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

Are you serious? Two shots at the 225 and I have to win one... or some other method which I haven't devised yet.
Is there a better plan for increasing my odds of getting $2k in tourny chips?

How about playing (if they still have them), the $50 stt. For $500, you will have 10 shots at these. The final two players in each tourney get a $225 tourney token. By playing 10 of these, you should finish in the top 2 at least 2 times statistically, and probably closer to 4 or 5 based on the low level of play.
You then take those 4 $225 tourney tokens and play 4 of the $225 stts.
Playing 4 of the $225stt, you should be able to chop a top two finish in one of them. Guaranteed? No. But, a chop in only one tourney would give you: 2 $500 tourney tokens and $60 bucks, (not including tipping).
Okay, so now you have $1000 in tourney chips. Save $100 in case you go busto, and have to go back slumming in the $50stts. You have 4 more shots at the $225, or 5 shots at the $175, (which pays 3 $500 tokens at $120 to a non-chopping winner), or even 7 shots at the $125 (2 $500 tokens and $120 to a non-chopping winner).
This is going to be my route. Last year I said screw the grind up and took my shot at the $375 immediately after the first $50 win. Final 4 players equal in chips. I push with my A/K in first position and get called by A/Qo and lose. Sigh.
