Default Re: Poker Etiquette In Satellites

[ QUOTE ]
It's a satellite and you are the big stack. You should be raising a ton of hands regardless of what cards you hold and how many chips the short stack in the BB has.

This is obviously terrible satellite advice.

Anyhow, to the OP, I would have folded in your spot. In fact, the best move probably would have been to close the table b/c the only way for you to lose the seat would be to play a hand(s).

However, it is your satellite, your money, and your chips to play with. You can raise and do whatever the hell you want.

FWIW, the only economical reason for raising here is in hopes of ending the satellite earlier so you can play another game, have sex with some individual, etc. Otherwise, there is no economical reason for playing. There are however a plethora of non-economical reasons for playing (e.g. for the hell of it, to spite someone else, etc.)
