Poker Stars January VIP Club Store Sale - Page 8 - PokerStars: General discussion -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

I assume you still have to clear the VPP's to release these discounted bonuses?

I have 26K FPP's at Platinum Star...what should I do with them regarding the cash bonuses to get the best value? Why is everyone saying the $285 bonus is such bad value?

Thanks!!!

See the spreadsheet I posted to calculate all this stuff.

Posted here.

Assuming you are asking about the value of these discounted bonuses and whether they are a better deal than the standard SN bonus I suggest reading this thread (that question has been answered AT LEAST 10 times).

HOWEVER, since I'm nice, click this link:

Red = bad return on investment.

Basically every bonus except the $285 is a "better" deal than the SN bonus. Plus, you can still buy the SN bonus on top of these...

Keep in mind, however, that the above link only takes each FPP to be $0.016 in value. Concierge value is a tad more than that...so if you compare to $500/31,000 FPPs for concierge the results are a little different

I posted a table earlier in this thread with just the cash reward and tournament tickets but here's the complete list.

Hopefully this should answer everyone's questions regarding release dates etc.

Please note that I am using the 1 FPP = $0.016 calculation so it's designed for Supernova but every item should still be a bargain, including the $285 cash reward for Gold Star.

Don't know all the size breakdowns, but the medium I got in the WSOP package didn't come close to fitting. Everyone saying it runs small is correct; I'd strongly consider going two sizes up.

(Also, you're going to be bummed when you're constantly sliding your hands over the kangaroo pocket that isn't actually there. Be warned.)

Even for other items besides bonuses you are limited to 1 at the discounted price according to their website.

Do the tournament tickets have to be used for tournaments matching the ticket amount exactly? For example, could I use a $215 ticket to partially buy in to a $530 and pay cash for the rest? Conversely, can I use a partial amount of a $530 ticket to buy in to a $215? Thanks.

It actually says that they are plastic chips, not composite chips, so they are probably much lighter than the standard 11g w/inserts.

I didn't notice that until I saw your post. That kangaroo pocket is a must have for me. I would've been disappointed upon shipment, thanks!

I will definitely buy it.
But there's no way the chips are 11 grams; they are smaller, I would bet 4 - 6 grams.

And 11.5 grams means "made in China"! I have the 500 chips Deluxe box from PS Store and it's just wonderful. The chips are more or less 9 grams. And luckily I bought them a few years ago, they were 35000 FPP (now 60000 FPP).

So those small chips are certainly "made in China", but my 500 chips box is just to heavy to travel with. => go for the mini set.

What size would you take if you are:

- 1m 70
- 1m 80
- 1m 85
- 1m 90
