OT: Step Tourneys vs Sngs

Let me apologize if this is posted somewhere else, but i did search and found a whole lotta nuttin.

For those that play steps, how do you compare them to the sngs? I tried a few step 1's and found them to be extremely crazy. i was on BB and had 7 limpers, i had AKs, bumped to 75 to thin the field and had 6 people call it! so i am done with those...where does the play become less insane? How do you guys play steps, meaning, for fun and to try to make a few bucks, or are people grinding it out on these and making $$ just like in sngs?

Thanks All,
