I have around 1,300 FPPs on PS. How can I best utilize them in a way that will help me become a better poker player? As far as using them for games... are they just for getting into tournaments? Can they be used in any other good way? I'm obviously not interested in any shwag from their poker store. Any books I get will probably be from 2+2.

i personally like to hold to them until stars hast he special monthly bonus' which are at the same rate as supernova bonus which may only be like 2-3 times a year but it can be worht it imo... if you dont have the time/patience then yeah satelites to the weekly 250k tourny are good

I have always held that the 210 FPP 20man SnGs for the Sunday 1/4 million are the best bang for the buck. They take top 6 out of the 20 to the $11 entry for the Sunday event. Just unregister and you get $T which you can use to play in tournaments/SnGs, or you can sell them somehow for a less than even exchange rate (I'm not sure what people pay for them nowadays but it'd be easy to search and find out)

Usually you can get about .99 on the $ in the t$ thread.

Thanks everyone. I think I'll hang on to them for a while... since I am no where near good enough wind up in the money in a $250K tourny.

The best way I have utilized mine were the 210 sats into the 10+1 event. 6 of 20 cash.

dont play the actual $250k tourney. play the satellite which wins you a seat, then unregister which will give you T$11.
