Just wanted to ask how many of u play the Fun Step SNGs i am fairly new to Carbon and think its a really cool way to make some $ 4 nothing. Ive made 6 so far and wanted to know how others were doing. Step and 2 are pretty much a donkfest Step3 gets to be a bit of a better game but definatly beatable. Fun Fun Fun Steppin lol;)

I've probably played 50 Funstep 1 and have managed to ultimately
get about 6 Funstep3 out of that with only 1 cash.:(
Still playing, including today - did snag another Funstep3 ticket
and didn't cash in another. Essentially you've got to finish 1st
in a 25 person tournament. Beat 7 in the first, 8in the 2nd and
9 in the last for your $1.:eek:

Seems like a lot of work to get any kind of payoff. A better option would be to participate in the daily freerolls that get you a decent satellite coupon if you are fortunate enough to cash.

I've tried the daily freeroll, but as an example the NL
freeroll currently in progress has 24 coupons for 5,000
player - about 0.5% cash - and then you just have a coupon.
The funstep is $1 for 25 people a 4% cash.

I can't seem to find any of these fun steps on carbon. Can you direct me to where to find them. Thinking in the sit n go section.
Really liking the cash games lately, have a few times where I lose $5 after making $10 and then up and down only because of bad play. Oops. Need to learn here, and prevent this from happening. I know not a very good explanation but just need to write it out, maybe it will stick out more like a sore pocket card and I will gain experience for this.

:) If you go up to the tab on the top that says Promotions click it and you will see a fun step tab...click it u will be taken to screen to exchange 250 in play $ for a step 1 coupon. Take that to the play $ SNGs and you will see them in there. From there you work ur way to a free $1:) . Hope that helped

I play 10 fun steps everyday. I load all 10 up at once. Normally win 6/10 step 2s. And I average at least one step 3 win per week.

I've been doing them on BCP...basically the same game. They are fun but frustrating. Finishing top 3 in step one is pretty easy, do it almost every time unless I feel like taking the "first hand gamble" every now and them. Step 2 I usually end up taking 3rd it seems...wash, rinse, repeat. I've been tracking my hands and notice an ungodly amount of bad beats however. Kind of disturbing. I know you guys talk about Carbon, I imagine Black Chip is the same, but do you know if they reload the free play to 5,000 when you are out? I have no desire to play the other free play games to reload this amount...any help is help.

Yeah I got burnt out from them as well. If the final level paid the top 3 instead of the top 1 then I would probably still be doing it. Lot of bad players there though, definitely a decent way to try to build a bankroll:D

On the account tab in the lobby at the bottom
choice is "Play money top-up" which will bring
you back to 5,000. Can only play X10 Funstep1
per day - 250x10=2,500. As far as I know coupons
only good for 7 days. Not sure about this, but if you
register and then deregister I think the coupon is gone.

If you register and then deregister you get your coupon back.
(just tried it with a FUNSTEO1SNG coupon) But at least for me the lobby have a delay so the game may start before I have time to press deregister :))

For me Fun Step is all about the fun. Playing them for fun when I can't or do not want to focus 100% on poker, but still want to play. Normally when listening on a game on sports radio or similar.:beerglass

One tip: Watch for those players who are sitting out. Never let the sitting out players win any pot.

Has anyone tried playing fun steps on multiple merge skins? I think it would be a good way to bink a few dollars but is it worth the effort?

UNC_Roz you should definitely try them out. Step 1 is a breeze but step 3 can be pretty tough because you have to get first and everyone plays a lot better

I don't think people necessarily play a lot better. It's just that almost every single player is playing nothing but premium hands and folding to anything else. It's easy to steal a lot of pots, but unfortunately they are never all that big. Eventually the blinds are high enough and everyone's chips are at the level where any good hand is push or fold for everyone. I usually get in the situation where you are UTG or early and get a mid PP or A-KQ and calling or folding isn't an option. Usually run into something better down the line too. Gets tricky.

I deposited money at Carbon a long time ago but have been trying to build
a bankroll with Funstep at Hero and BCP. Currently have $1 at each -woohoo.
Anatomy of $1 - your mileage may vary: 25 Funstep1 = 15 Funstep2 =
5 Funstep3 and 2 Funstep2(for 3rd) = 1 Funstep3(for 2nd) and $1.
