Chopping, do you? Would you?

I like the move. I believe the going rate for T$ is 0.85*par value. So cash is actually worth a bit more.

Based on stack size, I think it was a fair deal. Chopping at the end is a good way to reduce variation. After all, you could have just as easily walked away with nothing for your efforts. It's not like there's a bracelet involved here.

I like the deal. It's a matter of personal preference, but mathematically speaking, this was not a bad deal for you...

And better yet, you've now turned some of your FPPs into actual cash, which is a nice accomplishment in itself.

Just got heads up in another with almost identical chip counts so we split it 50/50.

I have used up all but 100 of those FPP's I won, so it went like this

100 FPP buy won 10,000 FPP's

With those FPP's I ended up with $90 in cash and T$332.

Couple rough beats along the way or it could have been better, also a couple hands I got carried away with or it could have been better. All in all I'll take that.

When I first started playing on Stars, I thought that FPP were just a gimmick. Since then, I have turned 60 FPP into 500 cash, and about 3000 FPP on top of that. Its a nice little system they have.

how do u change FPP for cash??

[Talking Poker]

You buy in to a tournament with them and finish in the money.

you can also effectively do it by exchanging points for merchandise that you would otherwise have an interest in, like the books or chip sets that they offer.

not exactly getting cash, but you do definitely get something of value.

i definitly wouldnt mind chopping if i was lower on chips than anyone else and they wanted to chop and it would bring my money count up.
