    Anyone ever enter a MTT with points and win 4 figures plus?

    I won the DFG (well we chopped HU) from points. My account balance was almost busto, and I used all my points to grind the SQM satties, and won a bunch of entries which in turn I used to play the DFG. It always seems like I get my biggest scores when my account is almost busto. Doesn't seem like I focus more, but maybe I subconsciously do.

    Did the same as louiemdj, and grinded the SQM sattelites the other day. Played a few small tournaments with the $33 in tournament dollars, and won a 4.40 Omaha hi/lo for about $250, realized I was an Omaha8 master and sat down at a 5/10 limit table with my winnings when i was drunk and lost it all :D. Fortunately you seem to accummulate a ton of FPP's at those limits and I started all over again with the SQM sattelites. Final tabled another 4.40 tournament for $150 and am back up to around $250. Hopefully I have learned my lesson, and I won't have to resort to FPP's for a while.

    A couple fridays ago I cashed out my account and was going to take a week off from playing. Well I had 2600 points and I entered a $22 6 max jus for one last game before my break.....well I ended up shipping it for $1032 and never got around to that break, instead I've turned it into couple grand thru 45 man sngs and small mgr buyins and few hu games.......I have biggest roll online I've ever had cause I usually score and cash most out and leave 100 and micro grind again.......but first time I actually cashed ALL money this happens......now I have a good roll to comfortably play more $6-20 tournys at higher volumes and really make a go at it........all off a freeroll score.....(having a day job.w comfortable pay helps me not have to worry about swings and stay within br guidelines cause I don't play for rent or mortgage, lol) that's my piece folks.....good luck at tables

    Haven't posted, really, ever, so thought I'd add my couple cents in.... post-BF, (Saturday), I had points on AP that they allowed me to convert before they (cancelled it out), I usually used them to buy in other events or store purchases, but, with no availability to play elsewhere, converted what it would allow since the account I had was busto after cashout(thankfully snuck one last one in)... Well, anyway, I could only convert $5.38 cents worth, so, went to PLO....got it up roughly to about $60, got in the $27.5 miniUBOC, won that w/ a chop HU for roughly $2,800, won some stuff here and there, then, had been running decent @ 2/4 PLO (HU more so than any other ring game), ran it up to ~15k that I roughly have there now...

    Now for the feds to shape up!
