Hard to be upset or complain about anything that is 'free'. I miss those $200 FR's also, but sites do change promotions from time to time. We all suffer resistance to change...
I did hear that the 'invites' were going to new members. Likely a promotion by marketing to encourage more cash deposits. Same with the Negreanu FR's. You can even play them from the .net site, but if you should cash, guess what? You need to convert to the cash .com site to use it. Can you say - Marketing ploy??
Most sites make periodical changes. Even the $200 FR's started out with a 15% payout structure (ITM at 1080 of 8,000). After a while, that was lowered to about 5.5% (ITM at 468 of 8,000). If you recall, there was a time earlier yet that U.S. players were not even offered ANY cash FR's other than the tickets to Round 2 weekly events.
U.S. players are a huge market. They can't leave us out for long.

Sure do miss party poker, I just don't get it, party poker used to give away 16 seats per day for the wsop, 1000 dollar free rolls left and right, now poker stars being the biggest poker site on the net they sure are skimpy as hell, for a site that large I'm sure a $200 free roll is not going to break the bank. A site that large should be having at least a $500 dollar free roll, just plain greedy as hell.

I noticed that I do not see any of the $200 free rolls, but there is a USA invitational for $500, but it says you need a ticket, does anyone know how to go about getting this ticket?
I have looked on the website and cannot find any information on it. Thanks.
