    For those of you that have not tried these, you might want to take a look at them. I have cashed 12K in the last 2 weeks. I do not like party's format however they are the only site that I know of that are running them. I wish another site would pick them up as well.

    Just

    but man these steps are brutal!!!especialy the first 2

    800 chips to start blinds increase very quick, and 4-6 callers

    when u go all in with AA. much harder than it seems at least for me.

    Any advice for adjusting to this format? I do great at the $20-$30) sitngos on ultimate

    but cant seem to find the right srategy for these.

    Royal Vegas Poker has their own version of Step Sit and Go's called "Rounders Tournaments"

    Theyre slightly different than party, starting with $5 buy-in tourneys culminating in $500 buy-ins with a $3000 first prize.

    Had my first cash in the single table step this week (2nd place) after 2 unsuccessful step 5s. Just for those who don't know, 5 is no slim pickins. When I went to register for step 5 after working my way up the ladder, I saw 3 big name players seated at the table waiting for a game, they obviously bought in for the $1060. I was feeling it and wanted to play with these guys, as it turns out 2 of them were taken out early on bad beats and the other sucked out on me to take 1st. Not easy to work your way up to step 5, and it doesn't get much easier once you get there.
