are the steps worth trying (NC)

[treeofwisdom7]

i was watching lvl 1 mini step on party .. it looks like they play looooooose..
are the steps easyer and do any twoplustwoers play them ?

[imported_machine]

i play them occasionly usually play 20+2 stts but i would say the steps are probably a lower standard then the stts as even fish make it up the ladder sometimes, the only prob with steps is they can be a waste of time, that time you could have used making some real profit. I would say they are worth it econmically if you play them in your spare time, not time you have set aside to play cash or stt games.

I think most people agree that they are a rake trap at worst and a fish trap at best. But if you're just looking to have fun and not for profit, go for it.

rake trap or not - they are pretty soft

[treeofwisdom7]

lvl 1 mini looked really soft. but when i watched lvl 2 i saw tight wads make it to BB300 7ppl..

anyway i gotta get a new email somewhere

Remember, Step 1 is really $10+2, not $11+1.

I don't see these step tournament things in my party window. How do they work? Were are they?

[MastiffPaul]

Can someone explain why they are considered a rake trap?

[Voltron87]

basically because you bounce around from step to step, and each time they take rake. So when you go and get a "repeat step 2" entry or whatever, that entry gets rake taken and party doesnt actually pay any real prizes out.

I'm afraid I still don't understand. Does this mean that, if I were to win a freeroll into a tourament one step down, there would be a hidden rake fee to use that freeroll?
