Anyone playing Step on PS? - Page 3 - The Punters Lounge

Fonzie14 · 29-03-2008, 16:24

Was just about to register for step six, when I noticed timex was registered (Mike MacDonald - EPT Dortmund winner amongst others)......think I'll give this one a miss and maybe catch the next one.

Have you played it yet or still hanging on Fonzie?

Nice one Joe/Hen/Fonzie

I've tried some of these (for both the WSOP and LAPT). In theory it sounds like a decent way of getting there, but I'm getting nowhere. One Step 4 is all I've managed, and I got shafted in that. It could be that I'm crap at turbo's. Is there anything that I should be doing in the first 3 Steps?

Sorry hen, didn't see your post yesterday.

No I haven't played yet, been watching a few of the step 6 games and it would seem that there are quite a few of the pros who are using it as a high value sitngo, obviously thinking that there may be a high % of fish (like me

) who have lucked their way through the steps and a good oportunity to get a 12.5k boost to ther bankroll. So I am looking to play during our daytime, as most of the big boys that are doing this are from US and Canada. Just something to look out for if you get to step 6 again

Not sure Gaz, I must admit the first 3 sreps (turbos) are a bit of a lottery with a lot of fishy players, but once I got to step 4, when the blinds revert to 10mins, I just played ABC poker and went 4,5,6 straight through.

Am now trying to pick my moment (see previous post)

Like your thinking...

Good Luck Fonzie

Fonzie14 · 31-03-2008, 14:42

All went horribly wrong I'm afraid. Hardly any cards in first hour. Was turning into a push fest after break, short stacked, pushed with QJ into QQ...DOH!

Out in 8th for nowt

Still, was a lot of fun for $7.50...might try again

Guppie(BPP) · 31-03-2008, 14:56

Unlucky mate

heniek31 · 31-03-2008, 15:10

Unlucky mate.

Fonzie14 · 31-03-2008, 22:36

One buy-in - back up to Step 4 - enough for tonight.

To be continued (I hope

).

DaMatrix · 01-04-2008, 09:46

Might have to have another go soon. gla.

I tried a few times starting at Step 1 a while ago, but just didn't seem able
to get past Level 2 (and rarely even past Step 1!). But I had another go
yesterday, and got straight through the first four levels. I'll probably have
a go at Step 5 at the weekend.

Warbirds · 06-04-2008, 10:33

Had a few goes at the WSOP step but not going anywhere really..

A while ago I was playing those for EPT qualification and although I eventually didnot make it I also found it quite easy to go far.

The good thing with those is that quickly you get to play at higher buy-ins and you can make a lot of FPPs

Ok, so signed up for poker stars and been giving the steps a go.

1st attempt, step 2, crashed out in 9th !
2nd attempt step 2 again ....
3rd attempt I am currently on step 4 .....

I found myself playing 3 or 4 at step 1 and 2 so far, up and down the levels like a yo yo !!

Will try step 4 next week .... any advice for me ? this is by far the biggest buy in i have ever played !

Myrie16 · 09-04-2008, 20:40

Ok so could not wait ....

Finished 4th in step 4, 4th in step 3, then 9th when my A2 hit 2 pair on the flop and small blind hit trip 9s ...

Lot of fun for my $ though and nearly enough FPP for a free go at level 1 !!!

GazBlades · 14-04-2008, 08:49

After squandering a few hundred $ on this, I've finally got back up to Step 4!

This was a while ago. I came fifth at Step 5, which meant I got to replay at
Step 4, and then gradually floated down through the levels ... Step 3, Step 2,
Step 1, out.

I haven't squandered that much (yet), though I have squandered all my
FPPs. But I also got back up to Step 4 yesterday.

happyhornet · 17-04-2008, 16:59

After a couple of decent-ish MTT cashes on Stars, I thought I would give these a go.

Played Step 1 today, and got through. I thought the standard was fairly average, even allowing for the fact that it was a turbo.

Question for those who have go on through the levels. What is the standard like as the Steps progress?
