Playing a Satellite - advice on strategy differences?
OK, so my local casino has a tournament series which culminates in a $3K main event in a few weeks. They have had weekly $45r & $70FO tourneys for about 12-15 weeks. These tournaments pay a combo of cash & tickets (the rebuy usually pays 6 places, top 3 get tickets + cash, the FO is usually 1 ticket + cash & paid down to 6 places).
Anyhow, I have won my way into all 4 "major" satellite's into the $3K event. These are in the form of 2 X $340 rebuys ($150 rebuys, $250 double add on) and 2 X $560 FO's. I expect each of these events will attract 40-50 runners via guys receiving tickets & some buying in. I don't expect the rebuy to be very active since a lot of these guys are $45r qualifiers & it'll be over their head. Anyhow - just looking for any basic strategical differences in playing Satty's as opposed to normal paying MTT's. Is there any difference in the early "chip accumulation" stages? Or only later around the bubble? Any advice welcome...

I'll assume there's really no change to optimal strategy until you get near the bubble then [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Re: Playing a Satellite - advice on strategy differences?
Depends on entrants, I guess. 1 ticket will be given for every $3K in the pool (IE - 1 in 6 for the $560 FO). I'm not sure how the surplus will be split though.
EG - if there's 34 entrants, then there'd be $17K in the pool, so 5 tickets + $2K. Whether that'd all just got to the 6th place finisher (most likely IMO) or $1500 to 6th & $500 to 8th maybe... Not sure.

Re: Playing a Satellite - advice on strategy differences?
oh, I thought you were saying that you get the seat+cash. I played a sat a Bay 101 once where they were paying 9 seats and cash that ended up making it play like a regular freezout.

Re: Playing a Satellite - advice on strategy differences?
Sorry, worded that poorly. The tournaments leading into these satellite's played like a normal MTT (with cash + tickets), but these will be different.
Thanks for your replies, though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
