I am a bit curious as I can't find the difference between the two on the website. I only play Real Money Sit-N-Gos and each time i enter there is an option for Real Money or Tournament Money and then on Cashier it says "Convert to Tournament Dollars"....

what exactly is the difference? Benefits?

Hey,

Tournament Dollars can be earned in some tournaments who award them. They can be used to enter in to tournaments with real money buyin, instead you pay it with tournament dollars. You can also convert the tournament dollars to real dollars (they charge a fee of i think 3-5% ?)

If you have won your seat in a tourney via satelittle with cash, if you unregister from that tourney to keep the $$ instead, you are reimbursed in T$. They can be used to enter any tourney or SNG, so if you have some, use them b/4 cash.
I believe the conversion vig is 5% and, imo, should only be used if you need to cash out or if you never plan in playing anymore tourneys.
