Satelite question: priced in, or wait for a better spot?
 

I have a very limited amount of experience playing satelites, and I felt that during this tourney.
Here is one of the hands that I was most unsure about.

Avg stack: 6952
people left: 378
Places getting paid: 300

Full Tilt Poker, NL Hold'em Tournament, 400/800 Blinds, 100 Ante, 9 Players

MP2: 4,064
CO: 3,285
BTN: 6,299
SB: 4,495
Hero (BB): 5,980
UTG: 5,371
UTG+1: 3,529
UTG+2: 8,230
MP1: 3,377

Pre-Flop: (2,100) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (BB)
3 folds, <font color="red">MP1 raises to 3,277 and is All-In</font>, 2 folds, BTN folds, SB folds, Hero ???

This is an insta fold..becuase 300th place is just as good as 1st in this tourney.

are you serious? .....easy fold and dont think twice about it

Re: Satelite question: priced in, or wait for a better spot?
 

Even if it was a regular tournament you are not priced into this hand.

I would only call this if I had ~2.5BB left.

even if it was then still prob a no

Re: Satelite question: priced in, or wait for a better spot?

You're not getting good odds (2.1) and its for over half your stack. If you pass on this, you'll still have a decent stack with fold equity.
