Playing the "Steps" on Stars but can't go on the trip

[jmremote]

Seriously? you need a thread to decide the right move?

Win the seat, cancel your other engagement, win the donkament.

Well, I thought there might be another option. I haven't played these steps before or any satellite type of event so I was hoping there was some better option then to just not play and hope PokerStars makes a decision that will work out for "me".

Anyone that has experience with these things have any other option that makes sense in this situation?

[ffr]

Wish I could Mrage, wish I could.

luckily for you you'll probably lose and won't have to make any tough decisions.

well, I won't lose if the right play is ...NOT TO PLAY.

This is why I am trying to find out what my best option is at this point. I'd rather know now before I actually win the seat and can't do anything.

I know I haven't won the seat yet, but it seems at this point it would be stupid for me to try and win the seat.

Does anyone that has experience with these things have any other option then to simply not play anymore and wait and see what PokerStars decides to do with the unused tickets?

They'll probably let you use the step for some future step-related event...in any case, they're not going to make the value of the ticket vanish, so your best bet seems to be to not play. Also, why not post this in MTTC, since you wanted serious replies?
