I would just fold preflop in your spot. Just wait for someone to get knocked out.

This is possibly the worst advice i've ever heard... it's HU between you and the blinds, you have an A and you're getting like 4-1 on your call, and good odds if you put him all in, plus there is the (strong) chance that he folds hoping to make the money.

Ouch. Well MP3 only has 1BB and the button only has a little over 1BB. We are only waiting for 1 person to be eliminated. It seems very likely to me we can fold into the seat.

The conerter doesn't say but there's 4k of antees in the pot.

If I play and lose:
.1. I'm down to 20k. I can auto fold abouttwo orbits.
.2. BB will have almost 24k.

If I play and win:
I win.

If I fold:
.1. I'm down to 24k. I can auto fold the same two orbits.
.2. BB will have about 18k


Seems like an easy choice to me.

If you put BB all in and he calls and you lose, you are left with about 16k. Since you say there are 400$ antes, this is about 1 orbit if you autofold, an orbit cost 15600.

121 players left for 120 seats. You have close to an average stack and have just cleared the blinds. Even if this is a turbo, you probably can clear the blinds again. Fold preflop.

So I marginally squeeze in until I'm all in on the BB with nothing vs. all in on the BB but having almost a full BB.

In either case I'm surpised that calling the tiny stack BB in a battle of the blinds with an ace would cause so much controversy. Makes me take a step back [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I think the OP is a joke. 121 players left and 120 seats; you just cleared the blinds. A basic rule of supersatellites is you steal from the big stacks not the small stacks.

Either you know nothing about supersatellite play or this is a hoax.

You should be sitting out, having a beer in the sun. You finished the tournament, won a seat. Why on earth are you playing A2?
