Stars doesnt do partial points, so if you play ALOT of hands at the micros you will more then your rakeoints ratio will be alot higher then the guys that are getting points every single hand

I don't think this is correct if I'm understanding you correctly.

At 1/2 and lower the rake has to be $0.40 to earn an FPP.
You don't just get a point just because the hand is raked.

So at some of the lower stakes you will be playing a lot of hands that are raked $0.05 up to $0.35 that you earn nothing for.

And the lower you go the less your chances are of having a pot make it to $8 to earn that $0.40 rake. So you will end playing a lot of hands that get raked $0.05 or $0.10 perhaps and maybe once in a blue-moon get a hand big enough to actually earn a point.

Obviously at .05/.10 NL you aren't going to earn many points at all because there aren't going to be many pots that make it to the magical $8 mark.
