A variation on Adanthar's Party Steps theme 4 the bankroll deficient

I was always intrigued by Adanthar’s 2 stickied posts about satellites on 2+. “The Party Steps are your friends,” as I recall his prose. Party was closed to Americans before I ever did anything about it, though. I did once get a free cd from Empire Poker and free rolled my way to a $150 bankroll. I withdrew the money via Neteller, because my girlfriend, at the time, called it “Dead People Poker” because of the mannequinesque characters you used instead of avatars there. I didn’t know Empire was a Party skin until months after I left, or what a skin was, for that fact.

A few months ago Poker Stars came up with the Super Bowl of micro balling, The Sunday 100 Grand, although it’s actually goes off for $200k every Sunday, and you only have to beat a NHL hockey stadium full of people to get the $20k first prize. Here’s a little low risk/ Huge potential and not too much time way to finance a major shot for two dollars twenty cents. It’s perfect for old people (46+) in that it requires playing only 1 table at a time and “no turbos” required.

Step 1

Play the $2.2mtt to the Sunday Hundred Grand, it goes off at 25 minutes past the hour, every hour. At night (EDT) it also goes off at 55 minutes past the hour. One out of 5.5 win tickets to the Sunday Hundy. Two and a half double ups will get you the prize. It takes less than 2 hours to play this. Withdraw from the Sunday Hundred Grand and take the 11 T$. As Bond said, earlier this week, T$ are just as good as real dollars, if you play tournaments.

Step 2

Now the tricky part. Take the T$11 and enter an $11stt. It pays prizes to 1 out of 3 and takes about an hour to play. A double up should get you to the prize money. You have to win 1st to take the next step, but a 3rd or 2nd prize converts your T$ into real $. Do another $11stt, if you take 2nd or 3rd, or if you’re a weak/tightie, like myself, go back to Step 1.

Step 3

Ok, you got the $45, now play the $39mtt sat to The Sunday Warm Up. It pays 1 out of six, and takes about two hours. 2.5 double ups should win the prize. Withdraw from the Sunday Warm Up, you now have T$215 plus $6 real cash. Play the Sunday Hundy 20 times, or the Sunday Million once, or the $55 Daily 50 Grand 4 times, you get the idea microballah. Either way, this is a low risk, low time, HUGE shot for two dollars twenty cents.
