Default The ***New*** STEP Higher(s)

STEP Higher structure

Where is the STEP 6? (See STEP 4 payouts)

Edit: The payout on STEP 4 seriously sucks. Are there really enough donkeys out there who will say, "Well, if I get 7th, at least I get 600 bucks back?"

Yeah, I was looking at the structure. I like being able to get out with money at step 4. It makes it less of a never ending rake trap. I may just have to try one.

lol, someone should win a bunch of the step 4's, and demand WSOP step 6 entries, wait.... are they of lesser or equal value?

I think it's brilliant. Plenty of people will see that and spend a lot of time trying to turn $33 into 600.

Ah, missed that. Good point. So how do you like the skip of STEP 5, and direct to STEP 6 tho? Nice move?

Step 6 payouts look pretty weak to me.

With the low buyin, we should be seeing a lot more of these, than the previous ones.

I find it curious that they barely change the rake from the STEP 5 buyin (6.5%) to the STEP 5 Higher buyin (6%). Tho the buyin is 5x greater. Guess the gettin's still good for Party.
