I still don't understand the 'rake-trap' argument.
If I tried my own personal-steps via whatever cash SNG's I want to play doesn't the rake work out the same.

Some reasons why I dig steps:
- Some pretty good players don't like the idea of being trapped in them. Some of these good players makes the fields a bit weaker.
- The different pay-out structure can really tend to mess up some players who don't know how to properly adjust compared with a regular SNG 50/30/20 pay-format. Their uncomfortability is my gain.

I do think the final step is going to be tough if I'm stuck competing with a bunch of bigjoe type SNG experts. But it's possible this might be made up by the positive EV of the weaker fields in the earlier rounds if I'm correct about that.
Not sure on that though. Will probably play around with them some more and see where it goes.
