Create Your Own Steps SNGs at Full Tilt Poker

Can’t Play At Party?
Then This Guide To Creating Your Own Steps Sit N Go Tournaments At Full Tilt Poker Is For You!

Since the UIGEA was passed US residents have not been able to access Party Poker Steps SNGs. For US players, this article aims to redress the balance by covering how to create your own steps SNGs on Full Tilt Poker. Of course using the plan outlined below you could easily adapt this for Poker Stars Steps SNG tournaments too.

Firstly we need to cover a big factor that made Party Steps a success – when you win a low-level Step SNG you gain an entry to the next level, not cash. If we are going to use cash instead then there is an important ingredient also required – discipline!! Temptation to take your money and run without ever reaching the highest ‘step’ will always be there… it is up to you whether to go for the big prize or simply boost your online poker SNG bankroll.

Another aspect of Party Poker Steps is that many of the payout slots are ‘try again’ prizes. Obviously creating our own Full Tilt Poker Steps Sit n Go tournaments we can not use this feature. Instead the plan is to take your initial buy-in and set this money aside as you move up the ladder, rewarding yourself with a ‘try again’ for the 4th at 5th places at the middle limits. We have deliberately made the jumps shallower than the original steps in order to include players with all bankroll levels. If you have a bigger poker bankroll why not use the same schedule but starting with the $6.50c SNGs?

Ok. Enough background here is the plan for SNG Steps at Full Tilt.
