Shouldn't have any problem with the shorthanded to tenhanded aspect because I usually play 20 man SNGs so I'm used to it.
two more questions (don't bitch, Tp's paying you

):
If I'm down to three men, there's really no reason to win at one of the lower stages. I could just lose and still advance right? Seems like it.
Also, let's say I play and win up through STep 3. Am I required to play step 4 right then or is there another step 4 that I can enter later, or maybe the next day?
Can't necessarily devote that much time at once to poker. Baby might take a shit or something.
