Re: Step 6 is 18 entries
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Note that Step 6 is 18 entries for 3 Atlantis spots, all of the other steps are 9 entries. Its not mentioned in the diagram, but obvious if you add up the direct entry $$$'s [/ QUOTE ] This was the thing I liked the least about these. I Just play for fun mainly make a little in the process. I played a few step 1 and 2's last night before I noticed step 6 was 18 players. When I lose all the tickets I currently have that will be the end for me unless there is a 1 table step 6 added. I would like to see 1 table step 6 maybe something like this. 1st - 12000 PCA 2nd - 2100 step 6 ticket 3rd - 2100 step 6 ticket 4th - 700 step 5 ticket 5th - 215 step 4 ticket + $25 6th-9th 215 step 4 ticket You could change 5th-9th maybe add another step 5 for 5th and make 6th -9th worth less Oh yeah and definitley turbos at least for the Steps 1 and 2. [/ QUOTE ] Here's another vote for 1-table Step 6's with a single package and a flatter payout that includes re-entries into Step 6 and 5. I'm currently sitting on a Step 6 ticket, but Jeff if you're still monitoring this thread, perhaps you could chime in as to whether you think the above scenario is even a possibility b/c if it were, then I'd wait to use it so I could play in it instead of the 3-prize 2-table Step 6. Also, am I correct that because winners of multiple prize packages are allowed to basically just accumulate as many trip packages as they can, but take them in the form of $W or $T, that there's a lot of high-stakes SNG pros that just buy-in directly to the $2,100 Step 6, and feast on the fishier players that bought in low and worked their way up? If so, perhaps some people would like some Steps tables that can ONLY be bought into with tickets won from the step just below.

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.

[/ QUOTE ] There is an excellent chance that a one-table, 9-player Step "6A" will be added, awarding one PCA seat and "replays" in steps 5 or six to lower finishers. That is not to say it is a certainty... but I'm told it may happen, and may happen soon. Also, Poker Room Management has decided that unused tickets will definitely roll over to WSOP tickets for similar Steps, to begin after the conclusion of the PCA promotion. There may be a several week period when there are no Steps running (i.e. WSOP Steps might not start until March or so) so players are encouraged to use up all tickets in the PCA promotion -- if you don't, they won't be converted to cash and you'll have to wait for the WSOP steps. If you're between 18 and 21 (i.e. ineligible to play in the WSOP), you'll likely *not* get a more direct cash or W$ conversion. You'll play for your WSOP seat and, if you win it, it'll be held until you're 21. [ QUOTE ] Also, am I correct that because winners of multiple prize packages are allowed to basically just accumulate as many trip packages as they can, but take them in the form of $W... [/ QUOTE ] Correct.

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 ] Our tournament director reads this forum, so I'll leave it to him to see this. Personally, I doubt it will happen as offering FOUR choices instead of two at the top would cause the Step 6's to go far less often... and based upon the Step 6 events that have run thus far, there doesn't seem to be as much cherry picking as you might think (i.e. there are more ticket winners entering than you'd guess).

Re: Stars has STEPS SNGs to the PCA
PCA STEPS
PokerStars has a brand-new way for you to turn just a few dollars into a $12,000 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure package: Step Sit & Go satellites. PCA Steps start at an affordable $7.50 or 500 Frequent Player Points and go up from there. Place in the top two spots in any of the PCA Steps events and we’ll give you a ticket to the next step. Make it all the way to Step 6 and you’ll play in a two-table tournament that gives the top three finishers a $12,000 2008 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure package! Even if you don’t win a ticket to the next Step, you might not walk away empty-handed. You stand a good chance of winning a ticket to the same or lower Step. You can start at any level you want, so get on the Steps today! Registration is available anytime; visit the “Events” > “PCA” lobby and choose “Sit & Go Satellites” to enter.
