great job ! it's not a bad thing to play with play chips and sell them ... i have a friend who only play with play chips and sell them ... it's not his intention to play poker for real money but just to play poker for the fun and make small profit once and a while .

yes WD, dont know much about playchips but I know how hard it is to get from that to 250, so let us in in your secret, was it cash or tourney wins,,ok, had a quick peep being doing well on the DONs, well done,, you will have to keep us informed that ROI will be hard to maintain, if you do send us a postcard from vegas

I never laghed at you for the play $ thing but I am laughing at the idea that you increased your bankroll 45 fold in 2 days and are going to risk half of it on a $120 tourny that has upwards of 20 thousand people in it......good luck to you and let us know what place you come in.....also, learn how to manage your bankroll......

hmm, 4,50$ for 1 million chips ? I think at Stars you got a little more money for that.... Hmm... But well how long does that take? I guess even playing freerolls would bring it faster.
I have to recognize that at first, I also laughed about this topic. In fact, I had more than 2M of chips in pokerstars and I wasted all of them in a Sit'n'Go If I had known that they have such value, I would have sold them!!

come on loader I see you have taking a downswing , I like to push now and then but you were in a great position, dont blowup, u still have a roll to play with at the right levels, dont blow up and hit the rail
as far as I understand they can be used to buy into certain tournaments and obviously sold, as he says above he took that 4.50$ and built a great roll, but on my last look on scope he was on tilt and down to 85$ so I only hope he has started using som BRM be a shame to get the luck to get up so high from such a small start and then bust out,,,in fact he got up to over 400$, now,hmmmm, think hes bust,,hope not

This is one of the sad stories of poker. If you were able to transform 4.5 into 250$ then you must be doing something good, unfortunately you're willing to risk half of your br to take a shot. Goodluck, it's the only thing which can save you!

you sure did great reaching over 250$ but u must have gambled a lot reaching there from just 4.5$ . i dont think your luck will last long and you will be back to where you started sooner or later unless u follow bankroll management.
If I had known that they have such value, I would have sold them!!
