Playing a DYM once you have cashed

How do you play the end of a DYM tourney once you have cashed? I know some like to just shove all in each hand until someone wins as they have achieved their goal (i.e. cashing) but I prefer to play on to win even though I dont get any more money but some players seem to get quite annoyed when you do this.

How do you play it? I have on intention of changing how I play but curious to see what the majority of people prefer to do.

    As only a small amount of points are awarded i would push all in basically to get into another game. However i do not get annoyed because i fully understand that people do want to actually win tournemants whether it be for confidence or just self stats.

    Personally i go allin but they are your chips and you can do what u like with them, if you want to go for the win then dont be put off because some ppl get wound up.

    Personally i go for the win aswell because although its not many more points every point counts plus your stats will look better aswell say if you go as a phone in guest your stats will look better and players will give you a bit more respect if your stats are reasonably good and this is also a chance to get the tourney wins because most ppl push with any 2 so if you pick up a premium hand you can win the tournament without much effort i wouldnt change your game its your money and you play the way you choose dont let others change your way of playing!!!!!! good luck at the tables

    If i'm chasing the league points i'd always wait untill heads-up before I start shipping it every hand. The difference between 3rd and 2nd in terms of league points is much bigger than the difference between 2nd and 1st, so I don't care whether I end up winning it, I just want to get HU for the points.

    But that's only if I'm making a conscious effort to win points to get into the weekly freeroll, but as I am rarely available to play it I just ship it on every hand.
