Full Tilt $8 + $0.70 (Turbo) $26 Satellite Token games

BeaucoupFish · #1 07-21-2007, 06:10 PM

I have played a couple of dozen of these two tablers, and won perhaps three tokens. Seems that there is a very high luck element, players stall a lot (its a TURBO!), and have little understanding of good satellite strategy - chip leaders getting involved on the bubble etc. In my limited experience, these games seem like a complete waste of time, but perhaps am I just lacking in experience. Can anyone comment?

Would this be better in STT? It's a two tabler.

Yea id ask in the STT forum as most players here wont be able to offer the advice u are looking for.

ive actually done rather well in these but theres always that element of luck with turbos because it gets to that push/fold point and sometimes you just run bad. But they do have the $6 18 man which pays top 4 instead of 5 if your not comfortable with turbos.

If you dont beat these vvv regularly you really must suck.

They are the easiest sat's ever ever ever.

get a hand, stack a donk, fold until the money. rinse repeat.

It is quite possible I really suck at these turbos, but I do not see a way to fold into the money that easily with the blinds escalating so rapidly. My sample size is still small, however. Can you add anything to this? Thanks for the response.
