Badugi and I have both placed in a satellite so far; he in a FPP and I in a $36+3.

My starting table was pretty tough. Not much limping and people were showing solid hands. (I think they were playing almost too tightly, but not so much that I found it easy to take advantage of.)

But, I felt I had a substantial advantage at the end due to players not understanding stack preservation in satellites. I was severely short stacked about three from the money but players with bigger stacks kept playing like nothing had changed, so I got to fold a lot and watch them turn their decent stacks into smaller ones.

(One poor guy was all-in predraw for his last chips, made a wheel, and got half.)
