Well so far i invested about $75.00 i have one seat step 6 and got one step 5.
i played step 5. I had pocket AA under the gun, with pocket 10's
he turned the 10 i was eliminated.
very good investment for my part soooo far.
will play moree.
hey i have a few other who are trying to get to step 6, we can all play the same table same time. this will gurantee one of us, and also we can make some sort of deal. sooo once you get your seats ppll maybe keep it dont play it till later.
OMG. So I open a step 6 on Stars to see what the action is and it is down to 4 handed. I say to myself, "Self...I wonder what kind of history these guys have? I believe I will sharkscope them!"

FWIW dmmikkel when out 4th.
Yeah thats Dag Martin Mikkelsen and he's having a good run of it the last year or so.
lol...
Was in a 10$ SNG yesterday (I'm now officially on break)
I'm 2nd biggest stack at the table, big stack (donk...) has like 300 more chips than I do.
Get QQ, I raise he calls ok...
Flop is bunch of low card but all clubs... I bet he calls... turn is harmless I bet he calls... river K
I have like close ot no chip leftso... what the hell if he has KK or AK guess I'll pack.
NO... he has K9o
his K was club... he's like duh, I HAD to call with the flush draw! (WTF was the call PF with your shit hand).
anyways... I shark him up... he's more than 4k in the hole playing 10$ sng ... yep... that gave me the answer I wanted... the day I'll be 4k in the hole I'll stop playing poker lol.
Edit... back on topic...
The step 6 deal sounds sweet ... if I ever make it that far I'll let you know
I believe poker star change the rules for winning step 6.
Once you win Step 6. they dont register you for wsop. they actually deposit the funds to u r account. this means you can do what ever you want with your $12500. If you decided to play wsop then you must call and register your self, you get the money and you take care of how u get there, hotel and main even entry your self. SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.
FIRST TIME YOU WIN U GET 12500
AFTER THAT ANY MORE WIN YOU GET 10,000.
I don't know if thats completely right either, but could be. I think they put $11.5k in your account right away (due to no 3rd party registrations for wsop). Then you get the option of either taking free hotel stay for the ME period or $1k cash after proof of registration.
All I know is that if you get in through the cash qualifiers, like the steps program, and you wear the pokerstars branded hat and shirt they comp your hotel... so as long as you keep wearing their stuff they will give you a place to stay. And if you decide not to wear it then they give you 1k, which is credited to your account it looks like... takes like 5 days after you get to Vegas and all that.
As for the the actual buyin and spending money... well better if you just read it lol:
The first time that a player wins a Qualifier, the prize which that player wins is the entry fee to the Event (US$10,000) plus US$2,500 spending money for the Event. The prize will be deposited into the player’s PokerStars account. If a player wins additional Qualifiers, that player's PokerStars account will be credited with W$10,000 and that player will receive US$2,500 in cash.
Now I really like the bonus`s for wearing the hat and shirt if you are at a televised table...
You cannot withdraw either but you can sell it. There are mins to maxs to selling it as well. T$ stands for tournament dollars and can be used to buyin to any tournament. W$ is the same thing except it can only be used for special tournaments, ie WSOP, WCOOP, etc.
Good morning all. well i been busy with poker stars, this is the first year im playing at poker stars with real money. I LOVE THIS STEP IDEA. i get to play soo much poker with little money invested and a goal in mind.
I won a seat to step 5 late last night. So i got a wicked chance to get my second step 6. I think poker star should change this rule. it should be transferable....
i might play my step 5 today. oo yea this one didnt cost me anything i start with my fpps. (500)

Prob not. All the ept steps became future ept step tickets. Plus if they were cashable, they would most likely make them $W instead.

GOOD LUCK.
Get a bunch of forumers to play a step 6 together and agree to share a piece of the winner at the WSOP.
P.S. Your Avatar rocks Game.
CCCHHHHAAAAAAARRRRRKKKKK!!!!
too bad you can't cash the step 5 $700 tickets, would be a great way to make a large amount of cash until the wsop

Sure, that's the grinding aspect of poker that you don't see on the glamorous poker shows -- this is the real thing, the daily grind
