Default 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?

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!

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.

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.

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.
