aussiedonk 0 Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I am up to step 5 too. But every time I go to register there is an all-star cast waiting for me. I think I will qualify for as many step 5s as I can and then play them all on Sundays when the donks are out. Link to post Share on other sites

Just update the percentages to your average finish rate and add back the steps from the later levels to update the previous levels.Step 1:How many times on average are you gonna finish top 1 or 2 and move to step 2How many times on average are you gonna finish 3rd and repeat step 1Step 2:How many times on average are you gonna finish top 1 or 2 and move to step 3How many times on average are you gonna finish 3rd or 4th and repeat step 2How many times on average are you gonna finish 5th and repeat step 1Step 3:How many times on average are you gonna finish top 1 or 2 and move to step 4How many times on average are you gonna finish 3rd or 4th or 5th and repeat step 3Step 4:How many times on average are you gonna finish top 1 or 2 and move to step 5How many times on average are you gonna finish 3rd and repeat step 4How many times on average are you gonna finish 4th or 5th and repeat step 3How many times on average are you gonna finish 6th and repeat step 2Step 5:How many times on average are you gonna finish top 1 or 2 and move to step 6How many times on average are you gonna finish 3rd or 4th and repeat step 5How many times on average are you gonna finish 5th or 6th and repeat step 4Step 6:How many times on average are you gonna finish first for the seatHow many times on average are you gonna finish 2nd or 3rd for $1500 and are you going to reinvest that back into any other steps? if so what step will you start at?How many times on average are you gonna finish 4th or 5th for $1000 and are you going to reinvest that back into any other steps? if so what step will you start at?How many times on average are you gonna finish 6th for $500 and are you going to reinvest that back into any other steps? if so what step will you start at?

BobVersion1 0 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Didn't know these existed... are they in the Events>WSOP tab?Sorry it took so long to respond Beav, I saw them on just the regular tournament listing right at the top... Tourney and the all tab selected and it's right at the top...Only 56 have qualifyed from it which kind of surprises me.. Link to post Share on other sites
Jam-Fly 8 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 never, ever, ever call there....ever.why? Link to post Share on other sites
Jam-Fly 8 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 OK, according to my crazy, ****ed up, pen + paper math, you need to play step 945 times in order to win 3 tickets to step 6. I'm sure the one massive flaw in my workings is that I don't include the tickets you win finishing 3-6 in any step. Also, my odds of finishing top two in a step are probably a little generous. So, FWIW...Goal is to obtain 3 tickets to step 6Step 63 tickets neededStep 5Odds of winning 3.5-1Number of times needed to play: 14 timesStep 4Odds of winning 3-1Number of times needed to play: 42 timesStep 3Odds of winning 2.5-1 Number of times needed to play 105 timesStep 2Odds of winning 2-1 Number of times needed to play 315 timesStep 1Odds of winning 2-1Number of times needed to play 945Eh, so how inaccurate is that?
