Im alarmed at how little Fpps im gaining at pokerstars compared to Titan..Is it simply because they rake less?

Take this example at 2NL.

Titan - hands 1190, Rake - $2.99, MGR - $3.47
Stars - Hands 1144, Rake - $1.35, MGR - $1.59

I know its a small sample and your never going to earn many points at 2NL but the difference is huge in my eyes.

wots a MGR?

take the low rake screw the points. stars lo rake and bonus (disguised rakeback) system works best IMHO.

Tried em all. I think Stars is finally getting it...

(Sure someone will correct me if I am wrong)

Thanks for the response.

MGR 'monthly gross rake' is listed next to the 'rake' column on Pokertracker.

When you win a big pot and pay rake its listed on the 'rake' column.

However if someone else wins a big pot (that you werent even involved in) you get a portion of the rake in the 'MGR' column.

I'm not sure how titan's rake works but at stars they don't rake pots under $1. At 2nl most pots are less than $1 so "no rake". I know fulltilt starts raking pots that are over 15cents. It works out to be 5-6bb/100 higher win rate at stars as opposed fulltilt. So just because your not paying the same rake doesn't make it a bad thing.

umm who cares about FPPs when you're paying less than half the rake.
