHIPS370	Big blind		20.00	30.00	5030.00
	Your hole cards	K K
spanner101	Call		20.00	50.00	2100.00
Villian	All-in		2470.00	2520.00	0.00
smackpack	Fold
apollo_11	All-in		2630.00	5150.00	0.00
THEACTOR	Fold
MRCHIPS370	Fold
spanner101	Fold
apollo_11	Unmatched bet		160.00	4990.00	160.00
Villian	Show	8 A
apollo_11	Show	K K
Flop
		7 A 4
Turn
		6
River
		J
Villian	Win	Pair of Aces	4990.00		4990.00

I still had the last laugh because I lasted 15 minutes longer than the villian did.

theres no real value in freerolls on sky, i finished 21st in the twitter freeroll, only won 3.25, for 2 hours.

This was for a place in Friday's Doublestack tournament, and I have won through before in the Open freeroll to go on to cash in the tournament, so it is worth a try.

Hi Apollo - hope this wasn't me, pretty sure Iwouldn't play this but know I was on your table for a while. I know this is no comfort but I managed to freeroll through which is a first for me. It does become a shove fest after not too long so you do have to get busy however this all - in was a tad daft however some don't like to hang round long - either double up or go out.

GL in the future

The free-rolls for tournement entry are a joke tbh, top 20 out of like 900+ is crazy ! And they cost 50 or 100 points.

No, it wasn't you. I got moved to your table after the villain had been knocked out.

As for the other reply's. I know that the chances of winning though to the main event is normally about 70:1 but as I have stated earlier, it is possible and you can go on to cash as well.
There is not a lot else to use your poker points on so I would rather use them to try and gain entry into a main event rather than trying to win a few pence for 2 hours play.
