Value of PartyPoker New STEPS tournament

[Danielih]

Hi-

Anyone have any ideas on this. Are these valuable at all?

Assuming there is some value how can you caluate your EV.

Also what level do you start at, 2 or 3?

I assume by "2 or 3" you mean "4 or 5." I think 4 is better.

Ok, I guess the question is, What level is best to buyin on, And how much is it worth? Will these tournaments be popular?

With the fish schools on Party playing there is a must. You obviously don't see it that way?

Good luck,

Fitz

sorry, im at work and have not been playing much party lately. could someone please chime in and explain what exactly are these new step tourneys? thanks in advance. CB

I think what level you start at is more a question of what your bankroll can afford. If you had no bankroll restrictions I think I would start at level four to maximize EV.

Does anyone know if you are allowed to win a level then cash out your buy in for the next one? Or are you forced to move up a step until you play in step 5?

it appears not. it looks like when you, say win level 3 (or make the top group that advances), you get a freeroll into level 4 that you can play whenever you want. theoretically, you could have 5 freerolls (or more) into each of the levels sitting in your account to use whenever you're ready, none of which are worth real cash until you get to level 5 and place in the top 4. it'll be interesting to see how often the levels 5s begin (they need 20 people to play in a $1000+65 tourney).

these are going to be monsterly popular and hugely +EV i believe. i look forward to hearing other's thoughts on these.
