I've been playing at Stars a lot since all this Party nonsense, and I finally have enough FPP for some of the nicer items in the store. Should I order the chip set or the wool jacket with leather sleeves or something else? How are the quality of these items?

standard disclaimer that the FPP tournaments are probably a better way to spend your FPP's.

The jacket is really nice, very good quality - and will typically cause complete strangers to start asking you about online poker if my experiences are anything to go by. But you probably will never want to wear it to a house game...

this is probably good advice. Something tells me that if you can buy into WPT event with points (as Lee Jones implied) then they'll be quick to give you swag to wear at it for advertising reason.

This is bad advice simply because, if he doesn't have enough FPPs to buy 10 leather jackets and 10 chip sets, then he won't have enough to actually get something GOOD in the VIP program. Want a world series package? That will be 1 million FPPs please.

More to the point, there's no guarantees that FPP points are going to be involved in the VIP program.

The stars wool jacket is ugly as sin but would have been great to go as moneymaker for halloween, now all you need are oakleys.

I got the chip set.. it was pretty nice. Now I use my FPPs to enter 1000 pt satellites to the sunday big turneys. The big black parka is nice too.. duno bout the leather jacket.

Seriously the Jacket blows. I am not mr style by any means and I wouldnt be caught dead in it. When I get around to it it is going in the goodwill box. The chips are usable but a little light. You can buy a way better set inexpensively. Use your FPP's for tourney buyins.

That and it's unlikely old FPPs will be involved.

The chip set: good quality apart from the box itself which is a bit fragile and can be easily damaged by young children and/or drunk people. The chips themselves are great which I suppose is the whole point huh?

The jacket: good quality garment but don't order an extra large unless you are
- really enormously hugely large or
- need a tent or
- want to work as a doorman at a bar or
- want to look three times as wide as you actually are.

Paint and bloodstains also don't come out easily but then they both add character.

I sent a picture of the PokerStars letterman's jacket to a girl I'm interested in, and she said, "Yuck."

Guess I'm getting the chip set.
