Absolutely agree with you there, Rob. Even about the sh*te part
I am not actively participating as a poster in this forum, only working quietly (extremely) in the background as silent mod. I think that if people concentrating on freerolls would give it some more thought, they would definitely find out that depositing even a small amount to play the odd added tournament would pay off nicely in the long run. Especially with the offers by PokerForFree that don't call for big amounts anyway and give you a lot of value for very little money (if at all).
Unfortunately people who play freerolls exclusively tend to overlook that fact as well as possible restrictions and rules for certain promotions and simply like to think that all should be given to them for free. Don't get me wrong, I, too, enjoy freerolls every now and then but I never expect anyone to provide them at any given time, I simply like stumbling across them. And there is nothing wrong with freerollers per se as long as they understand the terms and conditions and the reasoning behind freerolls.
Better luck next time btw.
