    Does anyone know if pokerstars intend to bring a pure cash version of steps in the near future?

    I think they should cap the level that one can buy into with cash at Step 4 or so. The point of these should be to give small time players a chance to get big, not to feed fishes to the sharks at the $2000 buy-in step.

    Cosigners?

    I agree. I would also like to see a full table pay out. So everyone that hits the top step gets paid 1-9. This would be cool.

    Something like this maybe:

    Step 6: 9 man ($18,000 prize pool)

    1, 2: Step 7

    3, 4: Step 6

    5, 6: Step 5

    7, 8: Step 4

    9: Step 3

    Step 7:<SPAN> </SPAN>9 man ($54,000 prize pool)

    1, 2, 3:<SPAN> </SPAN>Seats to PCA

    4, 5, : Step 7

    6, 7: Step 6

    7, 8: Step 5

    9: Step 4

    I'm pretty sure Poker stars is using these steps for the PCA to test the waters. It seems like the response has been pretty good, so I am pretty sure they will soon have cash steps. But the thing is Cash steps are kind of unecessary because you could just start at a $5+1 SNG and if you won that, play a $15+1 SNG, and if you win that $25+2 and so and so on.

    I'm waiting to take the plunge at step 6. ( started at step 1 and only had to replay step 3 twice, obv brag) But everytime I'm lurking the table is half filled with pros... guess it don't matter in the long run... we all start with two cards.
