    I put in a decent amount of volume, so I pretty much always get a ticket for freerolls and such that are based off of volume?

    I see alot of replies to satellite threads that say "will this mess with my rakeback" and usually the answer is "yes"

    can someone explain this to me?

    If you're referring to Full Tilt, the way it works is that any freeroll you play with cash prizes is divided up among players. So for instance, if there are 100 players and $1,000 worth of prizes, than $10 is charged against each player's MGR. If you're getting 27% rakeback, your rakeback would thereby be deducted $2.70.

    In my opinion, people who don't play these because of the rakeback hit aren't really being very smart, considering they're still getting a 73% discount on whatever the value is of that event...
