edited July 2009 in Poker Chat
Ive decided to do an experiment i have 1148 poker points and 0p credit instead of adding cash to my balance im going to only play in freeroll tournaments and see how much can win from sky by just using the poker points i have starting with tonights midnight freeroll ( 11/07/09 ) i'll keep record off every freeroll i play and where finished and if so how much won what ever i have won once used up my poker points i'll give to charity

    Good luck with your experiment. And tbh i'm a very new player myself and with the 500 points they give ya i've been trying to do the same thing aswell, i have £1.17 atm after 20 free-rolls hoepfully gonna get as much as i can so i can play 30p sit"n"go's without paying only 3 so far soon shud be more lol.

    Good luck.

    Ive been playing the freerolls for the last week or so. Never bothered before.

    If you are a good player, I would be amazed if you made very much, as the freerolls reward the worst play/ players.
     
    Ive lost every all-in bar two where I have had significantly the best hand ( and thats about 20 all ins). Two obscure cards such as 36 off will, the majority of the time, beat a solid hand such as AQ etc in the tournaments.

    your do well to make £10, good luck to you though, these freerolls are totally rubbish, i cant see why you cant exchange them for entry or satellites to the open & velocity mmts etc. at least you would have a chance to get a good win

    come on skypoker give ryan123 a chance to win some proper cash for charity, please start letting players exchange thier points for satellittes or entry to proper tourneys instead of just freerolls, if you did this it would be very popular im sure. would like a response from somebody of sky with this idea! so tikay, michelle,richard, sky adam etc come on wana know why we cant exchange or points for other tourneys!!

    The freerolls are shocking on this site. Shocking.

    Whats the point in entering them?

    I tried one this morn. Had pocket kings and raise 4 x bb. Flop is 766. First to act min bets, I go all in, other folds. He turns over 56. What a joke. Out in  63rd.

    For each £20 freeroll there are on av 310 entrants or so. Thats 3100 poker points/ £310 in rake paid.

    Thats a nice little thing you have going on SKY isn't it.

    Terrible.

    The rewards on other sites are SO much better.

    I will play elsewhere from now on.

    However, i will make sure I use all of the 4100 points I have sitting in my account.

    Thats 410 £20 freerolls lol.

    I agree jimbo.

    18000 poker points eh?

    Thats £1800 in rake paid.

    What do they give you in return? Nothing.

    Seriously mate. Leave.

    You could play the freerolls as a kind of chillout game, as I intend to do. But then again, if you try and play proper poker, you will lose as these freerolls appear to reward the poor players ( thats based on numerous accounts I have read, not on my own experience ), and it will probably 'do your nut in'.

    i got quick responce to my email here is what i got

    Hi Richard,

    Thanks for your email.

    I'm afraid that it would not be possible to enter you in to tournaments for money without you paying an entry fee into the tournament.

    Kind Regards,
    Amy

    I did similar last 2 weeks... got up to about 50p via free rolls, doubled up on cash, then again and again... down a bit now but about £5 in the account. Play the 100point wednesday one or the Community one if there is one on a Friday. £250 one is more worthwhile. Came in 9th last Fri for £3.75.  Good luck it is possible. Have you cashed in your new player freeroll? my mrs did and made £30.

    the newplayer freeroll is the "£500 Private" one on a Friday. Maybe you have not checked the box allowing sky to email you promotions?.. (email sky?)

    Assisted the mrs on one £20 one a couple of weeks ago and she won that 2 to 3hrs for £5 lol but we are talking pure luck to win these things.
