Only ask cuz its obv many if not a majority of people would prefer STEPS over DS etc

Agreed. I don't play the DS. I sometimes play the 3r, 8r, and 11r sats when I want to play the mil. I'd be more inclined to play steps, but I am pretty happy with the turbo rebuys.

And I agree with other posters asking that the steps tickets to the major events be interchangeable. I can understand that stars does not want to take anyone out of the PCA steps system, but as long as it is a stars sponsored event, the tickets should be interchangeable imo.

I very strongly agree. Step tournaments have much greater appeal for various reasons, for me the main reason being the perceived time commitment.

In steps, I can play basically when I want, and know that the tourney will be done within 1 hour. With the long rebuy events, you have to start at a certain time, and they could take much longer.

I really don't see what PS has to lose by offering steps to the sunday million. I can guarantee that you will receive more satellite play from me if you offered steps to the million, whereas now I do not play any satellites really.

what stars needs to do is add double shootouts to the sunday million where you don't have to play the second table right away... This way you wouldn't have to set there for close to an hour waiting for 10 tables to all bust down to one person... hell we could even call these steps tourneys and...

in all serious, judging by the response so far for the PCA steps, these would probably be more popular then the current double shootouts that have a tendency to not fill up at times...

[KingDan]

is there anywhere we can track results?

[rage4dorder]

sharkscope tracks them i'm pretty sure

[DonJ]

Im liking the APPT turbos at the lower levels. Please add me to the list wanting turbos for the PCA lower steps.

Steps to the Sunday million much love also.

[guillaumezur]

please make the tickets interchangeable

to be honest double shoot out are far less popular than step, i agree there is plenty way to sateliite but steps generate far more rake for pokerstars

turbo on APPT are so sweat [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Reply to me asking for PCA turbo steps (for the 20th time):

Hello Derek,

Thank you for your feedback, it is always appreciated.

At this point we do not have plans of doing so, however, I have forwarded your email to the appropriate department for further review and consideration.

Let us know whenever we can be of further assistance.

If we win a seat into a step 2 from a step one how do we monitor how many "step 2 entries" we have? whats the deal with this
