Hey Carl I have just started these but I know the first 2 levels are as ypou describe on Pokerstars. I will keep you informed as I progress. The bottom line is that PS.com gave me the money to do this so I will spend my first $10 on them and see where I get to.
I have played 22 of them to date i have won 7 replays as the elusive step 2 ticket as yet to appear. But I have $7.02 left and $.12 more in rake to release the next $10
