So I recently had a nice run on Steps on Full Tilt.

I originally had thought I would start playing tickets all the way up to the 12k package, but I got a Step 6 ticket ($640) and realized that might not be the best thing to do, since the odds of my 1 Step 6 making up two more ranks seems to be pretty low.

After watching Cougar's videos I got another idea to do a block of 20 Step 1s and try and get as many Step 5s as I could with it.  (Ended up with 2 Step 5s)

So now I am sitting on 1 Step 6 ($640) and 2 Step 5s ($216).

I can only use them for tournament buy-ins.  What is my best choice on FT?

I would love play a live event, but I don't know what is the smartest thing to do in this situation.

Thinks I have thought about:

1. Play some or all of the up the Steps to see if I can get the 12k winner's choice.  (Perhaps play some more 20 Step 1 block to get a better chance first)

2. Use the Step 6 for the WPT Shooting stars sat on Sunday.

3. Wait on the Step 6 for WSOP sats figuring they will be softer since there will be more lower sat entries into them.

4. Use Step 5s for Sunday 750k.

5. Use Step 5 for the Deepstack qualifier in Reno.

6. Use Step 6 for Monthly 1 Mil.

7. User Step 5 for mini-FTOPs 2 day event. (This seems like it might be fun)

 

I am willing to wait to use the Step 6 for a more profitable time.  My total bankroll is around 4k-ish, so I am open to take some reasonable shots to build.  Right now I am only playing MTTs of ABI of $10 until I get more cushion in my bankroll.

Overall, I am looking to do the wisest thing with these tickets.

 

Thanks for any help.
