Default 1 PM Free Out early. Unhappy but at least I didn't waste my time with this Crap

It's just amazing how much a waste of time these Freerolls are getting to be. Sorry Fonz but, this 1pm was just nonsense.

Bad hand after bad hand is being dealt to this guy and he wins with them. And is in chip lead.

First he calls 3x BB with a 2 gap low suited hand and pulls off a straight. AJ suited made the raise preflop but the guy didn't care. Sorry. If the person who is doing this is reading. But, your play was not even worth spit.

I am already starting to get frustrated over all the crap hands that are being played. Worse part is they are the hands that are winning

Had to chuck several good hands because I knew that the crap hands had me beat.

I have about 1100 left. Still early.

I bet 6x BB hoping to get rid of the crap hands. Well guess who calls me. The guy with the chip lead who has been playing crap hands pretty much every hand he has won.

The flop is 3 clubs. I know he picked up the flush and my 2 pair is behind. I only have 560 left.

He bets. Now I am 100% positive he has the flush. With the 560 left I could just fold here and continue with my small stack.

But, like I said. I am frustrated with this Tourney already. And this crap of bad hands like his getting a break.

Odds are against me getting my Boat. But, it is time someone knocked this guy down a notch.

Not to be. His flush holds up.

What a load of Nonsense that He would call 6x the BB with an 8 6 of clubs. And then flop the flush.

JOKE JOKE JOKE

Next tourney will likely be the same.

Sorry Fonz. But, this kind of junk makes it where playing these tourneys is mostly a waste of time.

That is why I went all in when I knew I had the worst hand. Why waste my time on people who are going to do this. And then get rewarded for playing crap.

I dont think calling them a waste of time is cool. Many people come to this site and this site is able to obtain traffic from the freerolls. Also, he cant control the cards dealt or the players that play the cards.

If you dont like the tournamen, I dont see why you play. It may be a flaw in your game that you cannot adapt and change your style according to the players you play.

If you read my whole thread you would see I said they are beginning to be a waste of time. For the reason I meantioned here and for other reasons others of have mentioned. I even went so far as saying post restrictions that would prevent me from playing in the short run would not be a bad thing.

I think the big reason people started these private freerolls was to elevate the level of game play that was at freerolls which is a good idea.

And if you read any of my other threads you would realize that I mentioned that I understood the reasoning behind leaving registration open to anyone. It is a good idea that we get traffic in to this website. I also mentioned what a good job Fonz is doing with the website.

What I was mentioning, as well as others, is a voice of frustration over several problems with Full Tilt. Not with the way he is maintaining the website.

Other freerolls this site hosts don't have near the problems that Full Tilt has.

Also, you seem to want to put words in my mouth yet again. I not once mentioned that Fonz had control of what cards were dealt to others.

As far as controling the players that play. That will be taken care of when he has the time to implement restrictions and does something to stem the abuse of the password system which others have mentioned as well. Things he has already mentioned are in the works.

As far as having a flaw in my game. There are many. But, and others have mentioned this as well, when you constantly have your best hands beat and I do mean constantly there is more going on than just a flaw in your game. As you said in another thread, an occasional bad beat is to be expected. It is the nature of the game.

That again is why I believe many forums were set up. To limit the trash players that are playing so we as players can work on playing solid poker instead of worrying about our AQ suited in the hole when a flop is Q4Q being beat by the guy that called a strong preflop and I do mean strong with Q4 in the hole.

This is to prevent these tourneys from being no more than lotteries.

I look forward to the new changes and I am am sure I speak for a lot of other people in saying thanks for makling this website and THF. I am getting valuable info from both. And good info always helps my game and makes me more money.

Hey PMK... Don't worry, when the changes are made you won't see idiots play on the freerolls plus a password/post system will be in effect I think so that should get rid of some of the sitouts and idiots, just deal with it for now. 1pm, knocked out with a 38 off. 3pm, Me and this other cat were the only ones in the room and he kept on going all-in. I got him twice then beat me on a river ace.... whatever. Just deal for the next month...
