ACR Venom Stage 2 Advice

I have two venom stage two tickets.
Anyone have any advice on when to play?
Have you beaten stage 2 how many tickets to stage 3 did they award? How big was stage 2?

Thanks in advance.

Played yesterday the one Stage 2 skip Stage 3. It has 2 Stage 4 Tickets as a prize pool, and we were playing between 9 and 11 players at a time (single table to 2 tables),

There are good chances to reach Stage 4 in this way, but not if you play as a fish like me

The best time to play Venom tickets is on the weekends, when lots of players are active, and so there are more tickets awarded. Level 2 has a good players to prizes ratio, but the players refuse to fold, and will slop-out (a lot), so play tight for this level 2 crazy action.
