Default Re: Quick guide to satellite qualifying for big events

I think it depends on how safe the BB person is. If they have a huge stack such that they are safe even if they called you and lost and then called someone else and lost then they can play king maker and call people when they feel like it. You want someone whose status would change if, and only if, they called you and lost.

The short stacks status changes if he calls you on both a win and a lose. A huge stack may not change on either outcome if he calls. Some one who will be crippled if he calls and loses but will not be any better off if he calls and wins is ideal.
