What's faster to get FPP? 6-max or full ring?

Need to know to grind out my deposit bonuses
Edit: also anyone know how it's even calculated?
Is it different per site? How does a big site like Stars do it?

6 max

Not to get all nit picky but there have been so many threads where this has been discussed , calculated as well as the poker site on which you play on telling you exactly what it is .....

Anyway if you're just starting out full ring is probably a better idea than 6max regardless of the increase in speed at which you'll clear your bonuses because it'll be easier... in regards to playing less hands getting in less tricky spots etc

^I'm generalising but hopefully you get the general idea.

thats true, especially since the PS bonus is so laughably small.

You can clear the FTP bonus in < a month at FR with medium volume (only took me like 46k hands), but the terms on FTP are pretty easy compared to some other sites. The Cake network also uses pretty much the same formula as FTP (and they also have MUCH better rakeback), but most other sites use a stupid contributed rake plan that takes forever to clear bonuses regardless of whether you play FR or 6max, although 6max is generally faster. You can see how you need to clear the bonus for a site on its website or just email them asking how.

fullring has to produce more fpps than six max per hand there are more people to initiate a rake hand

play 24 tables 6max and you will have a ton of fpps in no time btw you will probably get busto in the process

24tabling 6max, yes, thats the solution

6m = more fpp/ time unit
FR = better rakeback

What stakes do you play?
Anything over 50NL your better of playing poker and making money compared to breaking even and getting a shitload of RB

I'm on .10/.20 right now (on cake) and I'm trying to clear a $500 bonus.
Gonna add enough to play NL50 in a week or two once my check from Stars arrives.
Until then, grinding NL20.

Gonna try to clear $500 bonus before worrying about rakeback, which I don't think should even be a goal of any sort, just a nice bonus.

I woud definitely say Cake is your best option. Terrible players at all levels and some sick RB.

Does cake allow US players?

RING

well i dont know but this might help

if u want to know how many VPPs you earn at 200NL FR, divide it by 2. So if you play 10k hands, u earn roughly 5k VPPs

same for NL200 6m

I've done the NL200-FPP test several times and I always get FPPs in 44% of the hands played instead of the 50% that you are saying. Tests may change obv
