is anybody playing the steps SnG on PP? i just tryied them about a week ago and now it seems that im stuck with a step 4 and a step 5 ticket and i dont have with who to play those steps. it took me about 3 days to manage to play step 4 when i won my step 5 ticket. it seems that there are not to many people that are playing the steps over 4. does anybody knows why? so i was just asking if anybody knows the times or the days when there are people playing the last steps because i really want to play step 6 to see in i can get the $2000. or i will have $240 stuck in steps tickets

Online poker is going down, less and less players playing online cos of legislation ect. So with these higher steps and so higher buyins not many play these. Problably the only network with still good working steps is Stars.

i've waited 8 hours till now to play at least step 4 and it seems that it's just me an other guy registered... wat i don't understand it's that there are people playing steps 1-3 but not the other ones ...and i've contacted support on PP to ask if i could use the tickets for other tourneys or if i could get T$ .... but it seems that T$ are awarded just for multiple entries which is annoying i would've not played them if i would've known

I was going to play those steps as well beginning of the week, but then i saw that the amounts were useless to enter any big tournaments with. The other big sites at least keep the step prizes equal to a 100.000k or the monthly million or something. So the only use was to play to the end, and try to get the cash for the highest one. Then I saw all the higher step tables were empty for days, and I decided to not even start them.
Weird, but the step system on Party is basically worthless. Sorry you got caught up in it.

I like the step tourneys, but the problem was the higher step levels. The waiting time is really to long. But the steps are the best way for micro level players to win a big price.

well to be fair stars also is a headache when it comes to finding opposition to play at the higher steps (4+) and if you do not like holdem then it is a real bummer...i imagine if stars have problems with liquidity with steps then pp is just in no mans land...if you can use step tickets to buy in to other tourneys-then this is the way to go...
