Trying a step I.Is the play in these awful and are they a good way to make $$?No point in me actually going for the seat as I'm not old enough.
They arent really a good way to make money. You need to get all the way to step 6 to get anything out of it. If you can get that far on say 50 bucks then yea, but you cant sell tickets or anything.

You weren't that desperate yet, why did you go with 22 there?
Best hand I've had all SnG (no joke). Turbo structure, I can't really afford to wait for hands, I had been waiting for hands all SnG and it got me to that point.Sigh. I swear I get so impatient in these things.

Yeah he was in mine and I beat him HU.I don't think he is cause doing so is stupid, $2,100 buyin and its only $1,500 for first.But i definately think he starts at like Step 4
Isn't it actually 12.5k to 1st?They buy in direct because it is basically playing as a winner take all SNG style, with a lot of lower-skilled players winning their way through the steps, giving the big time players like mig.com (James Mackey-$5k WSOP bracelet winner, WCOOP $1k winner) a HUGE adv. over the rest.

Well, at this point, for most of the "pros" playing it, it's W$10k + $2500 cash, which would be about $1k or so less. But it's almost certainly still +ev for them to play it.

my bad. I meant its only 1.5k to 2nd. meaning even you need to win at least 1 in 6 to profit.
