Steps on Stars

[BadgerPro]

I've been swayed while I like the multiple packages the 2 table gives out compared to the single package of a 1 table I think changing it to a 1 table SnG would be best.

My recommendation would be to add a level 6 single table and see whether it's more popular than the 2 tables.

[rwesty]

9 Man Level 6
1. PCA 12K
2. STEP 6 Ticket $2100
3. STEP 6 Ticket $2100
4. STEP 5 Ticket $700
5. STEP 5 Ticket $700
6. STEP 4 Ticket $215
7. STEP 4 Ticket $215

This would probably be the best option for the low-limit players. They can add $30 from their $900 in rake to the prize pool so they don't force the high-stakes players to go lower than Step 4, they've done it in other steps. A $21 prize from a $2100 tourney would be kind of ridiculous.

I agree completely with the Rwesty, $21 does seem a bit pointless. Good ideas all round though!

Step 2 at the moment...

I'm sure the reason that places 4 - 18 in step 6 are "goodbye" is because these steps are specifically for the PCA. They have to end.

So the 'exit strategy' is probably going to be to stop giving lower-level tickets as prizes at some point.

So, for example, starting on December 15th, step one will pay two seats to step two, $7.50 cash for 3rd, and $1.50 for 4th.

Give everybody a chance to use their step 1 tickets, and then on December 20th, there will be no more step 1 tourneys, and they change the payout of step two so that it only awards step 3 tickets, cash for lower places.

But since they have to stop the steps at some point, it's only logical that step 6 avoids the loop.

Makes a lot of sense but they could easily do the same thing with a single table step 6 at the end. Changing it to one seat and 3 $2k prizes.

or 6max winner take all...

I played a few and after looking at the step 6 structure, I am giving up. Playing the MTT or even DS is better than this one.

[rage4dorder]

i like step 6 the way it is... but i guess i'm the only one.
although i think i'll wait a few months to use any tickets i get in hopes the field isn't so stacked.
