Any one try this games?, how hard become from $26 and above?.

Saturday when was in 4kp game try a step 1 $3 buyin game with 18 players and win my ticket for step 2, play is really bad (worst than the normal $2 buyin games), then today i try my step 2 ticket again in 18 players, ended in top 5 and win a step 3 ticket. step 2 is a $8.70 buyin (or previews step win) so was expecting at least a more decent play like the $5 normal games but it wasn´t.

So, now have the choice to play step 3 or to play a normal $26 game. I am realistic and know that make no sense to go for step 4 ($75 buyin) or further (for me of course), but not sure about step 3. Only time that play a $20 buyin or above was the doyles bounty last year, make it to the cash but can´t compare cake play to Fulltilt.

So not sure on this, do i try a $26 normal game (can be S&G or MTT) or try to go for the $75 ticket playing the step 3?

I check out the 18 players in step 3 and pay top 8, but check the 6 max game and pay top5, 4th and 5th get step 2, 3rd and 2nd get same step 3 and first get step 4. with top5 pays of 6 players chances don´t look that bad, but, even if manage to win a step 4 and play a normal $75 game, im guessing that will be harder to cash any $ than in a $26 game.

It make any sense?.

3rd option could be wait to see if can get a couple more of step 3 tickets and try both choices?.

Any one have any input on this?.

Logan I'd go for the next level. In fact I'd try to go all the way to the top at least once. You can easily start again and then use the ticket else where as you are likely to get to the same level again.

Until you try the higer steps at least once you can't be sure they are beyond your level of play. I don't think they are. Remember the players who have won the WOSP starting from a 5$ or less online tourny.

a lot of sites are all doing some kind of step package these days. difficult to say who's got the best 1 offered. personally, i do like this 1 the best. that seems like sound advice to me.

I guess you are right and should try at least once the next steps, Al, but not sure about go all the way, at least for me i like more to get the $12,000 in cash that a package for Wsop.

Will try this weekend to play a couple more step 1 games and see how it go, if get another step 3 will try the $26 and also the step 4.

Thanks.

At sites where I played any kind of step tournaments, they didn't allow you to opt out and play in an equivalent buyin tournament or cash out at whatever level you are on. I made it to step 3 on doyle, which was a 25 dollar buyin, and would of much rather played in a reg 25 dollar sit n go and get out of the steps, though I guess whats the pt of starting them if you're not going to try and finish. I think I'll try the fulltilt ones though.
