1.10/45 Sats vs 1.10/45 Turbos

[MJBuddy]

Last night 2.20s started in the afternoon and ran every two hours until later that evening when it ran 1/hour or so. I caught the last one this morning at 10 or so (busted 36th; 30 paid lawl; triple bad beats + card dead while I watched....horrible bubble play); keeping eyes open for others popping up.

Nevermind; About 15 just popped up starting in an hour.

Sadly, I could not win a 2.20 tonight.... I played 2. I had to qualify in a 1.10 instead. Had the biggest donk ever to my right, then changed tables and he was to my left. He called everything and I mean everything and almost qualified. Sokay, I used that against him and took from his stack in some key situations to build to 48M at final table. Only had to play a couple of hands and put out the 5th place finisher.

I've been running so bad in these; immensely :P.

However, finally took two down back to back and won back all my losses....I like sats....a lot.


Honestly, I fully plan to grind out the 2.20 permanently. It's soft as all hell (bad flipping variance = running bad), and it's possible to have an M lower than .04 and still win...I saw 10 guys get away with it tonight.

Edit: and the 2.20s look to be officially running 24/7 now.

[PsYcOsNiPeR]

so...why would is it so +EV to play in the $2.20 instead of the $1 45?

[mflip]

The 2.20's give out 40-50 seats and the 1.10's give out 4.

Don't laugh, but I'm currently grinding $1.20 STTs. (OK, go ahead and laugh. Easily beatable even with the 20% rake, and I'm building a roll after turning 3000 play chips into $12. Bankroll management FTW.)

I throw in one of these $1.10s along with 2 $1.20 STTs per session now, but I'll never beat them if I don't stop BLUFFING GODDAMN CALLING STATIONS and running bad with big pairs. 0/3 so far, but the play is possibly worse than the play money games.

I've heard this before.

Please explain how you turned 3000 play money chips into real $$$.

Does it involve selling them on ebay? Freerolls? Something else?

So, what do you guys think? 1/45 reg vs 1/45 sat? I think the sat will be sweet. Altough ending first in the regular isn't that hard either (and +4$).

And I would love to see the $2.2 in 15 minute blinds. They might take too long but reduces the crapshoot near the bubble alot.

By the way, the 100k has a maximum of 15000 participants. But at the current rate and seeing that the sats are getting more popular too I guess the limit will be reached before sunday. What will happen to the sats? Will you just get straight T's or do they get canceled?
