Freerolls (volume 2)

First freeroll I’ve entered was $500. It had gathered more than 1000 pretenders. So the task was very tough. Anyway I hadn’t felt nervous. I had no need to pay for the participation. I was just playing poker when I got a message the I’m eligible to take part in freeroll. I hadn’t risked my money but I could win it. I had finished 180th… Now I could say that I was too lucky to stay so long. But that time I considered my pride hurt. I thought I could win at least anything. I was complaining on bad beats and poker algorithm that couldn’t deal better cards to me. 

So I decided to revenge in the next tournament… :)  Next 3 freerolls including 3k I finished somewhat like 600th-800th… 

But soon I’ve won my first freeroll money. That was 3k. And from the very beginning I faced difficulties. I was playing tight, very tight. But seems the dealer decided to offense me. He has given me good cards only twice. First time I’ve won a lot of chips with my all in and two guys called me. Second I’ve lost most of my chips calling someone’s all in with worse hand. Most other hands I’ve folded on preflop. No more river at least… 

But the God decided to make a little joke that day. The pokerroom had upgraded their tournament software a day before and that was the first freeroll with the newest version of client. And software developers had made some strange mistakes. So in the first hour of the game our table had pended for some reasons. We couldn’t play any hand. We were joking, telling anecdotes chatting but not playing poker. Just 2 or 3 tables among of 30 had this problem. And as we couldn’t play we nobody had lost. As a result the software couldn’t rearranged our table. We’ve waited till the break that was in 90 minutes. After the break the tables were rearranged but this hadn’t solved the problem. In just 15 minutes it appeared at most the tables of the tourney. As a result organizers have closed the tourney and have paid all the participants left. As there were about 240 participants and they paid me about $10 I think that they decided to pay according to the number of chips earned. 

Anyway thanks God and poker.com. I started my freeroll earnings. (*_*)
