Hey guys, im curious as to what you think is the best use of starcoins nowadays for increasing BR.
I'm Chrome, so i dont produce a lot of coins. What i do is buying $0.55 tournaments tickets for 55 coins. So far have been ITM but never very deep, aways loosing that much needed double up mid-game, either unluckily sucked out or finding BB holding AA when i get QQ on the BTN and shove preflop.
So, what do you do with your coins?
Thanks!
Unlike FPPs you will always get the same value when you buy tournament tickets or convert into cash. With FPPs you had the option to wait till you had a lot, because then you paid less FPP per $ - because you dont have that option any longer, I suppose in your case it would be most profitable to buy into the lowest tournaments with your coins (as you said you already are). Basically find the tournament that is softest. Therefore, if you had more coins, I would recommend The Storm ($11) - probably the softest $11 field, but the variance is pretty high.
Other than that, you could look into VIP Bash tournaments. You can buy in directly with Starcoins here, and as far as I know it is the only place where you get extra value (example 100 coins is worth >$1 in VIP Bash sats/tours, because of the added prizes in these tournaments).
I like to grind those 6max/htper storm satellites whenever I've saved up a decent amount of FPP/stars coins.
Pretty variance heavy, overall good value.

In connection to the VIP Bash tournaments, remember that in many of Pokerstars' promotions and series, there is sometimes tournaments á la VIP Bash. Example in the 100 Million Members promo, there will be a $100.000 tournament with a buyin on 50 coins
