It is a freeroll and it provides people with a way to start their bankroll. I wish it was cash so I can put it towards a ring game or another tournament of my choose. I have won a couple of the $109.00 coupons. Haven't used them yet, waiting for that right moment.

We can all complain about people who go in with unconforming cards, and I am not one of them trust me on that. However no one complains when they lose and you win the pot.

I have watched Professionals ,MANY times go in with odd sets like 2-5 and play the hand, sometimes losing sometimes winning. I have personally sat in live games and players go in with a 4-5 offsuit and hit on the flop, etc.

People are too quick to be critical of another players ways of playing, if they are so good maybe they should write a book on the right and wrong way to play.

Until they pass a law on what cards, one can or cannot go into a game with the chance is always there.

And no my Nick does not have anything to do with the "old ladies game "

Thank you

I've played it a few times. Too many players for too few places paid. Especially when they're only giving away tickets to other games. They can give those away like candy. They're literally free to Carbon to do it. In all likelihood, we'll just give the money back in the end. And if we do run up a roll, then we're paying rake for them. I've cashed a few times in them, but it's not usually worth it.

You make it 2 hours in the tournament, you are in the prizes. You get a $5.00 ticket, play in a $5.00 sng with 6 people(1.5 hours top) win and get $21.00 or 2nd place for 9.00. These tournaments are good for people who need to start their bankrolls. Take that 9.00 or 21.00 and play in the Double-up or nothing tournaments. When my bankroll gets low, I play in those Double-up tournaments(10 person sng/5 places being paid). Pay $5.00 to get in, 45 minutes later win $10.00 by just out lasted half the table. 600 players in a twitter freeroll is awesome compared to freeroll tournaments at fulltilt and pokerstars where there are 1,000+ players. Like the Fulltilt $250.00 freeroll every night for US players, it has 7,500 players.

Really can't agree with you... at least the FullTilt tournaments pay out in tangible value. Not that I play the FullTilt tournaments you're talking about. The Carbon freeroll is only paying out in tickets, least they could do is pay 5% of the field. There are forums out there just like this giving away money in free rolls and paying out a fair percentage of the players. The best ones I've found are on the Cake network and on Full Tilt.

The point is... when you look at it by percentage, the $250 freeroll you're bashing... pays out only slightly less players by percentage (1.6% for the twitter freeroll vs 1% for the US Freeroll on FTP)... but at least it's cash value you can use however you like. The number of players rarely should be a concern, since in freerolls you'll be dealing with extremely soft players if they even bother to show up.

If a tournament isn't paying 5% of the players, I don't bother with it, no matter what situation my bankroll is in. It's just not worth the time you have to invest compared to the odds of winning a prize.

You're much better off trying to turn play chips into money, which you can do on Carbon through the Fun Steps SNGs.

You can't get something great for free. It's a freeroll so some thing for sure :
- crap money
- long play
- many donks
But as i said... won't get good for free.

1% payout in the twitter tournament? How do you figure that? 600 players divided by 40 places paid is alot more then 1%. Yeah it sucks that it is tickets, but so is the funsteps 1 & 2 that you were speaking of. In those, you play fun step 1 for 30 minutes, fun step 2 for 45 minutes, fun step 3 for a hour, and if you are lucky and win you get a dollar. 2 hours and 15 minutes for $1.00. Play for 3 hours at the twitter tournament and get $109.00 ticket to the $50,000.00. I do agree that switching play chips into money on the fun steps is nice. I have never built a bankroll off the fun steps. My bankroll gets built from the freerolls. My wife will be playing in the $50,000.00 tournament this sunday thanks to the freerolls. Oh yeah, half the 600 field in the twitter tournament is not even playing, so you only half to get through 300 players.

I guess every man's thinking is different then the next.

I do play in the freerolls at fulltilt, but when I see thousands and thousands of players registery for the same tournament, it does get kind of discouraging.

You might want to check your eyes. I don't know where you got 600 from. Over 800 played in this tournament... and the cap is more-than three times that. Also, don't forget that even if you win it... what you win has zero value. You have to factor placing in the next tournament into the odds... which makes it much-less than 1%, even if half the field sits out as you're hoping.

Yeah, even if I had one, i wouldn't put it next to my name to be sure. I don't think I'm going to say why though... I'll leave that for you to figure out on your own.
