I was gonna post this but I think making turbos will severely dry up the regulars. I'm still split on it though. In the early steps I think turbos will significantly reduce your edge.

Standard hourly vs per tournament argument for turbo v regular sngs. Also, people make really large mistakes on turbo sat bubbles.

i'm a big fan of steps. can just keep trying and trying with little risk. step 4 is a bit of a bitch. only top 3 stay or move on. should be good if you have the time to commit to them.

anyone who'd rather have standard sng's over turbo's must not have much experience with sng's. or maybe even common sense.

seriously, turrrrrrrrrrrbos plz

Am I missing something or is there nowhere where the number of tickets you have is recorded?

It isn't on my cashier screen. The only way I can tell is by trying to register for one - it says "cost one ticket... you have x tickets" on the popup instead of the normal dollar bit.

They should have it recorded somewhere else also.

btw the play in the 82s is laughably bad so far; gonna let a few more fish win to step 4 before playing lots of them.

Hello Matt,

Thank you for your email.

The PCA Steps are new and players are getting a feel for them; we are, as
well. Over time, small tweaks here and there may be made, depending on
what the players would like to see and what would be best for the system.

All the best,

So, obviously they read these boards, and will hopefully add them. Also, anyone else rather see the final step a single table paying just 1 seat? Seems odd playing single table's all the way through to have to play an 18 person at the end. Also, a single table would have re-entries so players starting at the low/mid-level steps wouldn't have to start all over again, and also a cash prize. Should like like this:

1st- PCA Package
2+3- Step 6 re-entry
4- $1800

You can find the tickets you have by going to the PS Lobby and clicking on request, and there's a Tournament Tickets section to see what you have. But, I agree, would be much easier if they were listed in the cashier like $W, etc.

I like this structure you proposed a lot. I don't hate the 18man structure, but I think this is really, really good. Paying more spots with the prize structure being less top-heavy is also more in the spirit of the steps structure, and will probably make people happier who think steps are a good idea.

TOURNAMENTS THAT LAST 1 HOUR 10 MINUTES SHOULD NOT HAVE BREAKS @ 1 HOUR
