Brian, answer is above, but:

chip leader would be first for the table down to third. Yes, you stop at 3 and wait for the other tables to finish.

$5 + 1 = 20% rake = total ripoff.

Default hmmm


make it to final round garanteed $20 good profit


Let me make some points why I like these things, follow along.

how many times in a MTT have you played one table for about 30 minutes worked up a good table image and about to make some moves and guess what shift time crap a whole new table. Or how many times have you just run a table and guess what move time again. Dont you just hate that? Another thing I like is the fact you just have to get 3rd to pay for your torney and the rest is just free money. I might actully put money online sometime the next month or so to just play these they seem fun. Not alot of money though have to stick to origional plan.

Aside from the whole rake thing....this doesn't really seem like a great value. Basically to make the good money, you need to finish in the money in the final round. Which basically means you're were top 3 for 4 rounds in a row. If you're able to consistently place that high, you might as well go to the steps instead. It just seems like it takes way too much time and your chances of winning something decent is harder than a regular MTT.

I disagree you can make about a $30-$40 profit just finishing 3rd in each round but the last one. I personally dont think these are harder then regualr MTT's, also in the step tornies you have to finish higher then 3rd to progress some steps. I know in the mini steps you have to finish 1st at one point.


im watching one now here are the payouts,


round 1
1st 11.23
2nd 7.48
3rd 6.23


round 2
1st 18.30
2nd 12.93
3rd 10.16


round 3
1st 36.07
2nd 24.04
3rd 20.03


round 4
1st 187.32
2nd 112.38
3rd 74.92
