The "TRUE" free roll is a dying breed!!! Over the last year I watch them start to dry up all over the place!!! Nowadays what is being offered as Free rolls can make it hard to justify the time & effort (except the IPoker VIP $5 & 10,000), unless you count it towards experience.
Now experience is priceless!!! Now I won't play a winner take all Free roll (ie: FTP's DVD final table...wtf would anyone spend hrs playin for that...but, 2000+ players in nearly everyone!!) but I do play in a lot of them to help rebuild BR's on many sites (I think this is 1 reason that PP hit me with that service charge, because after my initial deposit I managed to get it all back + a few hundred & was able through both pts & the Canadian FR's rebuild & withdraw a couple of more times....
)...
Now I don't play anymore @PS, but if they have 5000 chasin' less than $1000, I'm not sure I'd play, unless I was multi-site FRollin', then I could have it up with a couple of others to make worth while to try...
