Default T$, w$ question

looking at the selling T$, W$ thread i read what W$ are. and T$ are tournament dollars it says.

so:
if i win a wsop seat on stars and want the money they will give me W$(correct?)
if i win an entry into a regular tourney i can get T$ instead(correct?)

it says W$ are worth 85-90% value. so im asuming T$ are worth the same?

my confusion is coming from the fact that they seem to be used for the same thing and yet in the thread people say "im looking for T$" or they say im looking for W$". why would you differentiate as a buyer?

sorry for the ignorance im new to stars. if there is a link explaining the difference id appreciate it.

T$ can be used for any tournament(SNGs included)
W$ can only be used for EPT or tournaments that start with a W(WSOP, WPT, WCOOP etc.)

T$ are basicly worth their value in money, W$ are worth about 90%

T$ are worth more as you can enter anything with them. W$ are resricted, T$ are not.

Just checking, you can use T$ to enter W$ events too?

But if you have T$ and want to enter a $W event you would do much better if you sell $T @97% and buy $W at 90% or so.

Yea, a general rule is that entering any W$-eligible event with T$ or cash is either a) really stupid or b) kinda balla, at least to people in BBV.

Of course. Was curious about the process, not implying that I would do a balla spew.

Hilarious that the rake-free WSEXer location would respond though.
