PokerStars & FPP's, Getting Screwed?

Not at all difficult to obtain if you play fulltime, I have looked into Pokertracker, % of hands raked, how much I play etc. and would gather appx. 25,000 FPPs pr month. Half a month to get to Platinum and only 4 months to get to Supernova. But the FPP-structure means I would get almost the same reward for playing 5/10 as 15/30 or even 100/200. It rewards quantity, not playing at higher limit. If they could increase it to 2FPPs per hand raked at $3 from 15/30 and up it would be nice [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] (come on, Lee, it will make me change [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]) .

$3 rake is $3 rake, why would they care what you limit you play?

Ok, so make it $3 rake at all levels [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. My point is that at 15/30 I am better off playing elsewhere as rake reaches $3 more often and other sites rewards me extra for this. At 5/10 (or even more so on 2/4-3/6) many pots are raked $1 or $2 and then Pokerstars offer seems to be better (Pokerstars reward $1-rake pots better than anything I have seen)

Ehh, about this 2001fp, I'd be better off bonus whoring 4 sites for $100 each, 4k hands; than trying to play 35k hands at poker stars. It's still cool they offer it, and maybe in a year I'll have 35k.

if you play enough tho, it doesnt take 35K raked hands to get 35K FPP points, you can earn 250% faster if you are nova.

still, its not going to be as good as a rakeback, or bonus whoring, but I think its still a pretty good deal. And im close to the point where im so fed up with party, that ill take a $$$ hit to play at a site that actually makes me feel like they value me as a player.

I got bored last night and decided to try and get some FPPs toward one of my five stacked up bonuses at Stars. I played 2 hours (a very long session for me) and got 37 FPPs.

but if you were silver you'd have gotten 55.5!

Enjoy!

seriously though, this program seems designed to reward the true VIPs, not low stake chumps like myself. Oh well, I'll still play MTTs there.

What game were you playing? Must be $0.50-1.00 or lower. At $2-4 and up it accrues much faster.

I rarely play limit poker online. If I do play limit, I play stud. I was playing NL/50 & 100. It's a max $50 buy-in--not a mandatory $50 buy-in like on Party, which means a lot of short stacks, which is bad--but that's another story.

On party a raked pot is $1.00. On Stars I believe it has to be $5.00.
