Default Re: How many FPPs on 1/2 SH compared to 2/4 SH on Pokerstars

I'm assuming he's referring to limit.

1/2 and lower gets an FPP at $0.40 rake.
2/4 and higher gets an FPP at $1 rake.


For 1/2 limit it requires an $8 pot which is 4BB's.
For 2/4 limit it requires a $20 pot which is 5BB's.


So it would indeed appear that points would actually accumulate faster at 1/2 than at 2/4.

However, you get double-points on 6-max if the pot reaches $40 which is obviously more likely to happen on a 2/4 table.

My hunch is that point-accumulation is still faster on a 1/2 table but it's probably pretty close.
I haven't looked at actual numbers.

but even if you played just 100 hands of each...which would not take long at all...you could then look at the numbers and make a fairly decent determination as to how many points you are getting.
Adjust this approximation if your 100 hands just happen to come on a particularly insane table.
