A few 2.20 satellite hands

footnbaseball · #1 07-15-2007, 10:25 PM

I'm going to start playing these 2.20 36 person sats to the sunday 100k guarantee a lot, so if you play them too let me know so I can stay away from you [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I realize that a few of these hands are contradictory (folding KK and raising KK), you can chalk that up to me not necessarily knowing how to play sats well.

These tournaments give seats to the top 6 finishers.

Your first hand history looks wrong, as these tournys end when you get to 6 players ( only 5 in the history).

That hand is on the final table bubble

Ken_AA · #4 07-15-2007, 11:14 PM

Ahh, miss read that.

Hand 1: Standard

Hand 2: Also fine, no reason to get antsy with your size stack.

Hand 3: This is a tough spot, as you may need some more chips here. If UTG has folded to previous raises I would try and take it down preflop.

Hand 4: With the blinds still this low, you probably played it the same way I would have, there was still some poker to be played and if you can get it against a small stack there its a good play in my mind.

Hand 5: That's a fold. With the Button below 1K you can only call with AA's there and maybe not even then. With AK your racing there a ton, and Behind AA and KK a resonable amount of time.

All standard except Push KK UTG.

Also pushing AK on the button isn't an incorrect move here, as the stacks don't garuntee your qualifying. However, this depends on the tables general tightness/looseness.

i think most is fine for playin sats except kk utg how can u fold there raise it up and hope no ace flops id be puttn half my stack in there hopin to take it down pre

He's on the bubble with the KK. He may be able to fold into the money as the 2 bigstacks will prolly bust each other (seen this alot in these tourney's). If that's not the case Button will prolly blind off soon. So I don't think folding is that bad, but pushing wouldn't be bad either.

sah_24 · #8 07-16-2007, 12:25 PM

just kk is such a big hand and u can pick up whats in the pot 80% of the time which gives u another round for someone to get broke. And if u do get called then ur in a great spot the majority of the time or at worst in a 70 30 so y would fold here if u double here u dont need to play another hand

if u give me a 70 30 for my seat at the start of the tourney im takin it arent u?
