qualified for a $5K freeroll & missed it!

[Poker Orifice]

Here's a badbeat for ya (although not really all that 'bad'). I received an email from 888Poker this week, informing me that because their site had some connection issues last week, they were holding a $5,000 freeroll & I received an invite (because apparently the issue might've affected me while I was playing on the site). Kinda weird because I can't recall being logged onto their site & experiencing a disconnect problem on their site last week? (in other words - doubt I was even on their site at the time).
So I marked it down on my calendar, not one to want to miss out on a 'freebie'.
THis afternoon I suddenly recall, "Oh yah... that $5,000freeroll! What time was it at?" I log onto the site & find it's already 2nd break, lol. Winner won an ipad too.

Oh well.

That sucks. I have missed a few also. I always forget when a tourney is scheduled a few days later. Oh well, you really think you would have won? That's like playing the lotto. 1st place is hard to get. I am happy to make final table. Don't miss the next one. Peace.

Seeing as how i am a social butterfly and all i am a member of quiet a few forums and several times they were having some nice private games for birthdays or what have you and of course i remembered them after they were done. But let it be a simple $10 added private game with 11 people in it and i wouldn't miss it for nothing, in fact it would be like a neon sign in my head,lol

That sucks. I have missed a few also. I always forget when a tourney is scheduled a few days later.< I actually never forget them (errr.. 'almost' never). I keep a poker calendar for all special events (ie. tournament qualified for from rakeback or some promo or a priv. tourney or whatever). Oh well, you really think you would have won? That's like playing the lotto. 1st place is hard to get. I am happy to make final table. Don't miss the next one. Peace.

Do I think I would've won it? Who knows. Pretty sure I would've had a better chance to win it if I actually played it though, lol. (I did take a 3rd last week in a special $1K freeroll for $135 so ya never know). This particular one I missed.. yup it was a lottery but pretty sure I won't need to be concerned about missing the next one... because it was a one shot deal.

I also got an e-mail from them regarding the same tourney. I haven't opened an account there but was playing a fun-money tourney (to check out the site) when I got disconnected, so I thought that was the reason for the e-mail.

Entered the tourney but got knocked out by a donk - LOL
