Another FPP Trading Option

I realized there is another great option for the Poker Stars FPP's. You can trade 500 FPP's for a $7.50 Step 1 tournament ticket. That comes to $0.015 per FPP. That is about the same rate as trading in 13500 for a Sunday Million ticket. But with Step tournaments they are all 9 Man tournaments. And what is even better is they pay top 2-4 spots. I believe for the Step 1 you need to be in the top 2. Top two get Step 2 tickets.

Then once you have made it to the step 2 tournament, first two places get Step 3 tickets; 3rd place gets a Step 3 ticket; and 4th place gets a step 2 ticket.

It offer excellent chances of eventually winning a step 3 tournament. You can either win a ticket to the previous step, the current step, or the next step. If you win the first or second in a step 3 tournament, you get a step 4 ticket which can be traded in for any $215 tournament - which includes the Sunday Million.

For 13500 FPP's you might be better off playing the Step 1 tournaments. You get 27 Step 1 tickets to try for a Sunday Million Step 4 ticket. I believe you will be able to win a lot more than one Step 4 ticket. The only Sunday Million I played I won the ticket through a step 3 tournament.

The rakeback is the same, but Step tournaments offer much greater odds.

And what is even better is you don't have to trade in all your step 4 tickets. You can try to win a step 6 tournament and win a $13500 live game package. That might be worth grinding out! Imagine parlaying your FPP's into a poker tournament in Manilla or Macauu or Sydney...even the big one in Vegas.
