What usage of PartyPoints gives you the most bang for your buck? Are the Players Club freerolls worthwhile? The $2,500 one might be, but I'm not sure how many people enter. The books? Taking shots at the WSOP or whatever?

thier freerolls (expect for the 100k) are worthless. too much time, too little money.

just order something you like with your points. get the most value for your tastes

hint: the more points an item costs, generally the more bang for your buck

I thought it was the exact opposite.

I made a whole spreadsheet of the items earlier. My theory held pretty well. Unfortunately I trashed it.

If you're gonna go for $/PP, go by how much it would cost to buy the item yourself today, not by the suggested retail. Like the price you listed for theory of poker is way too high, should only be $19 as of 5/14 on Amazon.

There are ways to get magazine subscriptions for next to nothing. I have muscle/fitness, mens health, blender, maxim, fhm, stuff.. all for $1.50 each for 4 years.


Sony 15" LCD TV: $429.99 on Amazon/100,000PP = .00429

but anyway.
