I am looking to find a way to make the most money with these points.

Right now I am earning around 1200-1500 FPP points a day at Stars.

My question is this...is it better for me to enter the 1500 FPP 9 man tournament, try to win it, and sell the $215 ticket for 200? I can nearly play in one of these a day.

My other option is to build my FPP points to 13,500 ( I could do that about every two weeks) and just buy a Sunday $215 ticket through the VIP/FPP store and sell it for $200.

I have some experience in SNG style play and I have an average ROI of 20%.

Which option do you guys recommend? Or is there a better alternative that I am completely missing?

When I was playing that much on Stars I would just get amazon.com gift certificates.

If you buy a ticket directly for 13.5K VPP you can't sell it, you have to play. Also, you should be able to get more than $200 for a ticket. I'd just get the Amazon cards though.

Okay. I didn't know that. That sucks.

The amazon gift cards don't really interest me that much.

Maybe my best shot is just playing in the Sunday tournament every two weeks.

Well, on second thought, how easy are these gift cards to sell?
