This should be interesting, TB. Out of morbid curiosity I popped into PT and randomly looked at four $25NL games and found together I was averaging about 11 FPPs per hour (50 FPPs for 4.5 hours). Didn't look at any other levels, but your post above got me curious.

Yeah, I'd estimate 4 or 5 FPPs per hour at $10NL, ob more as you go up. Below $10NL it'll be pretty slim pickings.

**NOTE - sitting at a table you are not properly rolled for with a minimum buy in is NOT recommended. If the rampaging contest proved anything, it's that rampaging is a losing practice (for the majority who tried) and is horrible BR management.

Just to clarify this, "participation" means that you were dealt cards, nothing more. As long as you received cards, even if you mucked immediately, you are considered participating in the hand. Which is also part of the reason that if you sit out in a ring game you'll notice that it skips you all together and you don't get cards.

Does this mean I get 1 FPP every time for it happening or only once? And then the 2nd FPP once I get to that and the 3rd FPP once I get to a $5 rake? Or is it 1FPP EVERY time this happens at the table?

What are you considering playing?
If it's 1/2 or lower, then basically 1 FPP for every hand where the rake is at least 0.40, which happens if the pot is $8~9 or so, I don't remember the exact amount. Unless you're planning to play pretty significant stakes, don't worry about the 2nd FPP. Keep in mind the 1st, 2nd and 3rd FPPS are per hand. Every time this happens at a table when you were dealt cards, you get FPPs.
Or, for each dollar you pay to buy into a SnG you get one, so a $5 + 0.50 gives you 5 FPPS.
I guess if you just want FPPS, you could buy in minimum at at least a $10NL table, push the top 5 hands, fold everything else and collect FPPs off everyone elses play. I dunno if that would be cost effective. Or much fun. But in theory it might work.
