Default Re: Rio single-table satellites are a pretty bad value, eh?

They are an awesome value because the opponents are terrible (at least they were last year).

they play pretty much like a turbo.
I made pretty decent cash on those things.

Example hand from a $225 last year:
First level, maybe the 6th hand or so.
Blinds 25/25, 1500 starting chips.

UTG+1 raise 3x BB
MP cold-calls
Button goes all-in
UTG+1 insta-calls
MP folds

UTG+1 shows KJo
Button shows 77

Button doubles-up (and later it is just me and the button heads-up and we make a deal to split the prize)
