|
I recently started playing at pokerstars, only played the .10/.20 limit game so
far. I've played somewhere around 500 hands and i have yet to accumilate 1 FPP
haha. Is it really that hard to obtain FPP at stars?

Stars totally fucks micro limit players when it comes to FPP's. You pay
rake out the ass over the long haul, and you get nothing in return as far as
FPP's are concerned.

You won't ever accumulate any at that level.
http://www.pokerstars.com/fpp/
1. Earn FPPs for cash game play
First Frequent Player Point (FPP) is awarded for playing a hand in which the
rake reaches:
* $0.40 for fixed limit poker games with stakes $1/$2 and lower
* $0.40 for NL/PL poker games with blinds $1/$2 and lower
* $1.00 for all other games
Second FPP is awarded for playing a hand in which the rake reaches:
* $2.00 for all 6-max tables (this doesn't apply for games being played 6-
handed at 10/9/8 player tables - just 6-max tables)
* $3.00 for all other tables
Third FPP is awarded for playing a hand in which the rake reaches $5.00.
2. Earn FPPs for tournament play
Five (5) FPPs are awarded for each $1 in tournament fees paid.

In reality, collecting FPPs is insanely slow anywhere below 2/4. At
5 points per $1 of tournament fee, though, you can collect them pretty
quickly playing SNGs.

The rake in a fixed limit game of $1/$2 or lower must be $0.40 to earn a
FPP.
According to the rake page on PokerStars.com, the maximum rake for a
$0.10/$0.20 limit game is $0.20. Therefore, it is impossible to earn any
FPPs at that limit.
The size of the pot must be $8 or more, and you must play at $0.25/$0.50
fixed limit or higher for a chance to earn any FPPs.

Stars does not give out fractional points and thus you have to have a
$20 pot to make one point, which is hard enough to do in the micro no
limit games, let alone limit play. Contrast this to FullTilt, where they
award .05 points for every $1 pot, which accumulates nicely at any level
of play.
