Re: Step 6 is 18 entries

If so, perhaps some people would like some Steps tables that can ONLY be bought into with tickets won from the step just below.

[/ QUOTE ] Hence why it would be better if instead of reentries awarded on the last step of a 1 table you pay cash. Then towards the end of the promo anyone who gets to step 6 and loses receives cash and it leaves less tickets around.

Re: Step 6 is 18 entries
I don't think the single-table step 6 would lead to THAT many more leftover tickets, would it?
You are still going to have a ton of losers between steps 1 through 5. But I guess at the very end when it comes down to everyone kind of rushing to get rid of their tickets I guess it could lead to more leftovers. Anyway, I really like the single-table flatter-payout idea for step 6 and don't think it's even close. The 2-table Step 6's kind of suck and I think most of us are in agreement that it should be changed. Teddyfbi - I think the other poster was referring to some of the rumors flying around of some high-stakes SNG-collusion shenanigan's on the old Party Steps. I don't know much about it though. Assuming others here could give more background/details. If we're really curious perhaps we could ask in the SNG forum. Actually, come to think of it they probably are already talking about the PCA-Steps over there too.

This step idea is awesome, but making it all the way to step 6 and getting 4th and having nothing to show for it makes me hesitant to play. For a player with a small bankroll, I don't want to keep putting in $7.50 or $27 and never win anything. But the fish will still play so I guess I will try also.

2 tables for the last step is really dumb

Re: Step 6 is 18 entries
One more argument (maybe the most common-sense one) for the wisdom of a 1-table Step 6: it takes FOREVER for the 18-man double-table Step 6 to fill up. There's a Step 6 right now that has 13 of 18 seats filled...but it's been "filling up" for the last 6 hours. I don't think more than a single Step 6 has run all day. Even those inclined to play in the current Step 6 format don't want to wait around 8 hours for it to actually run. Kind of makes the "Sit-n-Go" terminology a tad ironic.
