FUNSTEP TIPS:

1. Never ever call an all in the first hand unless you have AA or KK. At least two ding dongs do this every tourney. It is free after all.

2. Play your game and don't get upset over bad beats. Poker .com lets you take notes on these players and trust me they play the same way with real money.

3. Once you start winning coupons to FUNSTEP2 you only have a week to use them. Try playing late at night to avoid the bingo players.

4. FUNSTEP3 is usually the toughest to win. These players have won 2 SNGs to get here. Most of them are solid players. Play solid poker.

5. Rinse and repeat until your bankroll is big enough to take to the cash games.
