Anyone play the fun-steps? I love when sites offer opportunities for players to free-roll into the cash games. I like challenges like these also because they give you a good outlet to get action without putting your bankroll at risk when you know your off your game at the moment, like when your on tilt from a beat on a cash table or buy-in tourney. Times like those cost otherwise frugal players alot of money if they aren't disciplined enough to stop when they are running bad. I want to play when I want to play, so I play these when I don't think my A-game is possible. I have been saving up my step-3s for a rainy day. I think the step-3s will play like a $10sng because the players will mostly be broke seats trying to get on-site.

I have played the funsteps, and have won a dollar once from it as well. The first step is a donkfest to the extreme more often than not, just be warned.

Yeah me included, lolz. Kinda fun actually. I put up all 10 tables I can get tickets for that day, and play it like an all-in-or-fold pushing big PPs and AJ-AK til its 4-5 handed. Step-2 is more like a low buy-in SNG, kind of a mixed bag. I find the 2nd step to be the hardest because of this inherent lack of consistancy in the player quality.

The best way is to play all of your step 1s for 5 days or so and get like 10-30 step 2 tickets. then play ur step 2s get 5-25 step 3s. I have made like 35 dollars off this strategy. I currently have 10 step 2s im gonna play tonight prolly. Send me a P.M. with any questions.

Step 2 is more of a good game, but you still have some of the donks from step one that got huge chip leads first hand with crap hands mixed in. Step 3 is usually a really good game, most of the complete donks were already busted by that time.
And dame... no comment lol

I played those and the regular carbon freerolls until I had around $20. Thought that was enough to build off of in microstakes and sure enough lost it in a couple of hours. Now I know better... I should have waited until I had $25. LoL
