How are double shootouts more +EV than large field MTTs.

Players making general satellite mistakes = more +EV than your ability to play heads up.

now how about regular steps if they got the [censored] coded now

Not to speak for whatever jackal was talking about, but last year anyway there were a decent amount of satelliters to each DS, and the play was just fantastically bad at the first table, in my experience playing a bunch anyway. I dunno what the play was like in the weekly $650 ones, but it's hard to imagine it came very close to the awesome stinkiness of the shootouts. For me the value of the shootouts had nothing to do with HU, just the field (unsure whether they are as soft post-legislation, I haven't played any yet).

Re: Steps on Stars
 

On that same logic, how soft will you assume a 215 will be 36 hours from now after people buying in for 7.50/27 dollars filter into it?

ummm.. i really don't wanna play an SnG where some of my equity is in the form of tickets to SnGs with like 1/10 the BI....

Re: Steps on Stars
 

Maybe soft, but let's face it, between the legislation and the amount of training sites teaching proper SNG strat, SNGs in general are way tougher than a year ago at this time, so I dunno if the 215s will be THAT soft (and as I said, I don't know for sure what the shootouts are like this year), but let's hope! My guess will be they are likely to be equal toughness to whatever the double shootouts are like this year. I'm buying more W$, I'll put it that way.

I don't think any of them have this, you just move down like 1 step usually. Oh wait the 215s do yeah, but it's only 1 spot. Ehh, yeah that's not optimal, but you couldn't give up this aspect but still get lots of guys satt-ing up from $7.50s too right?

Re: Steps on Stars
 

Step 6 is the killer, would be nice if 4-6 got a step 5 or 6 ticket again kind of deal. Obviously need a higher buy in, but 4th in a step 6 tourney= suicide watch

Re: Steps on Stars
 

wow, this thread gave me a huge boner

Re: Steps on Stars
 

I'm not at home to check, but you are getting points when you step??? Will be a nice way to accumulate points at way higher sngs than I would normally play.
