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.

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?

[PokerPaul]

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.
