Satellites are a Great Way to Accumulate FPPs

What are T$ (Tournament Dollars)?

When you win a satellite on PokerStars, you have the option to unregister from that event and receive Tournament Dollars. If you win multiple seats to the same target event, you'll automatically get T$. T$ can be used to register in any Stars tournaments. T$ differ from real money, because they cannot be used in real money games or be cashed out - only for buying into tournaments.

Is This Secure?

Absolutely. All transactions are handled from within the PokerStars client. Both the buyer and seller must submit a matching request to PokerStars for a transaction to complete. Bottom line: there's no way for anyone to default on a T$ purchase. If something goes wrong, the transaction is simply cancelled and you retain your T$.

Satellites are a Great Way to Accumulate FPPs

If you’re looking for a quick way to acquire FPPs on PokerStars, you should really consider satellite tournaments. The great thing about satellite tournaments is that they tend to be fairly brainless affairs, so you can generally play more of them at once than you might be comfortable doing with cash or MTTs.

Another advantage of satellite tournaments is that they end much more quickly than a typical tournament. For one thing, they are often short-stacked or turbo tournaments; for another thing, they don’t need to play down to a winner – the satellite tournament ends when enough players are eliminated, and that’s that.

All of these factors equal up to one thing: satellite tournaments give you a nice, lower-risk, rapid path to earning FPPs in a hurry. Whether you’re doing so to clear a bonus or more up in the VIP system, satellite tournaments are a tool that should definitely be in your aresenal.
