| Best value for Stars FPPs? Just wondering what to spend my FPPs on at Stars. I recently played a few of the 2 table SNGs for qualifying into the Sunday $100K. 210 FPPs to play and the top 6 qualify. Qualifying is pretty easy...lots of bad players. If you qaulify you can either play in the $100K or unregister for 11 T$...which I use to play SNGs. So essentially I'm converting 210 FPPs to $11.... Are there better values out there for the FPPs or is this one pretty good? Thanks... |

| Bored so I got my calculator out... Converting 210 FPPs to $11 = 19 FPPs/dollar Converting 5400 FPPs to $215 = 25 FPPs/dollar Converting 3,000,000 FPPs to 1 Porche (MSRP $59100) = 51 FPPs/dollar But the car is a guarentee so you have to take that into account... although qualifying in the 210 FPP SNG is pretty close to a guarentee. (Man....I must be really bored) (edit) jagsti, I didn't realize I could sell my $T...is that an option through PS or do you do it outside PS and make a transfer to the buyer?

| re: Best value for Stars FPPs? poker I've only bought clothes with them, I have a sweet work out jacket!!! Never tried the SnG's, I personally don't think there worth it. You work about a week to gain enough fpps to win $11, doesn't seem worth it in my opinion |

| depends on your ROI if you get 1st every time it is about 7fpp/dollar, which is great. unfortunately I don't consistently get first place... That's why I like the 18 player 210fpp because it is very easy to qualify in the top 6...my sample is too small to mean anything, but so far i'm 4/4. If you play tight and wait you will usually only need to take down a couple of pots and you are ITM. |

Let's say the 210 one is 100% guaranteed and takes about an hour. To use them all for what you could get the Porsche for it'd take 14285 hours which even if you treated it as a full time job (40 hours/week, 50 weeks/year) would take over 7 years to complete. Instead you could buy the Porsche and continue to win money and in that 7 years would probably win enough FPPs to get another Porsche lol. btw the Supernova cash bonus is 66 FPPs/dollar |

What if I 20-table the 210 SNGs while orbitting the Earth in a rocket ship traveling at the speed of light? If my calculations are correct I should have enough to by 2 Porsches by the end of the week...and that's only cashing in 20% of the games. Of course, I'll still need to save enough FPPs for that rocket ship.... |

The secret to this game is to lay low for the first ten or fifteen hands unless you have the absolute nuts. After that, the allin feeding frenzy is pretty much over and you can start to play poker. |

| I hadn't even thought about trying to spend my points this way before. I do have to factor in time considerations and how it alters what i'm doing but I just played a couple of the 2-table, 210 fpp tourneys and placed in both. In the second one I only played two hands and folded the rest of the time! (I played an AA and a checked to BB that flopped a boat). Won big pots with both. Got to sit there and watch them donk each other out for the most part for the rest of it. It's kinda fun watching the guy with A6o reraise all in over a raiser and an allin-reraiser because..well..he has an ACE! Overall the play was horrid, play tight and straight up and I'd think making the money (top 6) isn't that hard to do fairly often. Not sure how to factor in the time factor and the fact you aren't earning fpp's /money from playing ring games into the equation but 420 fpp + ~1 hour = T $22 for me today. Had a couple of cash tables open at the same time too and made a few dollars/points over there as well. |
