Adanthar, do you really like turbo sats? Isn't it more about luck?? And, I've read somewhere that 3R to the Million are good?? Great post BTW

Thanks

Does strategy change for higher buyin rebuy satellites? I'm going to be playing in a live $100 rebuy into a $10K event and I'm not sure what strategy to apply yet. It'll probably be 100 people, 4-5 seats.

BUMPing a good pertinent thread...

I'll speak just for my limited experience with some of the $2/R, $3/R, and $5/R turbo rebuys on Stars, but they are extremely soft, even with the very fast structure. You often lose 25-35% of the field before break because people try to play on a single buy-in and lots of people play incredibly badly after the break. A big group of people underestimate how quickly the blinds eat their stack and get blinded away by not building their stack large enough. Another group of people get a hold of a stack large enough to win a ticket, but then get involved unnecessarily in pots and piss it away, not realizing that after a certain point, it's proper strategy to throw away any hand.

Thanks for bumping -- fantastic thread.

I was wondering if there are any basic rules of thumb about how large a stack you need to just fold into the money. I've tried a few sats lately and feel like I'm miscalculating in the mid-late stages (well before the bubble).

So whats the best way to qualify for Aruba, if all UB sats generally pay 1 seat?

Do you know of any good sats like the ones you mention on full tilt?

On sundays for tilt there are tons of sats to the 500K guaranteed, the $24+2, and the $50+5 are both pretty easy. Lots of times I'm able to win 2 seats with about $150 or so.

Thanks for the wisom Adanthar, this was exactly what I was looking for; playing in one of the FTP 750k Sats tonight which I think will have a field of 1000+.
