STEP Higher - 100k to winner

[adanthar]

There's half a dozen online regulars (not B&M pros) I can think of that can scrape together 20 buyins if they try...maybe. I'm only sure of two, maybe three. But 20 buyins at this level is not even close to what you need.

Add in collusion...no. You'd need a million to make a run at these *and* nine other people that'll fill up a game. I guess they could all sit around waiting for a sucker to move up the ladder but how long would that take???

I have the bankroll to buy in direct if I want to. I think Im going to take 3k and 4 table the step 2, which is $100/10 right? Even if you lose you can bounce around. Other thoughts is that it might take an hour or longer to fill up the higher step 4 and 5's. Again, could someone be kind enough to write out the exact structure of the higher steps as I'm going to analyze the math behind it. Please put exact buy-in and who moves up/down at each level. Thanks- Jared

The more you think about it, the more this looks like a giant conspiracy between PartyPoker and peripheral companies.

The BR rule in limit is 300 big bets, probably double that if playing professionally. A 30/60 pro regular at Party should have at least a 30-40K roll to be on the safe side. A Step 5 regular needs more, but not that much more, so we'll say Step 5's are equivalent to a 40/80 game.

That would make this 600/1200. There is no way in the world that anyone is gonna play those without at least waiting for a live one to swim up (which could take weeks) and they would be suicidal to try without a $600,000 roll or more. Where are you gonna find those people online? A handful of them may exist scattered across sites, but...

Here the link to Party's website that should give you all the details.

Step 3 - 500/50 - 1st moves on, 2nd and 3rd stay in the same step
Step 4 - 3000/300 - Same
Step 5 - 15000/500 - 100k to first, 30k and 20k

Oh, and one of the Step 5s just had three people sitting on it, I think.

[Rojosox]

what is the buy in for step 2? Is it $100/10?

[ZimbuTheMonkey]

Haha... sorry, you never seem to be getting the complete answer you seek... [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
