Ok, So my question is what is the most profitable way to use these FPP's considering my bankroll is roughly $2k on stars, and I only have about 5000 FPPs as of now, and I'm not like looking to use them anytime soon unless someone deems a way for them to be useful...
Originally when I switched from Sportsbook Poker, to come to a bigger poker site my motivation was rakeback... Come to find out Stars didn't have rakeback but their own system, that was supposedly better than the rakeback you would recieve on other sites. (correct me if I'm wrong I just need answers lol) Also, I semi-understand what the levels do, but my question is in general what is the best way to utilize the Pokerstars system to generate the most money back (rakeback). Thanks.

you probably want to be at least a platinum star before you start using fpps for stars bonuses, 50k fpps for $650... best valu is def he supernova bonuses but only if you're able to get 100k vpps in a year

I usually use my FPPs for Satellite entries. If you're a decent player they should be worth a lot more to you than $650/50k FPP

I think the turbo takedown is a good use there. I cashed two for two in them including a 1350 cash and I am an average player imo.

Just try to get it so that you get the highest FPP/cash ratio. For example entering the Turbo Takedown makes the FPPs worth 1.67 cents/each. Buying into the $215 Sunday million makes each FPP 1.59 cents. You can see more here:

One of the best things to get is the Porshe, but that'd take a while, lol.
The Cash bonuses aren't worth it.

I purchase the supernova bonuses because cash is the most liquid asset.

Since when does liquidity trump expectancy? Aren't you screwing yourself out of money by doing that?

Some people don't wanna spend the time grinding however many FPP tourneys, especially since the Supernova cash bonuses are relatively close enough in value (right?). I know I'd rather just buy the cash bonus & have it show up in my cashier after however many hands of grinding normally than have to grind FPP tourneys on the side.
So yeah, I'll stick to the cash bonuses until someone proves that I'm losing a lot of EV by purchasing them over the FPP tourneys.

generally once you get super nova your playing at stakes where the opportunity cost to play another tournament to release money is much higher than just playing normally and releasing the bonus.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
