Have you ever held a step ticket in your account for a long time because
you forgot about it? More than a year? Is it still there a year or two
later? Or does it eventually expire?
Have you ever used a step 4 ticket to register for a $215 non-step
tournament? And then changed your mind and unregistered? Was the result
of unregistering that you got your step 4 ticket back or that you got some
T$ to play in another tournament? If you got T$, was it the exact amount
needed to directly register for a step 4 tournament?
Do you get the impression that the step tournaments are harder or easier to
win than non-step tournaments?
There is No Expiration of Step Tickets. If you register for a $215
tournament and you then unregister, you will get your Step 4 Ticket
back, not T$.
Obviously the higher you advance in the Step Tournaments, the harder
they are. I had Two Step 6 Tickets which I won in March and I tried to
qualify for the WSOP with them. I ended up coming in Second in one of
them, winning $3000. You will find several Specialists at the Step 6
level but they can be beaten.
------
worth noting however, step 4 tickets may now be used to
buy into non-step tourneys (such as the sunday million.)
Good luck.
