Ok please tell me I am not the only one that cant get even a chance to play in the face the ace 180 freeroll? I mean WOW that thing fills up before I can blink an eye, how in the world does anyone get in those things?!? You would think that full tilt would make the 360 one pay off 1st & 2nd but not the case it only pays 1st what is that! Why pay more for less people😟 Any other tournament and I mean ANY other tournament the more people in the tournament the more places it pays. Am I right here or is it just me?

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]The "360" FTA qualifer is aimed at the .NET players -- that is non-real money accounts. That's why only the winner moves on. The "180" is for the depositors and real-money players. Therefore they get it a little "easier" to move on.

Either way, getting into a game at all is pretty much a crapshoot since everyone is waiting for the button to pop up and whether you get in or not depends not just on your reflexes, but, possibly, how long it takes the server messages to get from them to you. Keep trying and g'luck gettining in.

I haven't really considered them much worth the effort both for the effort needed to get in and then for the ridiculousness of the level of play once you are. . .[/FONT]

I used to play FACE THE ACE all the time before I started gaining a BR. I love that tournament because it's only 180, so if you survive or manage to double up in the first 20 minutes, you are bound to have a good fight to the end b/c the donks get tired quick. =)

I love getting into like 4 or 5 and just playing them down. It's fun considering that you are playing for the chance to be on TV! =) They fill up instantly so you better have your eyes on that area where it registers.

I haven't played them recently, but I am waiting to get 100FTP points so that I can just buy-into the second round. Good luck to all that participate in the FACE THE ACE challenges!

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]Reacting to the button's appearance will VERY rarely get you in. Seems like you have to be able to KNOW when it's about to pop up and get there before it does. . . :confused:

I have noticed that all free rolls and tournaments OPEN registration not on the 00:00 mark, but on the 00:55...for sure.

If you have a countdown from another FTP tournament that is counting down, you will be able to time exactly when FACE THE ACE 180 players registers...right on the ??:55 second. Hope this helps for you!
:thumbsup

I have seen you in some tournaments! Good luck to ya and I hope to see you again....so I can holla...:dirol

I can get in you just have to be fast. I haven't been close to winning it yet. I do though like their nightly 250 US Freeroll which I have placed twice in (top 90) and made a few dollars lol.

If you pull your clock up and watch the seconds, they go every 3min and 3secs. click repetitivly on the registration spot you should be able to get in unless theres 100k ppl on

When I've wanted to get into them, I just pull up the lobby for the next sng and wait for it to start registering and haven't had much of a problem... but I usually don't want to play in the Round 1s even though I've won a couple of them. Now, if you had to win them to get into the round 2 games, I'd consider playing them. However, even the Round 2 games aren't that great... too many players, not enough advance... and certainly not enough return on your time invested... unless you're lucky enough to win all three rounds.

You have to wait minutes until the registering thing comes up...then you gotta click so fast. I havent played these in awhile but usually if i won i would take the 100 ftps instead of the round 2 tourney where its not likely to move to round 3

Yeah, this tournament we can say that is easier than others cause the players go all in all the time pre flop, so if you wait and win some chips you go to final table easy.. I already won 4 face the ace but the level 2 I never won but I will get there 😉

I have played it a couple of times, but never did any good in them. I gave up playing freerolls like that. I just dont have the patience for it anymore. I use to do the same thing, sit there and wait for the register button to pop-up. That was more of a waste of time then it was worth. But everyone is different and may find these enjoyable.

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]They are filling up faster than they used to. I tried one of the $100 ones; clicked as soon as it showed and was still put on the waiting list. . . :crying Did get in shortly after, but there are too many players on FTP and too few spots in the popular game freerolls. . .[/FONT]

It does fill up pretty quick but you just have to quick about it and then if you do get in everybody goes all in on the first hand.I've won several round ones myself.
