What do you guys think I should do with them?

I am thinking of playing qualifiers with them, but what are considered easy satellites? I dont want to risk it all in one or two satellites so....

Let me know what you think, thx!

The 210 FPP 20 man SNG sattellites to the weekly 200 K are pretty good. You can afford playing 27 of them, and they pay 6 11$ seats, giving you a strong chance of grinding out something like 100$

If you wanna get more FPPs before you start playing FPP to cash sattellites, you can play some of the rebuy tourneys for the 5K FPP monthly 1.000.000 turbo. The play in those are terrible, so if can stand the madness, you can build up a nice FPP bank to play sats. with.

Why not just join the turbo takedown? The rest you can use with the 210s.

I believe the turbo takedown is next week and I am unable to play then, how about pruchasing some steps tournament tickets?

Should I order the pokerstars monkey? Will it bring me luck if I buy it? I am not going to play on stars any time soon. So it might bring bad luck if I order it.

Steps aren't worth it since afaik you can't cash out. Just save the FPPs for later if you can't play now. Get the monkey, or books, or whatever if you want to.

I've got 5K myself, but I'm bummed at the lack of PLO books to buy with the points. I've already got all the Harrington and Sklansky books.

Guess you can't go wrong with the $50 bonus.....

I have all the books I could wish for, for the 50$ bonus i need 350 fpp's. I think I'll do the 20 man sng's.

5400 FPP tourney to the sunday million. Unregister SM and convert to cash...

Easiest money I've ever made on Stars. If you're a halfway decent SNG player your odds of cashing this 5400 FPP is better than 50/50. 10 players and it pays 4 seats.

Then again, the cards are really nice. The best cards you'll probably ever play with.

Oh, hold on, do you mean play the 5400FPP satelite and un-register from the sunday Million once you have won your seat? Still, will they let you convert your seat to $215 cash?

So confused (most of it my fault no doubt)

You can then use the tournament dollars to play other tournaments.

Personally I like playing the 210fpp's and then playing $1 45 man turbos.

spreads the risk and you can normally turn the t$11 into $30-$50

I asked the same question last week, and the 210 FPP 20 person was the majority of responses. I almost bought the set of cards, but instead I won around $25 with 1350 FPPs playing different types of satellites. I'm sure the average 2+2er could do better too.
