Stars 5 Billionth Hand

[GeoffM]

I'm actually holding on to mine. I believe when you have a certain amount, you can set up private tournies and such.

TP, how many do you need to have this ability? I think it was like 1800 or so, and I am certainely in that area.

I used to buy electronics with the FPPs (like my fabulous Ultrasharp 2001FP monitor), but now their electronics store sucks. Now, they hardly get any of my play.

I'm actually not sure. I've been able to do it since the first time I tried. I thought it was like 3k or something though... Don't quote me on that. I don't know if you need that many in your account or if you just need to have earned that many lifetime though. I suppose I could spend all mine and find out.

I've spent some on a few small things, plus I've used them to play in some of their big FPP satellites - I actually used 10k to play in one of their WPT PCA satellites (or was it 2? I think it was 2). I still have 7k+. I know that's nothing compared to the high rollers, but for as little as I play on Stars, it's a lot. I can easily clear one of their $120 bonii in just a matter of days, thanks to them giving points for tourney play. I remember furing the WCOOP last year, it worked out to them pretty much paying my first $120 in tourney entry fees.

Thanks for getting that info there, RR. Good to know!

Hey guys,

From what I've heard, sitngos as well as tournaments are indeed also clearing at 2X FPPs. This is one hell of an offer as I know in the past this was not happening.

[Robbie Robb]

I can confirm that SNGs ARE clearing at 2x FPPs. I'm getting 6FPPs for the $6.00+0.50 turbos.

[GeoffM]

Wait, so you are getting 6 FPPs for the 0.50 buyin?

Interesting, they usually only give 5X the fee, rounded up to 3. Hmm, that would make it 12X the fee.

I'm licking my chops as we speak. I'm thinking running $5+0.50 and 4 tabling.

[Robbie Robb]

Yep. They've just straight up doubled the existing ones. So the $15+1 are worth 10 FPPs each right now.
