Well with my being an RPG player as well, I have tried to understand your thinking on this, and see if it had any bearing at all with all the aspects at the poker table. I think that I've come to the conclusion that RPG formats just don't fit very well with poker...simply because there are just way too many variables to consider.
In RPGs, you've got your HP, MP, LP etc, and if yours is higher than your opponent you win, but if yours is lower than the opponent you lose. I suppose one could warp it and say that your chip stack could be your HP/MP/LP or whatever, but even then there are still too many variables to make it work, because every player in poker doesn't necessarily win just because their chip stack or "HP" is higher, as would be the case in an RPG. Also, RPG enemies usually use the same set tactics or attacks to beat you. Poker players vary way too often to be able to use RPG format to try to beat them.
Also, in RPGs you tend to get to know your enemies...their strengths and weaknesses, so you pretty much know how to beat them without having to put too much thought into it. You don't often get this chance playing poker, primarily at cash tables, because people get up and sit down every few minutes, so the field is constantly changing. In tournaments, you can get to know a few players, but not all of them, so the ones you don't know are going to be the ones to manipulate and exploit your HP, or in your case FP (fold points) way of thinking.
So, although I tried to give you the benefit of the doubt and tried to understand the thought process behind your theory, I just can't see it as being highly profitable over the long term. There are just toooooo many variables involved.
