Won the Ultimate Bet 5000 point tourney Monday night

So now I have 900 Ultimate Points. Yay me for taking first!

But these "Points" - I have a few questions about them:

1. I'm thinking of spending them entering dollar tourneys - is there a better use for them?
2. Is there a time limit to use these, or do they last forever?
3. Should I just spend them willy-nilly, or do I want to save them up? Is there a benefit to having a lot of Points vs a few Points?

Thanks in advance!

congrats

they do last forever

is that like 9 bucks?...try to spread the love over several tourneys. GL may the points come rollin in!

yeah def use em for dollar tourney's great way to make some money free.
congrats on the win. usaully 5k player's well done

Thanks for the advice!
I tried the 5k 1$ buy-in last night. Took 30th, so I'm $25 richer. Spent 300 points doing it though - re-buys and all that.

congrats on the winning's so how did u do it? Did u play ultra loose, or very tight?

Super tight, probably to a fault. More than once I was in danger of going under to the blinds late-game.
I only play AA, KK, QQ, JJ, 1010 or a combo thereof. For the first hour of the tourney, I only call the blind before the flop unless I have a pair jacks or higher. If I absolutely have the best hand after the flop, I'll start betting, otherwise I fold.
I avoid pre-flop all-in like the plague - people are freaking crazy in these things. You can go all-in with aces and have 5 people join you with rags.

What finished me last night: I had AK, and went all in to buy the blinds + 1 caller. Blinds were 40k, I had 250k, it seemed like a safe buy late-game. both blinds folded, Caller had pocket 4's and correctly decided to go for it. That's all she wrote.
