UB Tournament Dollars

Hey all cool site. I have been looking for a good poker message board to share thoughts on with cool cats!


I am fairly new to poker and genrally play strictly at UB. Last night I won a Touranment Dollar freeroll and won 9 bucks.

I havnt been able to find much info on how tournament doallrs are used or structured. Today I played a sit n go tourny that entry was .40 + .02. When I look at my accound my tournament dollars went down to 8

Wondering why they took a whole dollar? Anyone know?


Also wondering if anyone could point me to a thread that might deal with how the best way to play with tourny dollars is. Should I be looking to play certain types of tournys to maximize the tourny dollars.


Edit: Also being a newbie I am kinda looking for a sort of mentor. There seems to be alot more to playing online poker than meets the eye. Things like how do you start ranking and in general what is the best way to maximize your playing.

I havent played with real money yet but have set myself at a 50 dollar per week budget.

Tournament Dollars are used like real money when entering a tournament either MTT's or Sng's..but can only be used for a buyin for said tournaments...not ring games or other than..
maximizing tournament dollars depends on your experience....So you have 9TB's....give you 9 $1 sngs or MTTs...well maybe 7 if adding the sites cost.
