Ugh 0 for 2. Made it to 5th and 4th. Had QQ cracked by AQ and AT shortstacked beaten by 83o .

All out of FPPs, guess I'll go burn some FTPs !

I take back everything - I just won the first one I played!
Booya! Thanks for the tip smoore!

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.

2/3, had to have AA cracked by TT to lose the third. These things might as well say "Exchange 70 fpps for $11" on them in the lobby


.....he wrote jokingly, never to win a satellite in his life again.

Well, not quite as good as BigMike (well done sir!) but I just won my 2nd of these (2/5). Tripled up on the first hand and then actually had some good play 3 handed and head's up.

I'm sure every internet poker forum is on these like stink on poo. You're going to start seeing some pretty good players multi-tabling them to convert FPP to $T.

I wonder how long they've been going on.
