BobVersion1 0 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Has anyone tried the $55 Quad shoot outs 4 Max where the winner goes to the WSOP Main Event? I would think think there would be more qualifyers then there is by now... Link to post Share on other sites

zoo 0 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Just curious if any one has been thinking of just doing your own 'steps' with regular SNGs. I am considering this. Try and build up as much as possible. The big downside I see to this is the level of competition in the higher buyin SNGs but the steps might be just as tough in the later rounds.

Jujoki3 0 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 um, it won't be worth it because there'll be no donks in the higher SNGs, plus itll always be top 3 pay..and not top 5 or 6. Link to post Share on other sites

southsidepoker 0 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 ok I got like $700w right now from winning small buyin large field mtt's . I am thinking i might use all of this for the steps? Seems like my best chance instead of playing the large buyin mtt super type satellites. ? Maybe start at step 2 if I fail off this step one ticket? Thoughts or reccomendations on this?
