    <p> Very cool work graps. I noticed that when I play HORSE cash games the FPPs add up pretty quick.</p>

    <p>I was kinda surprised too that the turbo SNGs don't produce as many FPPs either.  I made an assumption that the average turbo takes about 40 minutes, and being a good player, your average life in one is a little more than half of that time.</p>

    <p>FPPs are not necessarily good, especially at FTP.  $1 in rake in  every cash game is a FPP at FTP.  Also in split pot games, the pot is often divided making them even harder to beat the rake. I would also consider 1-2 nl equivilent to a 3-6 limit game since the cost per round in blinds are similar.  FPPs would be similar for those games.  It would be better to play 9 handed vs. 6 handed for FPPs, since FPPS are determined by the pot rake.  What would be more impressive stat is possible win rate per hand for the game you play.  To me that would be non-turbo rebuy MTTs.  But, thanks for the stats.</p>

    <p>awesome graps have been looking for some concrete numbers on this. Is $3/$6 limit too large for a $2k roll?</p>

    <p>Dissident, I've always followed the 300 big bet rule for limit games...so for me, 3/6 is fine on a $2k roll.  If anyone wanted to be more conservative than that, I'd never argue with them.  But I'd never go higher.</p>

    <p>nice article, though the conclusions are somewhat misleading, as 20-tabling turbo SNG's is a definite possibility, while 20-tabling LHE is not (same goes for comparing other game types)</p>
