Fun Steps experiment

[StackSnack]

I had an idea on Wednesday to try something with the fun steps. I play the Merge Network on multiple skins as I usually do with any network. I thought it would be interesting to see what kind of money could be made with the fun steps. This is how I have decided to approach these little do-dads

1. Using 5 skins on the Merge Network, I will push all in on every starting hand. Thats 10 steps a day per skin.(50 step 1's per day)
2. The ones I double up on or better, I will click sit out and fold!
3. This comes out to an average of 3 out of 10 step 2's per skin.
4. After using all 10 steps and pushing with all, I will log off and move to another skin.(Approx. 10 minutes per skin)

Pretty simple!

Over the course of 5 days and approx. 5 hours committed, I have accrued 78 step 2's(All skins combined)

5. On Day 6 I will attempt to play the Step 2's with a very similiar approach to an All-in or Fold SnG!
6. On the Step 3's I will play properly on Day 7 and see what comes out in the wash.

Will update results!.........................

i had a similar concept. i was not always so consistent on the all in
i win more step 2s that way. but do play very agressively. great idea

its all about getin it all in at the rite time there lol gl bud they can be a good way to get a free $1 but not easy gl

1 more thing. fs 2s are more difficult.
chances are nobody will call you. they play much tighter and the games seem to last twice as long
step 3s are crazy.
i have racked up so many of each and still ended up with nothing

Update: I have currently used 15 of the step 2's and have walked away with three step 3's and one step 2! Time committed: 1hr 22min. total. I must add, I had to adjust my approach slightly, deeper in the game. I waited till blinds hit level 5 to sit back in, then played accordingly! Sidebar: I doubled up with starting hand 3x!

Sounds like an interesting experiment. You might come out with a little money in the end.
