I have always wanted to try to work out a system where I could use them to enter bigger buy-in tournies at a discount.

Something like - Play 10 step one games - earns 5 step two tickets - earns 3 step three tickets - earns one step 4 ticket ($215 buyin), so for $75 in buy-ins, I won a $215 buyin

Sounds like something I may work on, leading up to the $10million GTD tourny

If you run perfect, this sounds great. I didn't know you could use these tickets outside of the system. I think I'm going to make a run for the 10M Sunday million with the steps program.

Round #1 Notes: Registration took forever! Found the play was very loose! Basic SNG strategy worked very well.

I would suggest playing all your Round 1 games first, gives you more chances at round 2.

OK, I'll give this a try. My thoughts are different on this, but what the hell its only $37.50

RAM_Eh

what I did a while back was built up 3-4 2nd level tickets and then played all of them to build up 3-4 3rd level tickets and so on... I eventually got 3 $215.00 tickets which I used for the sunday million.

Completed game three. Finished 3rd for another replay. Check original post for the series details.

Keep it going. I have no doubt you will win your buy-in into the $10mil tourney for a fraction of the cost.

I'll see if I can match you, after completing my 100 games of $3.50 SNGs.

Sounds Good.. Another 3rd for a replay in game 4.

Game #5- Out in 6th! Lost a third of my chips with AhKh vs. 99 on a board of Qh, Qc, 4h, Qs, 6h. Then I made a dumb call for all of my chips with 77 in BB(20bb) when the SB Pushed with KJ off. King on the flop and I'm Out! On to the next game.

Probably not if you are single tabling vs sng pros at the higher levels.

RWPKRPLR

That's why I'm trying to mini version of DJ wrote earlier in this thread. I may consider opening up a couple more step one games if I get 3 step two tickets, just to give me a better shot.

I would doubt the SNG pros are playing steps, you don't get any money from them, just tickets to bigger buy-in tournies. Maybe some of the MTT pros are using them, but again, if they have been successful tourney players, they would just buy-in directly.

Oh, used to be there were top steps that went to major BI live games. These are just cash steps?
