Chips: 1,861 | | | Re: Amazing value for FPP on 'stars Everyone is welcome. I was just trolling my (empty) 'stars account looking for a FPP tournament to enter and said, "Wow, that seems like double equity for each FPP!" A quick calculation told me that it was about 1.75 value.
WHEEE!
$T can be used to enter any tournament on pokerstars. You will go to the lobby of the tournament you've just won an entry in and click "unregister" to get the $T into your account. You'll then see it in the cashier window. I *think* if you're already registered for the target tournament you'll automagically get $T in your account.
$W are a bit different, they can only be used to enter satellites for big live events like the WSOP and the WPT events. You get these from unregistering somewhere along the super-satellite ladder.
These are $T because the target tournament is a cash tournament, not a super-satellite.

I wonder how long they've been going on.
