  Yeah, you could use it to fund multiple tourneys instead of just a one-shot chance. And since tourney returns are all about volume, use it as such is my recommendation

   Yeah, you could play a bunch of Double Deuces on FTP with that.

  Personally, I'd look on it as a chance to try something above my level and hope for the best. It's not cost anything to get your shot at something much bigger. You never know 'til you try.
  
  Of course, I'm just a gambler, the sensible thing is probably to take the money, but, you never achieve anything without a risk or two.

  When I made my first deposit 7 years ago, I put $50 on Stars. I was down to my last $11 and won a ticket to the $215 Sunday tourney. I cashed it out and continued playing smaller games and gained lots of experience and haven't ever had to deposit again!
  
  Take the long road and you'll be a better player for it I think.

  How big is that field usually?? I personally would parse that money up and grind it out in other ways. I'd rather hit for average, than always swing for the seats (my baseball metaphor of the day)
  
  But that's just me -- good luck if you try -- lets us know

  The advice to unregister and use the Tounament dollars for smaller buy in events is probably the best idea. But here's what I have done in the past when I've won a seat. I wait until just before the tourney starts and evaluate how I feel. If I feel very alert and am hungry to play some poker, i play it. But if I just feel a little off, maybe a little tired, maybe don't think I can play a marathon or just have any doubts at all, I unregister and bank the T dollars.

  thanks for everyone's advice.i thought about it alot and i got to go for it.i mean if i don't run good i'm really only out $11.Usually about 7 thousand people.not much more than my normal feild.My game is really on and a chance at a huge score is something i can't let go.

  Sounds like a sensible suggestion Mike.
