I'm not a winning player -- yet. I'm getting better since I've been reading these forums, but I've got a way to go.
I've been playing on a short bankroll which comes out of my entertainment budget. When I bust out then I can replenish it but not more than once a month.
Anyway, the point of this post is that after I busted my bankroll I realized I had about accumulated about 250 "Ultimate Points" at UltimateBet. Well it turns out that the Points for Points games and Sit-N-Go's are much softer than the cash games... In one weekend I've built that 250 points up to nearly 2,000 points.
AND you can use points to buy into cash tournaments... 750 points gets you into the $3 TEC tournament (which I'm not doing because it's all-or-nothing, you take 1st or you lose) and 1200+100 points buys you into the $5+.50 tournaments. Or you can just use the points to buy stuff from the website.
So until my next cash buy-in, I'm having a blast building a "bankroll" of points at UB.
