Quick guide to satellite qualifying for big events

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).
