That structure is terrifying.

I suspect you could live inside those tournaments for several weeks without ever popping out of either end.

I wonder what happens to all the clutter lying around in people's accounts after the wsop has taken place.

Here's how it would probably go for me...

Plunk down $12.
Spend every waking hour moving up and down the ladder.
After 2 months of agony and almost making it to Step 6, find myself back at Step 1.
Finish 6th for a net $5 loss.
Repeat.

These Steps are confusing to me. I wonder if you'd be better off just playing a $50 SNG and keep pressing your luck until you either won enough to buy a WSOP entry or you lost your original 50 bucks.

That is very interesting. I can only imagine that the level of play at steps 3, 4 and 5 will be a very wide range of skill levels.

At steps 4 and 5, you only have to finish in the top half of the table to basically stay at the same level. There are certainly some strategic considerations there.

What tab are these steps under?
 

I decided to mess around with this a little and I cant even find the tab that it is under. Does anyone else see where they are?

did all these wsop steps just disappear??.
 

just qualified for another step but suddenly there are none to choose from in lobby?

Glitch?

I agree. The toughest part is getting past Step 1 (well, I guess the final step will be difficult, too), since you actually have to win it.

But if I made it to Step 4 or 5 and hit the top 5, there's a good chance I'd start an all-in fest, since if I bust, I just play again.

Agreed. Obviously it's better to create a structure that no one can comprehend rather than a simple and effective one. They really want to wreck us on those entry fees.

I played my first one....total rock fest.

I hope that isnt the norm.
