I was only in pre once against a half stack.
I think two other times I got off relatively unharmed.
No matter what, you are gonna lose SOME chips when it happens.

So I got like 160k fpps and plan on getting the toshiba 50 inch for 140k. What should I do with the rest? Im thinking about just keep buying the VIP bonuses and clearing them. Anyone have experience with this?

Well that is not that bad at all... at least you are seeing flops whith them. I had AA delt to me ~15 times yesterday and I saw a big [censored] 0 flops lol and all my pre raises are the same so they would not know if I had AA or 22 or JTs

I will be Nova in like 2 weeks. I will be accumulating ~35,000 points a week. My plan is to go with the bonuses. At the Nova level 100,000FPP=$1500. This will be about $525/wk for me. The value of the bonuses at the other levels are much worse.

Some players like to play the FPP satellites to the Sunday Million and then unregister if they when and either sell or use the T$.

Some like to play the STTs against the pros (Raymer, Hachem, etc)

Novas get 3.5 FPP per VPP.
