Stars changes FPP system

#1 1st August 2009, 6:16 PM

I have noticed that Stars has changed how it gives out FPP's it has adopted a similar style to Full Tilt, so you dont need to have atleast a $8 pot to get a FPP Should help the micro grinders gather some points.

Pretty good feature tbh.

thoughts?

If Stars ever created a rakeback program for existing players, they would greatly increase their profits.

#3 1st August 2009, 8:31 PM

Cool. When did they change it? I don't play often on stars. Was just playing some micro cash last night and noticed I had .26 FPP lol.

#4 1st August 2009, 8:32 PM

I agree, it's great not to have to be involved in a 8$ pot to get some points

And I also agree it would be greater it they finally allow rakeback

#5 1st August 2009, 9:43 PM

Yeah, it helped me finally complete my first deposit bonus. Without the change, I'd still be plugging away at it -- slowly.

I'm still waiting for the 150 fpp they promised me for completing a online survey they sent me. It's been a month now and still no fpp. lmao What a rip off.

is it only on the 6 max tables?

#8 3rd August 2009, 11:15 AM

I thought you always could get fpp from small pot. I think they just show the partial fpp now. Because i've only been playing 5/10 NL and managed to get 500 FPP from mainly 1-3 pots.

#9 3rd August 2009, 11:25 AM

where did you get this from I cant find anything on this?

#10 3rd August 2009, 2:23 PM

This is definitely a step in the right direction for stars. A link or something would be appreciated though so we can read the news if available.
Thanks for the info!

#11 3rd August 2009, 5:48 PM

I will try to find an artcile on this. i only said this because i have noticed the .34 on my FPP status. GKH i dont think they used to give you FPP for small pots just one for when it reached $8 on lower limits and $20 on higher limits.

pretty cool more fpps yay!

BTW, this is not the way FullTilt awards points. FTP awards 1 point per $1 of rake to all players dealt cards, regardless of how many where involved. So PS and FTP only give the exact same number of points when 5 players exactly are dealt cards. For 6 or more, FTP gives more points, for 4 or less, PS gives more.

A priori, the change looks like a good deal for microplayers as well as for HU and 6max players, and a pretty poor deal for full ring players.

qft.

Kind of makes me want to learn some 6max play...

btw they added this to the vpps for micro FR and limit fr players.

Full Ring Limit tables up to 25c/50c
Full Ring No-Limit tables up to 5c/10c

i understand. you lost your shirt playing tournaments - hence your avatar - and that makes you grumpy...

I am going to create a tournament reward system and present it to Pokerstars. They will love it so much they will implement it and give me a bunch of free entries to the Sunday million which I will eventually win.
