What do you buy with your FPP's???

[SirArthur]

I have a ton of Fpp's at Stars.

I've ordered only one thing so far though, & that's the poker chips set.

It arrived about two weeks ago, & I'm impressed with the quality of the set.

Although I didn't realize it would say "poker stars.com" on every single chip. Not a problem, just something I didn't expect.

I'm planning on getting enough of those beanie-bag-squeezie things to fill my basement.

I never know what to do with all the fpp's.

I have 4 travel mugs, 4 duffel bags, the cards, a bunch of books and a ton of pokerstars clothes which I never wear. The travel mugs and duffel bags always come in handy.

I use them sometimes to play the 1-table sng's for the $215 in $T, when I can be bothered or feel low in BR.

The merchandise offered by Poker Stars is rock solid. However, it is not the best use of your FPP's. The value of most merchandise is around $0.016. However, by playing in the correct tournaments you can more than double your FPP value to almost $0.04 per point.

Here is a summary of the value of FPP's to enter various tournaments (with the best value in red):

Are the chips actually clay?
