Ok this is a game featured on FTP and its a super turbo with a big pay out of top 30. It is a super turbo, so many people think its just luck of the draw, but i frequently play Super Turbo's Heads up and find myself breaking even and i do gain a few dollars here and there to play some 2-3$ buy in tournys.

I was just wondering if anyone plays these, and if so how they go about wining a step 1 ticket?

I do the pretty simple stay tight and shove with any Premium hand and hope for the best, but im sure there are better way to paly this, bc as we know you dont always get good hands in a short amount of time, and also you wont get called as oten either.

Suggestions? Feed back please :)

Your method is ok. You might wish to try to establish yourself as a loose agg. player very early and cheaply and then revert to the tight agg mode.

You cannot establish yourself cheaply in these, since you start with only 10 Big Blinds. This is a push/fold tournament. You only need to win a couple of hands to win your ticket. So sit back and wait for a good spot to move all in (calling all ins with your AA and KK type hands, and blind stealing with lesser fare in position). Once you have enough chips to win your ticket, do not play any more hands. I dunno how many people I have seen with 1,000+ chips continue to play (and get knocked out).

Sorry, kind of a newb question and slightly OT, but is there a way to cash out the step 1 ticket? Or do you have to go up the steps ladder?

Step1= 3.30$ i believe you can play the 3.30 Rush toruney with this ticket ande KO deep stacks as well
Step2=8.70$ There is only 1 MTT that you can use this ticket with, its a Super SAt to the 750k Guarantee and i believe it is once a day.
Step3=26$ There are a huge amount of MTTs but the best one for this Ticket is the 11am 42k Guarantee runs everyday.
Step4=75$ Also many MTTs that you can use for this as well, however i do not grind this high so dont know vall the MTTs
Step5=216$ The 750k Guarantee is 216$ so there you go :)
Step6=640 The 1Million Guarentee is 640 so there you go :)
Step7=2100$ Gata play the final step no turning back now! (unless u lose on purpose bc you want to have a step 6 again or a step 5 bc u get those tickets again. but why? lol you would be retarded i think but u can still get a lower step again)

I used to play those super turbos for a little while and there was this site that had hand chart that was a pretty good help for me when I was trying to play them... I can't find it in my bookmarks tho, sorry, and stopped playing those because it was taking away from my learning how to play with full stacks.

Also the 26$ ticket can be used for the matrix SnGs, which i don't play these normally, but I used FTP's a couple times to buy step tickets and worked up to the $26 one and always made more than $26 in them. Other than that u have to play the steps or any sng or mtt equal to the ticket i believe.

Thanks for the detailed breakdown! The $3.30 rush tourney sounds like it's in my roll range at the moment, might be worth a shot at some point.

Also the 26$ ticket can be used for the matrix SnGs, which i don't play these normally, but I used FTP's a couple times to buy step tickets and worked up to the $26 one and always made more than $26 in them. Other than that u have to play the steps or any sng or mtt equal to the ticket i believe.

Good to know -- I may use up some of my FTPs this way and Matrix sounds better than all or nothing for a $26 ticket at currently miniscule bankroll.

I won a step 0 ticket in some ftp promo. Played it and won a step 1 ticket.
Did FTP change it? it appears you can only register for step 1s not equivalent mtt's or sit n goes with it anymore.

It was something very similar, but wasn't that exact site.

I thought u could only use step 3 tickets and up for buying in to a mtt or sng of equivalent value, but I haven't played there in a while so im not too sure.

You CANNOT cash out Step 0, 1, or 2 tickets. One MUST get to at least Step 3, where they can play their Step 3 in ticket in any $26 SNG or tournament.

MY mistake everyone u have to get at least a step 3 ticket, the games i metioned do not allow for tickets to be used. My bad :p

I do not see any games that use tickets except for step 3, so if u do the steps u have to go all the way to a minimoum of 3
