Virgin V Roll RH Freeroll

[RandR]

[quote=AvonGirl;853613]That'd be the other 40 PL'ers who regularly played the Sunday game and haven't yet responded to this thread then.

Yes, but that is the point. There's no reason why Virgin should extend any freebies to players who only play in this tournament, as they contribute nothing to the site.

Not criticising freeroll-chasers, as I've done it myself in the past, but if I had Joe's job, I'd do the same thing.

IMO the easiest way to qualify is to play limit, and do a few rounds on 1/2 or 0.5/1.

No, I don't blame Virgin, and to be fair, I've got far more from the site than I've ever deposited anyway so I guess I can try my hand again on the cash when I feel like having a go at the 'freeroll'. Only played really small stakes before though and then found they didn't count for raked hands (on another site) so will have to make sure what level I need to play at.

helen i think raked hands on any boss site can be gained at 5/10 cents tables

Helen, give the 5c/10c tables a try, really is an aweful standard of play

You wont be disappointed, and 25 raked hands should take around 40 mins......

ill post up a hand ive just had in a minute, a dream i tell ya lol

[GotaFancy?]

I've just been playing 25c/50c 5 seater tables, anbd the play really is shocking ...... time after time I raised on the button, then put in a continuation bet post flop and everyone folded.....

[AvonGirl]

Cheers guys, will give the 5/10 a look.

Karl, just noticed you've been on PL over a year now and I can't believe you've still not got a 1000 posts. Have they disallowed some.

This offer by Virgin is another great one... sadly can't play Thursdays at oresent so probably won't be playing these. Real shame as have enjoyed the Sunday Virgin V-point, even though it's a tough one to get to the final table.

I assume the RH freerolls are only on Thursdays? Couldn't really tell from the promotion or the site but it could just be me! Good luck with these guys!

P.S. Nice hand Morls...

Look at post 3 mate Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays

[Hedonist]

Have registered for this tonight but now see that the final is at the same time on Sunday as the festival final.

Shame that they could not have had them a couple of hours apart.

Just noticed that the final is on the 26th August and not this week.

A raked hand is counted in any cash/ring game when:
1) You have contributed to the pot AND
2) You are still in the pot once the flop is dealt AND
3) The pot exceeds 19c

This is this same across pretty much every poker room. Rake is not taken from a hand if it is over pre-flop, nor if it for less than 19c.

On Boss there is the possibility to exlude certain low stakes tables from contributed towards such promos or bonuses but in the case of the V*Roll all tables count.

If that's too complicated just look at the top middle/left of the screen under where it says 'Tables / Lobby /1 /2' When a figure appears there it's telling you that a pot has been raked and how much has been taken (that's how we make our money but keep it secret !).

Nope, all are raked hand qualifiers for this month at least so Tuesday and Sunday V*Roll give you same chance of extra points plus qualification to monthly final.

Just read post about monthly final clashing with Festival - noted and will change from next month onwards.

GAF mailed me yesterday to say that it would help if registration opened earlier so you can see your raked hands. From Sunday onwards registration will open 48 hours in advance to help with this.

[goater14]

Probaly a stupid question but is their anyway of knowing how many raked hands I have played? Dont normally play cash games but had a dabble last night with not to good results I must add!
