Wtf.. I have no idea how to play sats..

[plzleenowhammy]

3r turbo sat to million.. approx 16 left 12 get paid and my stack is a little above avg.. I thought shoving preflop would be good but I'd risk not eliminating the all-in guy..

If you are above average, that means you are at least in the top 7 in chips stacks. With 12 spots and 16 remaining, I think you can safely fold in. There is no need to try and knock players out here. You should be able to safely fold into the seat, so save your chips!

How many people have shorter stacks than you? That is a way more important question than if you are above or below average. In my experience, being above average at this point means you are about 5th or 6th in chips.

Anyhow, in sats., I always figure out what the average stack will be when the bubble breaks. That is always the key number to me. If I am above or just below that, I don't worry too much. There are almost always very short stacks and I can fold in with 4 BBs.

jeez i shove flop without a second thought here. you are never ever behind and will be called very rarely. Not sure this is optimal but i think its close....
