Step up... to the WSOP! [GAME OVER!]

So with Step 3 complete it's time for a little summary!

Starting Games: 6
Total Games played: 10
Step 3 Retries: 4
Step 3 Fails: 5
Step 4 tickets: 2
Winnings: -$144

Gonna have to think about whether attempting two Step 4s is > than 2 Sunday Million attempts.

Step 4 payout structure is a massive concern for me as only third place is guaranteed a retry whilst 4 and 5 move down a Step and 6th moves back down to Step 2!

Very risky!

Play the sunday million, much more +happiness EV IMO, and If you ship it you can go play the main event anyway.

Plus the competition is way softer than the regs at step 4+ (I assume)

i agree with this but sunday million has bigger variance too.

i think both are good.do what you feel but keep us updated.

Yea except sunday million has much lower variance

Ur EV in the SM is prolly 250$ and in a step 4 im guessing it's lower than 215$, certainly ur ROI will be negative in step 5 and 6. Snap choose SM imo

Cheers all.

I think the SM is the better choice but I won't rule anything out yet for another few days

Hi .. missed alot of action So you got 2 x step 4 tickets from 250 bucks. Nice ROI then

Well done and very intresting challange.. i might steal your idea in future altough i suck at sng-s

So you have 2 step 4 tickets, 2 shots at the SM is definiting more +EV than 2 shots at step 4, yu gotta ask yourself, if you run good you may get one step 5 ticket, theres a very small chance yu may get 2 and a good chance you ll get none

So good senario, yu get a step 5 ticket, yu have one shot at step 5, if your lucky yu get a step 6 ticket worth $2.1k which is a lot of money

You ve ran amazing, yu managed to get this far, yu now have a step 6 ticket, yu have to WIN step 6 to move on the the WSOP, against people that are gunna be very very tough to play again in step 6, or at least come 2/3 for a retry

OR 2 chances at the SM which yu could make a couple of nice cashes or even ship big ♦

play the step 4's, its what you started the challenge for, the pay out structure in the sunday million is dreadful anyway. Go for Vegasssssssss

Any better structured 215s on Stars?

Could split it and do one of each but for variance sake I feel it's wiser to do two of the same or does that really matter with just two games?

id just give yourself two shots at the step 4's. I'd probably suggest asking a SNG player to look through a few of ur tourny reviews where they see all your hands as closing any leaks is important.

Ah, down to the exciting bits! ♠_cool:

Whatever you choose - and I would have no idea what to suggest - have fun.

you might as well forget about EV and just do what will be more fun, there's no point thinking of EV in a 2 game sample

if u play the steps u'll have about 2% chance of getting a seat.

If u play the SM u'll cash like 25% of the time

Yeah, and imagine the length of essay you could write if you describe every blind level and make a deep run in the SM!

ABC SNG Strategy along with decent ICM strategy will get you passed Steps 1-3 with a little run good. I can't comment on 4-6 but I would imagine they are harder. They don't run very regularly so I haven't even watched again games. Will try to watch a few games over the week and see the standard before making a decision.
