Absolute Poker Step Tournaments

Everyone dreams of playing in the biggest tournaments in the world – but most of us don’t have the bankroll to jump right into games that cost thousands of dollars to buy into. Satellites are always an option, but they’re literally a hit or miss proposition: either you make the tournament, or you go home with nothing.

Absolute Poker has a third way to take your shot at the big time: Steps Tournaments. With Absolute Poker Step Tournaments, you can jump in at any of ten steps worth of tournament buy-ins, and attempt to work your way up the ladder until you reach the top. The Steps are arranged so that any player – from a microstakes grinder to a world-class pro – can find a level that’s perfect for them to jump into. Each step has a unique buy-in, as follows:

• Step 1: $0.10 + $0.01
• Step 2: $0.30 + $0.04
• Step 3: $1 + $0.10
• Step 4: $3 + $0.23
• Step 5: $10 + $1
• Step 6: $30 + $2.35
• Step 7: $90 + $7.15
• Step 8: $250 + $20
• Step 9: $760 + $40
• Step 10: $2,250 + $100

At each step, you’ll have the ability to play in nine-player sit-and-go tournaments. The best part of these step tournaments is that you won’t have to finish first in order to keep going in tour quest to reach the final step! For instance, let’s say you jump in and play a tournament at the Step 5 level. Finish first or second, and you’ll get a free entry into a Step 6 tournament – finding yourself one step closer to your ultimate goal. Finish 3rd or 4th, and no harm done; you’ll get to try Step 5 again for free. Finish fifth, and you’ll get a consolation prize, being allowed to move down to Step 4 and try again. With most of the table winning something, you’ll get a lot of value each time you play in an Absolute Poker Step Tournament.

What’s the ultimate prize at the end of the road, should you succeed in a Step 10 tournament? That’s up to you. If you’d like cash rewards, a Step 10 cash tournament offers prizes of $12,000 for first, $5,250 for second, and $3,000 for third – not too shabby if you bought in for a dime at Step 1! If your goal is instead to win a seat into a major live poker tournament, Absolute Poker has Step 10 tournaments that offer $12,000 packages to the winners, allowing them to play in great poker tournaments around the world. Finishing 2nd, 3rd or 4th in one of these events will allow you to try against at Step 10 too; 5th, 6th and 7th place finishers also receive free entries to lower step events.

Step events allow every poker player to live the dream of working their way up to high stakes poker action at their own pace, with plenty of second chances along the way. Whether you’re starting from penny stakes or just need to move up a couple levels to get there, Absolute Poker Step Tournaments will help you reach your poker dreams.
