I got to step 6. Started from 2, and finished first or second in every step so far. Had luck on my side in several instances that didn't force me to repeat steps or knock me out. In the step 5 tourney, I lost all in with AK vs a slightly shorter stack - all in preflop, leaving me with 75 chips left, with 7 players left. I think the blinds were 50/100 at this point.
A few double/triple ups later....I ended up winning this step as well.
I've played in the 650 direct mtt, 175 double shootout, and now this step. Of all the methods, I think this might be the hardest. The 650 is probably the easiest, since there are a lot of players that don't understand correct strategy in the late game. The double shootout usually has enough poor players on the first table to make it +EV, but less than the 650, but the second table is pretty tough. For the steps, once you get to level 6, it's a one shot deal all or none, and a lot of the step 6's are filled with online pros that directly buy in at the higher levels...if you can get to step 6, it's pretty much going to be hard.
I don't know, but I think I'm going to wait for more of the lower buy in qualifiers to feed into the step 6 before I use the tourney ticket.
