Message: [QUOTE="GabryRox, post: 703211, member: 32590"] I'm relatively new to online poker, but PS's FPP thing was one of the first things that I analyzed. When I looked at the prizes you could purchase with your FPP's, I became curious as to about how much real $ value each FPP held. By pricing several of the higher-end items like iPods, TV's, cash bonusses, etc (in the 17-50,000 FPP range), I determined that each FPP is worth about 1 to 1.3 cents (depending on prize and VIP level). At first appearance, this doesn't seem that great. However, it can be much better if you achieve one of the higher VIP status. Currently, I am at Silver, which means I accrue FPP's at a 1.5x factor. I was trying to get to Gold this month to get the 2x factor, but encountered a downswing and I don't think risking more money to loss is worth it. To me, if you are a winning player and can get to Gold level, you'll probably be able to pull some nice prizes/bonuses (that's my goal for 1st qtr 2008). I've been able to accumulate the most FPP while playing $.50/$1.00 FL Omaha Hi-Lo. I'll have to check my PTO data to see the %, but it seems like on a good table, over 50-60% of the hands get at least 1FPP and maybe 5% or so get into the 2-3 FPP range (mostly 2's). The thing that really frustrates me is that for Omaha players, there are not a lot of decent FPP options for SnG's on PS. The only ones I've been able to get into only give 1 FPP and for about 1 hour's play, that stinks. I usually ramp up on SnG action when I'm on a downswing at ring games, but the low FPP rate is kind of a bummer. I guess it's just more evidence that 99%+ of the online players HEAVILY prefer hold'em, especially when you get into the higher limits. I'd love to get into a $3-$10 Omaha tournament, but there just doesn't seem to be enough interest. [/QUOTE]
