Best use of Stars FPPs for cash game players

Hi everyone,

I play probably 95% cash games on Stars and was just wondering what other cash game players there think is the best use of their FPPs. I mean you can't really use them to buy into cash games (unfortunately), so aside from purchasing stuff from Stars, what do you think is the best use of your FPPs. Specifically, which tournaments do you think would present the best value for a cash gamer who isn't particularly adept at tournaments?

Thanks

Used to be Moneymaker posters but they don't keep those in stock anymore afaik.

I used to play in the 250fpp sattys to the Sunday million (or quarter mil??)

They are 18 man and top 6 get paid just play tight as f**k and when you get a premium pair just shove, no AK/AQ mind, just big pairs. People call you with all sorts and if you double up you can probs sit out to the money as the end game in these is full of idiots who have no clue about satellite strategy, once seen someone on the bubble go from chip leader by far to bubble boy in about 5 hands.

Save up 1k fpps and play 4 at once to keep it interesting, I haven't got my db from when I was at pokerstars but I used to cash in about 60-70% in these and then you just unregister and sell the tournament dollars, simples

And there's no need to be a tourney player r for those either, as long as you play like a rock.in the early stages and then have some clue about push-fold end game stuff then you should be fine

buy the cash bonuses

occasionally they have store promotions with even better cash bonus deals so save em for those

$4k cash bonuses, or even the $20k one next year , if not then prolly the tournies you can buy into with fpps are usually good conversion rate.

Thanks all. Some really good tips here. I do buy all the cash bonuses when they become available, plus the occassional random ones they offer. Also buy ther occassional book, etc. Was really aiming at what you thought the best tournies would be.

Orange, I really like your idea. I've considered those exact tournies. I've never gone about unregistering and selling $tournament though. Is it an involved process? Is there a sort-of website clearinghouse/marketplace to do this, or do you just do it internally through Stars?

Thanks again for the help/suggestions.

In all seriousness, doesn't concierge provide the best conversion rate?

I know it requires SN or whatever, but still?

**** i want that kayak

It's pretty negligible tbh chuck as all cash bonuses don't need clearing now and the $4k and above are like 1.6c/fpp whereas concierge is like 1.61c/fpp.

Ooh, didn't know they eliminated clearing the bonuses, that's awesome.

Good to know. I'm completely out of the pokerstars loop :/

Nah its easy to convert them, I'll pm you the place I used to do it with tomorrow

Cool, Orange. That's exactly the type of info I was looking for. Now I'll actually have a use for my FPP's .

play sattys and unregister, they will give you tournament dollars. i am a cash games player but with the tournament dollars i made from these sattys i made about 150$ this year, so not bad.

I have been using my FPP to play the 20FPP $2000 freerolls. Are these worth while? I figure one big cash in a blue moon would make it worth while, but I never do make much...

i play the 70 fpp 1/4 million satalite they are really soft and then unregister and take the $11

How many people play those? and how many get paid?

9 play 1st gets paid just play real nitty and you get to heads up almost every time people go allin preflop with any ace its stupid.

this is what i do, i have been winning at a rate of 1 in 4/5, they are extremely soft and the $11 in tourny dollars is nice for me to stab at some mtt's once in a blue moon

I recomand you to play those SNG with 70FPP persons buy-in than after winning the ticket(sunday milion 1/4) you can exchange it for cash .There is also a tournament where 10% of players receive a ticket.
