Default Re: How much FPP per hour on poker stars

I thought that Pokerstars had extended the total # of tables one could play when Party extended theirs, and I thought it was more than 5. However, it is listed as 5 on the bonuswhores webpage.

Last I heard, at the $1/2 level about 1/3 of the hands were receiving a FPP. This would be about 20 FPPs per table-hour. But this number is going to be different at different levels.

So assuming 20 FPPs per table-hour x 5 tables would be 100FPPs per hour on average.

Of course, as you move up in levels the FPPs accumulate more rapidly.

SILVER = 1.5x (1500FPPs in a month to reach this level)
GOLD = 2x (4000FPPs in a month to reach this level)
PLATINUM = 2.5x (10000FPPs in a month to reach this level)

So in order to maintain PLATINUM status at the $1/2 level you need to be logging 40 hours per month. Not the hardest thing in the world to do.

I just wish we could do more tables at a time on Stars. Can anybody confirm that is is just five? Is it five ring and then we can do tournaments too? Or five total? Maybe if we collectively nag we can get this number increased.

Also, in another thread I suggested that those who are looking for a cash option for the FPPs simply get an entry to one of the Sunday guaranteed tournaments and unregister for the tournament. Then sell the T$ you will receive in the multi-table tournament forum, where they will go quick at 90%. I, however, plan on possibly playing a WSOP event and/or cashing out some T$ to use in SNGs.
