Just noticed today that PokerStars has fired back at FullTiltPoker and their new Round 1 Freerolls by reducing the maximum field sizes in their own Weekly Round 2 Qualifiers to 5,000 from previous caps of 8,000 or 9,000. [For some reason, the Cassini Stud Freeroll I looked at still seemed to have a cap of 8K -- maybe an oversight.] The number of tickets awarded in each freeroll remains the same as under the higher field caps. . .
This effectively improves your odds of being able to grab a ticket for the Weekly Round 2 Freeroll. The Weekly Round 2 Freerolls retains its prize pools of $2,000. Let's see how FTP responds to this volley by PS. . .

Sounds good to me
i have too say the 10k rnd 1 and up to 20k rd is just not worth the trouble on FT
might have a look at stars - definetely sounds like better odds
thx for the heads up on this
haven't played on stars for a while

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]It is somewhat tougher to get the ticket to Round 2 on PokerStars -- 48, 64 or 72 [depending on the game] out of 5K vs. 250 out of 10K -- but odds to get some cash are much better when you do as the PS prize pool is larger and they basically pay out to tune of 1-out-of-8 as opposed to a flat 90 players. . .[/FONT]

I like the smaller fields, but you need to sign up for the NL fast.

Yes, the NL event is the best for time as in about 3 hours or so you'll know if you got your ticket.
The other events take longer and don't have many as places paid (tickets).

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"]Looks like PokerStars has gone back to their old fields sizes -- maximum of 1000 tables per freeroll. Oh well, it was an advantage while it lasted. . . :crying[/FONT]
