W$ to spend for a PCA ticket

[BigKahunaGio]

Hello, I've around W$500 in my account and would like to try to get a PCA ticket
What's better in your opinion:steps, MTT or double shooutout?
I think that the average level of the FT of the DS should be < of the avg lvl at $2100 steps, but of course I never played one of these (but I saw many pros always sitting there)

Depends on what you are better at. For me personally I would buy directly into step 3's. But if you are a better satellite player then go for those.

I like the step 3 idea, too. Also when you get to step 6 at least you can do a little table selection as you see who's sitting down. Should be able to get a softer "final table" than you'd end up with in a DSO.
