the freeroll challenge day 1

the freeroll challenge - day 1

I have never really played freeroll tournaments.
When i started playing poker 8 years ago, i started with real money
and the only freerolls i have played have been private events,
first deposit welcome freerolls and freerolls from loyaly reward
programs.
I though it was going to be easy to find a freeroll because of
the freeroll scheme i have added in the forum,
but i quickly found out that it is not up to date at all,
so i will get a new one up and running and get all the sites updated
very soon.

I found a 250$ freeroll at mansion poker with 1075 players entered.
As i had expected it was redicilous action packed with players
moving all in all the time. After 15 min i look a my first desent
hand, pocket 10´s. The pot has been raised to 100 with 1 caller
and i make it 400. The raiser moves the rest of hes chips,
a few hundred and and the 2nd caller, calls that. Hes sitting with 5000
 and i have 900 left that i go all in with. Unfortunately
one shows q-q  and the other shows j-j and a jack on the flop seals
the deal, but not in my favor and im out.

Since its my first day of playing i decide to give some more freerolls
a go while playing some low limit cash at pkr, so i sign
up for the 100$ freeroll at partypoker with 6203
players in it. i look at a few other sites and find that pokerroyal
has a 200$ freeroll with maximum 1600 players and register for
that one too and 1473 register for that one. The one at party poker
is a fixed limit tournament.
In the party poker tour i finished 2019 when i had 9-9 and the flop
comes 10-j-q and on the turn comes a king giving me the straight.
Im all in at this point and loose to the top straight.
On pokerroyal i had build an ok stack but loose half on a coinflip
with q-a against 9-9. A few hands later I pick up 8-8 under the gun.
The blinds are 300-150 and i have 2000 left so i push it all in and
get called by a-k, unfortunately a king comes on the turn and im gone.

Last shot today is also at party poker in the 150$ nordic freeroll with
849 players. Its a speed tournament and when i look at a-k under
the gun with blinds 200-100 i call it possitive that someone will raise.
Well the next player raises to 800,then a call and then an all in and
as its getting late i take my chance and gamble on this hand and call.
The 2 other playes also calls and the hands are 6-q, 9-9 and 10-10
so not the worst spot to be in. I hit nada and the q-6 wins with 2 pair.

4 tournaments and not in the money in anyone of them. Not the best
start but hopefully i will do better tomorrow.
