    Is it quicker to get FPPs by playing 3 tables of say 50 1.00 NL or 6 tables of .25 .50 NL on stars??

    Good question, I have no clue, but I'd go ahead and guess the 6 tables of .25/.50 would be quicker.

    If the average pot sizes of the bigger tables are twice the size of the smaller tables as you would expect, then I would think they would earn FPPs at identical rates.

    For games 1/2 and under you get 1fpp for 40 cents in rake so the six tables would get you more fpps...you get another fpp when it reaches 2 dollars in rake (40 dollar pot). It wouldnt be alot more I dont think because the the 50/1 game would reach the 40 cent and 2 dollar rake more frequently.

    So you are saying that unless the .50 1.00 NL table(s) have pots that hit 40 dollars regularly, then 3 tables of that would be better than 6 @ .25 50??? However, otherwise 6 smaller versus 3 larger SHOULD be the same in getting fpps?

    I 8 table 1/2 limit to rack up fpps and its more efficient then playing 2/4 because you need 40 cents of rake to get 1 fpp and at 2/4 you need 1 dollar of rake to get 1 fpp. The second fpp isnt earned enough at 2/4 to put it ahead of 1/2. Im dont play alot of NL but I assume 6 tabling would be more efficient at earning the first fpp and would periodically earn the second. You would earn the second more ofter at the higher level but not enough to compensate the fewer tables being played.
