Step5 higher now has 5k entry and 25k for first.

Re: New step Higher format, Thoughts ?
 

I had a look this morning and steps 4 and 5 were still 3k and 15k buy in.

But it looks like a regular 5k sng with pay outs of 50/30/20%

Party structure

Re: New step Higher format, Thoughts ?
 

where are they located? or when does it start?

Re: New step Higher format, Thoughts ?
 

Party put them up earlier in SNG - steps section but depsite bieng called 5000+xxx when you went to buy in they still had the details of the old 15000's so I'm guessing they took them down for a rework.

The lowered the rake for steps 3-4 but increased it for step 5. Guess they want more of a trickle up effect going.

Re: New step Higher format, Thoughts ?
 

Now this is more like it.

no more easy decisions. do you take cash at Step 4? or risk all and go for top 3 at step 5?

Re: New step Higher format, Thoughts ?
 

Does anyone else see this as an easy way for top players to gain step5 entries through step4? (not that this is a bad thing) Anyone who bought into step1 or step2 will be VERY tempted to try and cash out before making it to the top two spots in a step4 tourney.
