$2 sat to $10 sunday tourney - KK with 30 people before money

[Ontario_Tory]

Playing these for some sh*ts & giggles, and to work on my Sat strategy.

77 runners left, top 47 get seats. Average stack ~5k, I have ~7k.

This is NOT a turbo. Blinds are going up slowly.

KK an easy fold based on big stack's raise? Or should I be playing it?

I'd say you can fold in. These usually end at like 200/400/50, maybe 300/600/50.

OK - how about this one. Same tourney, right on the bubble. 49 people left, 46 seats, 47th place gets $10

I'm BB - blinds are 400/800/50

LOL - no, it was H4H by this point.

I folded all the way into the seat, but man it was close. Much closer than I thought it would be...

I still think the KK hand was a fold. If it was a few orbits later (the same guy was raising into me every time) it would have been a push.

These are kindof interesting tourneys - unlike the WSOP ones, these are not turbos... I like the lack-of-crap-shoot aspect.

I'm curious on the first one what the $ev breakdown would be here. Does anyone have an ICM calc that can handle such a large remaining field?

Second looks like a clear fold (guessing there were at least a few shorter stacks on other tables).

I'm definitly going to have to check these out to beef up on my sat game as well. Looks like a good format (and probably very soft).

how is #1 a fold in a TWO DOLLAR SATELITE?

folding the first hand is absolutely ridiculous 30 from the money.

hand #2 is a fold.
