Sort of. By unregistering from an event, you get tournament dollars on PokerStars, otherwise known as T$. You can only spend it on buying into tournaments or sit-and-goes, and you can't withdraw it or play with it in cash games. There's also a guy called cashmanbrian who has made a business of buying T$ from players. I like the idea of playing sats just for T$, because it has the same value relative to real money and always does my bankroll a great justice.

Congrats on winning that seat, glad to have you aboard, Gomez!
