Re: Step 6 is 18 entries

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?

No. You're ever so slightly better off playing Steps. I'm surprised nobody noticed this, but the reasons are two-fold.
1) The rake is ever so slightly lower in the steps.
$7+$0.50. The closest SNG is $6+$6.50.
2) There's a slight overlay in a couple of the events,
such as $0.50 added to each Step 2. (See "Tournament
Info" just under the betting structure).
Those tiny add-ons make it possible to avoid almost all "residual" bubble payouts in cash, and keep all prizes as tickets to future steps except the $1.50 for a third place finish in Step 1... or a PCA seat.
