Pokerstars FPP

[l0gician]

I'm wondering if you get partial points for ring games under .40 rake and $1/$2 (limit) below? Maybe I'm missing it but I can't see where they actually answer this question.

No, PS does not offer partial points. I think its:

40c rake - 1 FPP
$1 rake - 2 FPP
$3 rake - 3 FPP

Are we sure about that? My wife played the $1+.20 SnGs for awhile on Stars and she earned FPPs nonetheless. Or are the rules different for SnGs?

Sooooted is close, but not quite.

A $0.40 rake table for $1/2 limit and $1/$2 NL blinds and below (including HU) and $1 for all other games gives 1 FPP.

A $2 rake for all 6 max tables and a $3 rake for all other tables is 2 FPP.

A $5 rake gives 3 FPP (any game).

Tournaments/SNGs are much different. It's 5 FPPs for every $1 in tournament/SNG rake. So for the $1.20's, you'd be getting $0.20 rake, which would equate out to 1 FPP per SNG.

Yes, since they round tourney fpp's up I was wondering if they gave partial points for cash then. Obviously not : \

One more question. Everyone that was dealt into the hand gets the points right, no matter if you folded pre? If that is true it seems like play $1/$2 limit, one would be raking in the points like mad.

any1?

[JSmith2007]

Not sure, I've never really paid attention, but if I had to guess, I believe you have to see a flop to earn FPPs.

At 1-2 limit and below everyone who is dealt cards gets one FPP for any pot that is raked 40 cents or more. At 2-4 limit it takes the minimum rake of one dollar to give everyone one FPP.

If you don't see a flop, the pot is not raked, so no FPP. I don't have any experience with Limit, but I know that the number of pots which have at least $.40 rake increases from 50NL to 100NL to 200NL. Even at 200NL, its only around 0.6 FPP/hand because some hands never see a flop.
