***Official FTP Regs Thread***

The FTP 1/2 games are GARBAAAAAAGE.

Compared to Stars, rakeback isn't worth the massive hit in win rate.

And for whatever reason the FTP 2/4 games are considerably softer than the 1/2.

.5/1 and .25/.5 are ridiculously soft. I just suck right now at them.

anyone here a reg in the 8/16 and 10/20 games? Just wondering if you are finding a any significant difference in the game quality between the two levels. I feel like I've been able to find better games at 8/16 so far, but there doesn't seem to be too much of a difference.

I am not a reg but I used to play those games quite a bit. Not much difference IMO.

I usually only play at Svenska Spel but for some change I've played some on FTP where I have an account with about 30% rb I think. The 2/4 game that I've played seems pretty soft and profitable. Then Shane says that even without RB PS 2/4 is much easier to beat. Does anyone else have an opinion? Oh and I probably wont play that much to earn those points or whatever it's called at PS, I think I'll probably only play some 10K hands or so a month. I only want a decent site to play when traffic is to low at SS.

if I was going to play a ton of hands on one site I think I would pick stars. The fpp pays out better than most rakeback deals if you grind a ton. But for a medium amount of hands per month I think it is pretty close. The stars games are definitely softer (I've played a few k hands over there) than the FTP ones, but the contributed RB is worth over 1BB/100 at 2/4 and that is tough to make up.

I would say it is close, and it really just depends on whether you like the security of gettin that RB payment every month, or you would rather go with the easier games where you will likely have a higher winrate.

[Gurravasa]

how many hand should you play every month to make PS points program be worth more than 30% rb on FTP?

[thepizzlefosho]

not sure. you would have to talk to the stars regs. I would guess at least 20k, but that really isn't based on anything.
