Also, I think i'll stop the experiment there. On one hand because, tbh, I am bit bored of playing SNGs as they are just so mechanical. But also because since i now moved up to 200nl at the ring games, and thus I can now afford to buy in directly for the Sunday tournaments within the bounds of sound bankroll management.

So overall the experiement was a success? Just a quick question what type of roll would you need to try such an experiement? I'm sry if the question has been asked already, but was wondering your thoughts on it? Also overall game play in these are they easier to get to say step 2s, rather then 4s and up? Also another question can you sell the tickets or not? Or do you have to play in the say said tourney with them? Or can you use them for anything else you would like? I know there alot of questions but was thinking of trying same thing, just need these questions looked into for me at first from someone who's already done it/past this faze?

TY&Congrats on the Return🙂

Depends how you define success. It shows a profit. But my hourly win rate ends up too low to make this a reasonable alternative to ring games from a moneymaking point of view, and playing SNGs is also a lot less fun than cash for me.

imo, it should be a reasonable amount that you can lose, and consider this as taking a shot. I think overall the rake is too high to justify making this your regular game.

Play is pretty terrible overall at steps 1 to 3. But you still need to get lucky to cash as most of the play happens in push/fold mode with high blinds, so even if you push/fold better than the rest, it's only a somewhat marginal edge.

Also another question can you sell the tickets or not?

No

Or do you have to play in the say said tourney with them?

yes. Either the $215 tournaments using step4 tickets or the big live tournaments by winning a step6.
 
Thx B. Just have to ask another question here. I noticed your goal was to make as many step 4 tickets as possible.

So here's the question I have to ask. If step 1s cost $7.50 and they buy you into step 2s which there value is $27 then your return is $19.50 correct? Would it not be possible to take your $27 or step 2 ticket and just reuse them to buy-into step 1s all over again? So that would be $27/$7.50=3.6 step 1 games, so just say 3. Now if you were to proceed in all of them then you would have 3(Step 2s)x($)27=$81. My overall question is if the Step 1s are easy as you stated (Which I believe you have proven to everyone here) Then would it not be +EV just to take the said $81 in steps money and reuse them again to play in step1s all over again. That would allow you to play in say 10.8 (more or less 10 games), and if you were to make it in the top 2 spots in all of them then that would mean 27x10=$270 Correct me if i'm missing something here?

Also was wondering what the higher and higher step games are for? Like I know the value of say step 5 is $700 so does this mean it can only be used for tourneys, and only tourneys? Or can it also be used for SNG's? Say $50 ones?

Thx B once again, I know I'm a pain in the ass but I'm really going to try to do this (Cuz seriously you've given me another means to make something/little out of nothing😀 ).

it's not T$ that you get, it's tickets. They can only be used to enter the specific type of tournament that the ticket specifies
 
So in other words you can't use the say step 5 ($700) to buy-into say 3 Sunday Millions or Warm-ups?

I know the question is dumb just have to ask to clarrify things for me cuz if that's the case then for me this whole thing is -EV since I have yet to cash at the bigger tourneys at all😱 .

Ty for taking up your time, and for you being such a generous/kind/humble human being taking the time out for the likes of this little man😉 .

Now how can you refuse to all that ass kissing🙂 😀
