Best Way to Use Stars FPP? |

Posted Wed May 30, 2007 1:00 pm GMT by lwestatbus
What are your preferred ways to use PokerStars FPP? I earn 500-1,000 per month and have generally been using them for the 500 pt no-rebuy qualifiers to the Sunday Million. I figure that's got a great payoff if all of the stars align twice and could be OK practice at MTT NL tournys. (Though I often find people playing just as wildly as at my $1.20 one- and two-table SnG tournys.)
Anyway, what do YOU do with your FPPs? Any recommendations?

I usually earn about 4000-5000 a month and i have ordered a couple of sweaters and books, but i really am not sure what to spend the rest of it on, i may keep saving and use them to get the cash bonus available to gold star VIPs.

i don't think i'd put much trust in a hooker that would accept FPP as payment for services...
when something seems too good to be true...

400+R FPP tournies to satelite into the SM.
I've won $430 T$ that way and it only cost 3200 FPPs

I actually like the FPP thing, it keeps me motivated towards a goal, I know its weird, but it makes me play a lot. I bought that nice Canon Rebel Xti and just got it in the mail. Sweet.
I have enough for the 80gig Ipod, I think I'm gonna get that next.

I never really found something I wanted much so I used them to freeroll but I once ordered the deck of casino cards and they messed up and never sent them. I emailed support and I've gotten probably 4-5 decks thus far from them for no reason, they just keep sending them (and they are different decks each time?).

what i loved about stars support is even when its not their fault as far as deliveries go they apologize
i ordered a book first, got it no prob except sice it was send from usa in normal post, i had to pay import tax, which i shouldnt do as the law says but arguing with stupid people at post and tax office is not my thing
when i ordered 3 books next time, i mailed them first, lady said i have to replay to confirmation email so she cann pull them out and send stuff from UK, did that and a week later i get the books, a nice pokerstars teddybear and and apology card saying they are sorry i had to pay the tax etc.
but 2 weeks later i get same 3 books from usa send via ups delivered to my door.
considering my expiriences with other consumer supports stars f*cking ownz
oh and so it isnt off topic i was going for ipod nano , they had 4gb version then, but then i went busto and just used fpps to buy into satelites :D

808 gig?.... why so big...
although the screen has very good clarity and defenition there's really no point on playing videos unless i guess you have 80 gigs of porn you just HAVE to carry around with you at all times... even then i've been an avid collector of online porn for 10 years or so now and I don't think I could find 80gigs that couldn't leave my side...

It makes me feel like more of a man to have more gigs than everybody else.
But really its only 6,000 more than the 30 gig, why not?

Win satelites and then unregister from them to keep the cash.

Does that actually work?

I think it does if you use FPP to win a satellite. If you simply buy into a satellite, you can't take the money. But YMMV.
