What is this obsession will free stuff? These people are in business to make money, not to make you happy. The only thing that drives business people to give-aways or more benefits is when the competition starts to take their customers away. As long as they have plenty of satisfied customers, they don't need to provide give-aways and you can be sure that they won't.

Personally, I think PokerStars runs a good site; as good or better than the others I've been to. They have plenty of games and enough levels so that just about anyone can find a comfortable or challenging game. They have several free-roll satellite tournaments every day that give nine players a chance to play in a real-money tournament without risking a cent.

The FPPs seem to add up the same way the money does for good players. The better you do in big tournaments, the more you win at higher buy-in tables, the more of the points you have. I've heard of players (not me, unfortunately) with thousands of the points. I'm sure they wish they could sell em on Ebay or something, they'd probably have even more $, although most of them don't need it.

It doesnt matter how long you play for in these cash ring games or tournament games. For Cash ring games. You'll notice that it says for NO LIMIT games it's atleast a $1 dollar rake to get 1 fpp point, Now consider how PS gets that $1 rake. It takes an amount equal to 20 dollars in the pot for them to achieve the $1 rake, which in turn gives you 1FPP. Now if you only see like a 10 dollar pot or 19 dollar point. You wont get the FPP. For example SNGs $5.50 give you like 3FPP points right when you buy in. Bottom line is. If you want to get FPP points for EACH hand you go into, Make sure the pot exceeds $20, Everyone involved in the $20 pot recieves 1FPP. Hope that helps

Plus, you can use them to enter satellites and/or buy stuff with them in the FPP store

You actually only get 3 FPP for the 5.50 buyins, I do them frequently and I am sure of this.
