Steps Route

April 24, 2009

When playing Steps sit & gos, set yourself a budget and then chose an entry level where you have plenty of shots of progressing. A £200 budget would give you 26 goes at step1 and 7 gos at step 2. Play all the lower steps till they have gone with mixing in a few higher ones as you get the hang of it.

If there are two entries to the next level at the bubble when there is three players left each player has two thirds of a seat. If there is an all in you have to be big favourite to call the all in as you will either win an extra third or lose two thirds.

If you get to the final step the stacks are deeper, be more cautious and aim for the prize. Play to win as there is only one prize and you made it this far.

A typical steps structure from Poker Stars below shows the different buy in levels.
