Derail on funsteps......

What do you think the implications of paying 50c 30c 20 to 1st 2nd 3rd in step 3 would be for carbon poker?

More people would cash, more people would get a roll together, more people would pay rake if they succeed.

Perhaps it would become attractive to people who can play better. Only paying 1st out of ten makes it more luck oriented and perhaps keeps better players away?

We were talking about it on another thread. I say play it. If you like mtt play the .11 or .6 and do your best. If you like cash game hope you hit and get out. But in between play more steps. I dont know I am no pro but I would say DO NOT play the .11 short stacked super turbo SNG to much of a coin flip I think.

Just my 2 cents,
Dooley

lol I know it is the best dollar you ever had.

lol I lost my dollar in two days. Basically, a combination of sucking at limit holdem, not hitting bingos in turbos sngs, and rake whittling. :(. I guess I will save up more this time. BTW, the 2nd dollar wasn't as gratifying to win :( damn diminishing returns on happiness. lol.

Well done. Where is your BR at now?

BAM!

Yeh, I played a 1dollar double or nothing and I don't think it was really worth it. Extremely boring, but the up side is that you only need to win 3 hands to get a double up.

I played a coin flip the other day. One hand winner take all and I won.

I play only step 1s until i have about 20-30 step 2 tickets. I can then earn 5-10 step 3 tickets. this puts less pressure on each individual step 3 ticket and allows you to change your mindset from donkey step 1s to tighter step 3s

I have been doing something a little similar, I play 2 fun step 1's at a time till they are all used up for the day. Then I move on to the fun step 2's and so on.

took me a few weeks to get the dollar aswell. Try just building as most step 1 into 2s for 1 week. then take your 2s and do the same into step 3 coupons. you will get the dollar sooner or later. After my first I stretched that thing as far as i could and earned 11 points then used those up and im grinding once again. GOODLUCK

Fun step coupons expire after a week. I found this out the hard way when I had a bunch of step 3s saved up that "disappeared".
