Fun Steps experiment

I had an idea on Wednesday to try something with the fun steps. I play the Merge Network on multiple skins as I usually do with any network. I thought it would be interesting to see what kind of money could be made with the fun steps. This is how I have decided to approach these little do-dads:)

1. Using 5 skins on the Merge Network, I will push all in on every starting hand.:) Thats 10 steps a day per skin.(50 step 1's per day)
2. The ones I double up on or better, I will click sit out and fold!
3. This comes out to an average of 3 out of 10 step 2's per skin.
4. After using all 10 steps and pushing with all, I will log off and move to another skin.(Approx. 10 minutes per skin)

Pretty simple!

Over the course of 5 days and approx. 5 hours committed, I have accrued 78 step 2's(All skins combined)

5. On Day 6 I will attempt to play the Step 2's with a very similiar approach to an All-in or Fold SnG!
6. On the Step 3's I will play properly on Day 7 and see what comes out in the wash.

Will update results!.........................

i had a similar concept. i was not always so consistent on the all in
i win more step 2s that way. but do play very agressively. great idea

its all about getin it all in at the rite time there lol gl bud they can be a good way to get a free $1 but not easy gl

1 more thing. fs 2s are more difficult.
chances are nobody will call you. they play much tighter and the games seem to last twice as long
step 3s are crazy.
i have racked up so many of each and still ended up with nothing

like it sounds great

Update: I have currently used 15 of the step 2's and have walked away with three step 3's and one step 2! Time committed: 1hr 22min. total. I must add, I had to adjust my approach slightly, deeper in the game. I waited till blinds hit level 5 to sit back in, then played accordingly! Sidebar: I doubled up with starting hand 3x!

Sounds like an interesting experiment. You might come out with a little money in the end.

i played 10 steps 1s cause i got bored last night and sat out the whole way. made 4 step 2s sitting out

I guess I should apologize to those who take the Steps so serious! But I won't:)....LOL

lol i hate those fun steps and never play them , gl with that :)

ive only ever gotten one step 3 and i didnt win. no $1 for me...

Think i won the dollar once, then went to the cash tables and doubled up. lol
That was years ago.

Lol, interesting approach for doing this, maybe I will give it a try.

i hate when people sit out it usually involves running out the clock that is so annoying

Good Luck with the steps. I dont really play them much anymore. I won 1 step 3 and havnt looked back. building my bankroll from the 1$ earned. bankroll is now over 30$.

interesting idea. fun steps and freerolls is how to get started if you don't want to deposit. I've had success at both. Good luck in you endeavor.

I didn't know you could do that. I thought the steps are tied to 1 account. Like just one person. Still, awesome job. And on step 2's, people sometimes push on the first hand too.

i have won a cpl step 3's but it seems the payout just isnt worth the effort There are better ways to start a bankroll IMHO

steps are boring....but good when you need to help build your roll.....:p

stepsissoboring but ifyoulove it gl to you........

Soooo any more updates?? did you ever end up winning anything with your experiment?

never played this types , gl to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 23

i am gonna go on fun step spree and will let ya'all know if it was worth mine time hmmmm.

i had the same idea and actully get alot of step 2's. i end up with about 4 step 3's a week but only win one out of every 5 step 3's

Sounds like an interesting experiment. You might come out with a little money in the end.

I like the idea for the experiment, being that it is much less time consuming. However, I wouldn't put too much stock in getting the step 2 tickets. I never win less than 50% of the Step 1's, sometimes closer to 80%. The step 2's start to get a little tougher, so I don't think a single double up would be enough to for a sit out and win.
