garnes44 0 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Gonna actually attempt to get a seat this year. Played step 1 and took it down...horrible players.If I get a seat it will be with a BR of about $150. I know, I know, BR management but I gotta take a shot sometime and I am tired of micro-grinding.Garnes Link to post Share on other sites
Ecclesbury 0 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Thought I would have a go at this and won a STEP 1. Decided to play a few more Step 1's, but when I went back to the Lobby there were no WSOP cash step touraments open to register in?There seems to be only a step 3 and step 4 FPP tournies open for registration.Anyone know why this might be, am I just being stupid?

Turbo Dog 1 Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 Way off in what sense? Pokerdb tracks only your MTTs. Does not track STTs or cash games. I guess you can use sharkscope but most of the players in the higher step levels are regular MTT players.Off by at least $11,000 from a WSOP satellite I won a while back that wasn't included. But that might be all. I didn't actually read the FAQ or anything. I know that the MTT SnG number was wrong unless it only includes 180's or something. I played a lot of 18 and 45 man SnG's a while back and if they are supposed to be included, it's wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
