Value for FPP's
 
Does anyone know if certain things are a better value than others in the FPP store?

I mean I could pay 100k FPP's for a 1.5k guarenteed bonus, or I could get in a 9 person tourny with Joe Hachem for just 15k and 1st gets 1k, down to 4th who gets $200, plus $200 bounty on pro. Also all those TV's and computer monitors and whatnot. 10 tabling really racks up the FPP's quick. I could even wait and save um up a long time and hope ot buy into some WCOOP or WSOP events. Anyone have any good ideas or know if any are better deals than others?

Concierge bitch. Get whatever the hell you want on their dime.

I say hold off... If you don't NEED anything, you might as well just let the points accumulate and cash them all out at once for a nice big year end bonus.

Better yet, go for a car!


Seriously.... how long did it take you to get 100,000 points? Multiple that amount of time by 30, and you've got yourself a free Porsche Cayman S. Hellooooooooooooooo.

Sure, you could have $45,000 cash instead, but screw that. Take the car!

Name an entire galaxy McNugent ;)

LMFAO @ the galaxy thing.


Dont take the porsche, while yes its a free car e.t.c, but that car is notoriously unreliable, save up for the aston martin.

What id do is just save em up till next years WSOP/WCOOP season, then decide if you wanna buyin through them, as you will still have loads left after.

Forget the cars, unless you have a small penis.

He's 19 years old and it's going to cost a fortune to insure those sons of bitches anyway.

Talking Poker 11-09-06 11:25 PM

So use the concierge to pay the insurance!

Duh.

eejit101 11-10-06 12:44 AM

this is the guy thats won like $100k + and your saying itll be epensive to insure???

He can insure it from one nice 5/10 sitting for a year.

If JD has a small penis however is for another thread

GeoffM 11-10-06 10:15 AM

Do you have any idea how much insurance would cost for an 18 year old to insure these types of cars? Heck, he'd be hard pressed to find an insurance company even willing to do it.

eejit101 11-10-06 02:09 PM

Yes, approx 14k a year. And i was joking. He could get the car then get the concierge bloke to pay for the insurance

Talking Poker 11-10-06 02:47 PM

Welcome to the joke from 3 posts ago.

GeoffM 11-10-06 03:19 PM

:rolleyes: I wish you underwrote my car insurance.

You're probably looking at closer to 1/4 of the car's value yearly, and likely 1/3, since he is only 18 or 19 and doesn't have a long driving record.

I bought my 98 neon for 2250 Canadian. I pay 3500 a year in insurance. ITS A FUCKIN NEON. With no collision! Fuck you. I think I should run someone over so I actually get some value out of it.

JDMcNugent7 11-10-06 04:49 PM

and have been in 1 accident that was my fault, 2 speeding tickets, and got hit by a drunk driver that totaled my first truck.

juiCe[3x] 11-10-06 04:52 PM

Play vs Hachem :D

eejit101 11-10-06 05:11 PM


i was thinking GBP£££. So about $26k if were converting. I know this as a show trialed the Aston, and gave that figure from an insurance company for a 22y.o male to insure it

Tony Cheval 11-10-06 06:44 PM

And bring Splenda packets. :D
