FREE-ROLLS AND FISHERMEN

After today i will never play a regulation freeroll again, to be fair i only play them if i'm bored and theres nothing much happening regarding other tournaments on site, my bug bare is even though its a free roll i still try and play properly as lets face it a free £13.50 for 25pts or £25.00 for 50pts it better than a poke in the eye, unfortunately very few have this attitude and will call anything with any two cards, 3 times in 4 hands today i had a big hand pre flop or after the flop and everytime i was called by people with total junk they are coming into raised pots out of position with 9 3 - Q 5 - and 7 4 twice they hit 2 pair by the river and once they hit 4 suited runners for a flush, i just wish sky would have a game of bingo or a free roll of roulette for these people, even though its free the skill level is taken away and blind luck will always win because i would guess at least 75% are just gambling and not bothered about playing, or is it just the fact with rebuys and add ons sky dont care because they are making a few quid

    Agree with the others, I often have a healthy 10k early on in these by taking advantage of poor players

    Just to correct you, Sky don't make any money from a freeroll, the rebuys reduce the £50 or £100 they have guaranteed, they never exceed the guarantee and if they did the extra would be paid to the winning players, there is no rake so the only profit Sky take is the points entry which has no cash value.
