can someone post the structure - how many move on from each step? PP is blocked at work

Starts off from 30+3... 1st place gets to a higher step, 2nd and 3rd get a seat in the same step.

One each, even at Step 1. There's absolutely no way. And where is anyone gonna get the bankroll to buy in direct?

There are new mini-Steps, too. Those may be worth it just because the competition has to suck more, but...

The ministeps sucks BECAUSE it pays out 5 spots. If it were 3 spots, it would be like double the $215. It cannot be profitable to be playing the ministeps.

just thinking about it....i would bet 57% who finish 4th in the Higher Step 5 end up breaking their computer.

There is no question that there are currently people with the bankroll to buy in direct. Whether or not they should, however, is an entirely different matter.

15K is simply too high for online play IMO (not that it won't go even higher in the future...) With this kind of money involved, it is a near certainty that there will be well financed, expert poker players colluding to take advantage of the lucky (or even really good) players who work their way up. Caveat emptor.
