Hey, it ain't much, but just won the AP $1000 freeroll.

Paid $100 for 1st.

I do tourneys rarely, and this is my first win with
over 100 entries. (2000 signed up)

woot!

No, about $16.00 HR, just over 6 hours.
Thanks for the thought.

Would have been thrilling at $2.50/hr tho, today
was my "blow it off" day. Any profit is good.

Ignore him. Any time I get to the final table I am happy, even if the prize only is a satellite entry. And getting knocked out of a MTT happens so often that you should be allowed to be happy when you aren't.

Thanks. And congrats on your 2nd.

lol, you guys are sensitive. This was purely a comment on Absolute's horrible freeroll structure and nothing else.

It's a freeroll... ok let's review my favorite site (I'm serious)Pokerstars.

Freeroll lasting 6.25 hours... prize...entry into another freeroll that's value is probably around $1.25 (and that just increased).

Money won for having fun: $100

Final table tournament experience: Priceless

Congrats!

I won a 887 player Empire $500 turbo freeroll a couple nights ago for $110 in 89 minutes at a sweet $74 an hour. I play mostly limit holdem so its a fun way to get NL and tourney experience.

Congrats on the win! The freeroll win felt FAR better than the 50BB's I won playing 5/10 that night.

Congrats! The first of many!

Thank you,
