serge 904 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I have set aside 200 myself. I was thinking maybe banging through 200 worth of step 1's probably next tuesday, my kid is on Spring break so I can't really focus until that day. Anyway, bang out the step ones, bang out 2s another day, etc.I am doing a similar thing with 20000 fpps...gonna play a total of 40..Played 19 so far...8 step 2s and 3 step 1s so far...

XXEddie 0 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 HOLY **** Congrats XXEddie!!!I'm thinking about doing $150 worth of Step 1's...(20) or just do 8 Step 2's and see where I go from there.I am really not a fan of the turbo structure, but it's worth a shot.Which would you guys think is easier to do?Steps 4, 5 and 6 have a standard SnG structure(10 min blinds) with step 6 also giving you 3k in chips. Which is a good reason I started from Step 3 this time, and went 3-4-5-6-Win, never not advancing Link to post Share on other sites

freak2304 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 HOLY **** Congrats XXEddie!!!I'm thinking about doing $150 worth of Step 1's...(20) or just do 8 Step 2's and see where I go from there.I am really not a fan of the turbo structure, but it's worth a shot.Which would you guys think is easier to do?I was trying to figure this one out too. After playing 4 step 1's, I have a 1st, 4th, 5th, & 5th (small sample size, obv.). I'm thinking of setting aside enough for 10 step 2's, and going at it that way....either way, Thursday will probably be decision/play day. After I do whatever I choose, that will be all I'll invest towards the steps, and try some MTT's, as I feel I have a better edge that way. GL everybody. Link to post Share on other sites

Elo and AG 0 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Been out for awhile and noticed the steps to the WSOP just yesterday......First of all, a big congrats Eddie. Job well done and a very nice cash.Entered a step 1 yesterday with 500 FPP, and this is my quest so far:500 FPP step 1 (win) -> Step 2 (4th) -> Step 2 (win) -> on to step 3........ Would'nt it be cool to have a seat worth $12500 to the WSOP just by spending 500 FPP's lol......Good luck to everyone trying to get one......Peace out Link to post Share on other sites
