I'm not sure on update time frame. I'm hoping to get a meeting today as i'm leaving for the weekend to do a boot camp. This and about half a dozen other issues I really need to get taken care of soon.

Thanks

Sign-up, but don't deposit.

Sign in and click the Player admin button in the middle of the bottom row. This opens an Explorer window.

On the left side of the Explorer ~15 tabs down clickl the "Play Money Top Up" tab.

Right under the "Funstep SNG Coupon Exchange" click the link to "...exchange $250 play money for Step 1 SnG Coupon."

Retuirn to the Lock Poker start-up screen and click the 'Sit N Go' tab and under it the 'No Limit' tab.

Find a "Fun Step 1" table that is registering, and click the register tab on the bottom right of the screen and you are off.

You can repeat this 10 times per day and "Top Up" your play money account once a day.

The top 3 Step 1 finishers get a Step 2 entry.

The Step 2 third place finisher gets a consolation Step 2 entry and the top two finishers get a Step 3 entry.

The Step 3 third place finisher gets a consolation Step 2 entry. The Step 3 second place finisher gets a consolation Step 3 entry. The winner gets $1.00 US.

Any decent player can turn 10 Step 1 SnGs into 4 or 5 Step 2 entries and then those Step 2 entries into 1 or 2 Step 3 entries. Winning the Step 3 is harder and often becomes a pushing contest as they play a very loose first 2 rounds and very tight after, but a decent player should win 15% of their Step 3s.

Playing 10 step 1s a day (multi-tabling) and then the winning Step 2 entries every day gets you $1 in Step 3 wins every 3rd or 4th day. The $1 can be used in real cash games.

I look at it as a variation on the Chris Ferguson challenge.

Wow, but that's way too much effort for just about everyone, except for people that are either too broke to deposit or so rich that they don't care.

I did say it was for recreational players. I really dislike playing live and only playing one game at a time. I deposited some cash in May and went busto in August. I have tried twice to make a deposit, but have not been successful since then once with Western Union and once with a credit card.

I believe that is correct. I talked to my executive team and they said that times should be going down significantly within the next 30 days due to some new things that will be going in place. I can't go into specifics on the new things because there are 3-4 of them in the works, but due to the situation in the US things could easily change between now and then and I don't want to promise specifics (like the old cash to card option) and have them never come to fruition.

Thanks
