Is there a spreadsheet somewhere that lists all of the purchases that can be made with PokerStars Frequent Player Points, and which ones give you the most overlay value? Preferably as satellites to bigger turneys, which ones are the best to spend those points on.

Thx.. BB

If I had no life I'd consider making it. I'm pretty sure someone did math previously and found that the FPP sat's to the $215 were pretty high on the list. But I don't think there's a full out guide $/FPP thing out there.

In terms of satellites to the $215, they have a one table 1500s, 3 table 500s, and 4 table 375s. In other words, the overlay is the same. $0.0159 per FPP.

For the WSOP satellites, the most recent 4000 FPP Round 2 paid 2 entries to the WSOP main event. There were 439 players, for an overlay of $0.0123 per FPP.

However, the most recent 1000 FPP Round 2 paid 1 entry and there were 356 players, for an overlay of $0.0308 per FPP.

So it looks like the 1000 FPP WSOP satellites are a good deal.

Since I generate quite many FPPs I checked through the items/tourneys etc., and as mentioned the 1k FPPs for WSOP are clearly the best, usually they are twice as valuable as the 2nd best option.

The word on the street is that they're going to get a bunch of new items soon since the Dell stuff didn't work out. I'm saving up my FPPs and waiting until the new stuff comes to see if it's better.

The money is in the soon to be coming 50-300 fpp satellite tourneys to a 500-3000 fpp satellite. Win, then unregister from the larger satellite. In no time, you'll be driving the porsche, well, almost.....

Michael Dell apparently doesn't want to be associated with a bunch of degenerate poker players, or offshore corporations. Of course, he has absolutely no problem exporting US jobs offshore, but that's another thread.

Dell ditched stars for partypoker actually.
