(OT) What to expect in mini step 5?

I just got to my first mini step 5 and was wondering what I should expect? Are the players all seasoned pros, or are they comming up through the steps? Will I be way over matched considering I can beat the 22 for a good ROI?

They aren't too tough, as long as you run good.

I posted a mini step 5 HH about a week ago. Take a look to get a feel for how they play.

Thanks. What replayer do you use? The one I have does not show blinds or showdowns, which is really annoying.

Not to be picky, but this seems a little vague. I mean, as long as you run good, the Step 5 Highers shouldnt be THAT hard. I realize that you have a small sample sizes, but did you see the same type of plays and tight-aggressive style that you would accept from high-level buy-in regulars, or did it seem like the players were simply just a mix of good and OK players?

That was the point. It was an attempt at mild humor, which rarely works online I guess.

I couldn't accurately describe the typical $430, since I've only played 1 game. Since I posted the HH, you have exactly the same info about the game as I do (if you were to read it).

I don't use a replayer that works for hands that are sent to the HD, and I didn't request the email unfortunately.

You should expect ME!!!!

I just won my first entry too. Wondering if i should play it tomorrow or maybe save it for this weekend. Any suggestions?

Me too, anyone else notice that at Levels 2-3, the play was much tighter than at a regular SNG of the same level?
