Carbon Poker Fun Step

Has anyone had any success at the Fun Steps? I do not have bankroll at Carbon so I am interested to see how much bankroll I can get starting off with the Fun Steps. Any suggestions?

Have to win the third step for a buck. From there it's the sixth cent, fast fifty or a cash table. Think the third step is pretty competive and have seen lot good poker played there.

Yeah I've won a few. They are pretty hard though, but it can be done. I agree with the above post with were you should go next. For me I went to the cash table. GL

Thank you for the replies. I just got a few Step 1's going let's see how it works out

Yeah I think I have won 2 fun step 3's...fun step 1 and 2 were easy to get by it was just winning fun step 3 that was tough.

I wouldn't recommend the big 6 cent tourney if you do win a buck or two, I would either play in the fast fifty or sngs or take it to the tables.

If you got the time, easy to win a buck at a time. Pretty easy to win the step 1 & 2, but the play will be tougher on step 3. I've won several of these, but it does require a time commitment.

If you have time and patience, you can start your bankroll playing those steps SNG's. Like everyone said, step 1 is an all in feast, step 2 is mostly luck too and step 3 is a normal buy in cash game. I think that top 3 of step 3 should be paid with money, only the first place makes so much harder.

I am new to Carbon and have no bankroll there. Can anybody explain to me what these steps are and where do I find them ?
Thanks.

Click on PLAYER ADMIN at the bottom of the lobby, then click on MY ACCOUNT at the left of the web page, then click on PLAY MONEY and then you can purchase the funstep1 ticket for 250 play money. Then go to sitngo lobby and search for the funstep1 match. Enter and finish in the top 3 and get a funstep2 ticket. Enter that match the same way and finish in the top 2 and get a Funstep3 ticket. Enter that match and finish in 1st place and get $1 deposited into your account, which you can go and play sitngos or cash games and win more money. It's worth it if you don't wont to deposit any cash into your account. It's a way to get into real money for free.

Ive won a couple of these and it's pretty cool. Also check out the $200 freeroll in the tournements lobby. It's also a way to get into free money without making a deposit.

the fun step 1 is easy to win. You usually get one or 2 people to go all in first hand. Haven't played at Carbon since Black Friday. 3 is a little harder but if you play tight them after a few people are knocked out you can usually cash or win your fun step 2 ticket back

Hey I need some help with the whole thing.

I've been trying to get into some freerolls and such, but having very little luck

Can you please explain the step 1 Fun things a bit more?
Maybe tell me how to get into them?

Also is there any use to play money?

Hey man, many thanks for your explanations on this. Very helpful.
I guess I will try these ones and see how it works.
Thanks again.

TY for this! It seems that you can only have 1 coupon for Step 1 at a time. It won't let you get a 2nd coupon until you register using the first. Does this rule apply for Step 2 tickets as well? Or can I accumulate a bunch of step 2 tickets and then play a bunch at a time?

You can get more than 1 step 2 coupons for sure. I don't know the max no. of step 2 coupons you can get.

I found you can hold onto as many Fun Step 2 tickets as you want.

Just check it out and you'll find all tickets have an expiration date, so just make sure you use them before they go away.

And good luck.

But is there anything else? Outside of pokerowned.com freerolls, the 200 5k person free roll and the Fun steps? If there is no more I don't think I can really play on Carbon.

Note that the Step 2 tickets expired in 8 days and you can only purchase max of 10 Step 1 tickets a day. So you can only have a max of 9 X 10 = 90 Step 2 tickets.

If you take these seriously and play every Step 1 you possibly can, you should be able to add nearly $2 per week to your bankroll.

I picked up an $11 Satellite Ticket in one of the daily $200 freerolls but its only good in Rebuy Satellites.
I'm playing these Fun Steps to bank at least enough for a $10 add-on!

Yeah, I went to use my 3 Step2 tickets, and one of em had already expired.
Get a bankroll of $5.50 at Carbon so that you can play in the OFC buy-in tourney coming up on June 19th at 1600EST.
P.S. Be sure to pre-register.

i use to play them a while back i won 1 of them while i was drunk hahaha but other than that i think myself that they are a waste of time and effort

yea ma friends dad is playing this just for fun he won like 50 dollars this year he never play poker for money

i won fun step 3 a couple of times but it takes a lot of time and patience....and i still don't know is it worth just 1$ :/

Agreed, for $1 there is absolutely no way that these can be considered worth the time spent.
However, compared the $200 freerolls, they are probably a little bit less of a waste of time.

Nice thing is that once you've cranked through Steps 1 and 2, the Step 3 tickets can be saved and used at any time of the day.
And then the 10 seat single table Sit N Go format takes a lot less time than a $200 freeroll MTT with 2000-5000 players.

I funstepped a dollar to $350 last month, but donked it back in a few weeks. Since I wont deposit post black Friday it was a fun ride while it lasted. I'm living off the VIP points now, but I gotta say its quite time consuming and you need a lot of patience.

That's what I'm gonna try and do, too bad you lost it
After all my hunting and lookin through sites, I have found that Carbon poker is the best for free tournaments. But just because its the best doesn't make it all that good.
The Funsteps are your best bet to get into the money I think. I just hate to think about working all the way to the third fun step and getting 4th, then u gotta start all over.

What does everyone think is the best next place to go with Fun Step earnings?
I'm considering the Double Or Nuttin 10-seat Sit N Gos.
$1.08 entry pays $2 back to half the players.

i have nerver use the deposite option.. i won 4$ on fun step3 SnG on carbon and then build my bankroll with 4$.... im happy about my current bankroll on both feltstars and carbon... its like easy and free money for me ! no deposite but i withdraw monthly 2 to 4 K ....
i suggest you all do same if you dont want to deposite or even CC freeroll is one of the best option to biuld your bankroll Good luck all

Actually, since you could save a step 1 ticket from the day before, you could hypothetically have 91 Step 2 tickets + how ever many Step 3s you convert to step 2s.



I thought only Pokerstars had these. I will definitely go this route if I ever manage to win some Step 3s. Does anyone know how tight most players play the double-or-nothings on carbon?

did they do away with the fun steps!? i can't find them anywhere!

1 Click "Sit N Go" on top
2 Sort the list by table name ie. click the label "name" above the table list.
3 Scroll the list to table name starting with fun

I still have not cashed in the third step, but will most likely hit up a cash table once I do.
Has anyone tried the .11c Bumblebee Room SH Super Turbo's? I'm not a big fan of super turbos, but with only 1$ you would have 9 buy-in's. Dunno if anyone could actually cash in those ST's or not without some luck, but with only a dollar or two your gonna need some anyway :x.

how many entrants in the superturbo's? kinda lame they don't have 2NL. would be easiest.
I gave up on funsteps a while ago. too maddening. lolz.

I have earned 6 step 3 tickets to date and have not cashed yet. My most recent attempt ended when we were heads up, pretty even stacks and I lost with AA vs A6 off. Lolz!

6 with top 2 paying

Cashed in a 3rd step today, played limit holdem for 15 min and am up 56c! hope i don't lose it

What did you play right after you won $4 from fun steps?
