PokerStar FPP

Postby Binman77 » Sun May 31, 2009 7:19 am GMT

Hi People

I made about 3k FPP per month in PS. I know its not a lot to some of you. But I just want to ask for some opinion on whats the best way to use them? Joining tourney? getting electronics? or something else?

Thank you heaps

Probably just the cash exchange.

That's the original purpose of FPPs, to be a form of rakeback.

Save them up. The bonuses are the best things there but don't buy electronics on there. You will save yourself money if you just buy the amazon vouchers and get your electrical stuff with that.

Best thing I ever bought with them was an iPod, which has been a great purchase. It's entertaining and I love the fact that I can say it was totally paid for by Poker.

Beyond that, I've used FPP's for a few clothing purchases (mostly back in the day before they had anything that was actually good), and the rest for cash bonuses and tourney entries that have big overlays (ie the Turbo Takedown).

Enter the satellites for the Sunday 1/4 million. They cost 210 FPPs. If you finish top 6 out of 20 you get 11T$. A competent player should be able to do this at least 1 out of 3 times.

Then trade the T$ for real dollars for about 98% of their value.

This month I played in 32 of those satellites and won 13 of them for a total of 143 T$. I traded the 143 T$ for 140 real dollars giving me just over 2 cents per FPP.

I agree. While I don't make quite as many FPPs this is what I do with mine. I've been saving the T$ for WSOP Sat entries (which hasn't worked out, but that's a different story).
