  1. I decided to give the step format a try today and have advanced to Step 4, do you think there is a difference between playing the fpp tourney or just the step 4 buy-in. Seems the fpp would be full of players with a lot of volume (thus my thinking that they play well) or just playing the steps and hoping there are players at some of the seats the same as my caliber. Thanks!

    EDIT: Any advice on play in the higher steps?
  2. Yeah if this happens to you on the 1st hand try not to commit suicide
