Thats about 700 hands a day. Playing 4 tables, thats a minimum of 3 1/2 hours a day.

You are NOT getting only 50 hands per table-hour unless you are playing incredibly slow.
And for 4-tables to take 3.5 hours for 700 hds this is what you would have to do.

More realistic on 2/4 full would be 75-80 hds per hour.
On 4 tables you should get to 700 hds in just a little over 2 hours I believe.


2/4 limit is not the best place to accrue points quickly.
But the rake structure on the full-ring game is somewhat favorable for you because most hands are only going to be raked exactly $1.

So while you won't be able to make the higher milestones, you will be getting a really good rake-back value.

Even if you're only platinum, most of the time you will be contributing $0.10 in rake by the dealt-hand method.
You'll get 2.5 FPP's for this hand which is 4 cents.

So for all those 10-player hands that are raked only $1 you are getting 40% rakeback.

You'll have a few hands that go past $40 pot for $2 rake so you'll be getting only 20% on those.

Overall my guess is that even at P?latinum you are getting somewhere around 35% at full-ring 2/4 limit.
Just a guess though.


The reason you aren't earning FPP's very quickly at 2/4 is because you are playing so many hands that are completely unraked.
They don't take a rake until the pot reaches $20. Lots o fhands only make it to $14 or $18 or something.

So complaining that you can't earn points quickly enough at 2/4 limit is essentially like saying you are ticked that Stars is NOT raking those hands.
