I've been playing few pokerstars free pariticipation tournaments, such as hubble's tournament.

I've managed to win a free ticket, finishing 67/9000 when the first 72 grab the ticket, in Hubble's NL Hold'em Freeroll.

I've been trying to play other various games, such as omaha, bedugi, 2-7, reaching around 30K chips in each (22K-61K chips), and it all ended up when I had a really good hand with high preflop and someone else had the nuts. I've realized that I am getting a bit self destructive.

My question is, how many chips you need in order to safely sitout and grab the ticket in each type of game (omaha, bedugi, 2-7, etc). 40K? 60K? 80K?

Honestly I prefer not to sit out. You can fold your heart away but a hand might come around where you need to play and you can either speed up the process instead of sitting out thats boring to me

But she means satellites, where you can sit-out, if you are " 99 % already qualified" with your chips...

Think it depends how fast all of the remaining tables take to play their hands. Why buyin to just sitout. What if you sitout and the tables play very fast, faster than you anticipated. You lose a many blinds and before you know it your stack is getting short. Other players realize this and they will continue to play until your seat is empty then continue to battle it out.
Be careful.

If you sit-out, then you cannot stall or call supershortstacksshoves and also the other players can see that you sit-out and will steal your blinds, otherwise they wouldn´t do it.
I would only sit-out, if i am 90 % sure that i am qualified or if i have a mega big stack and i just was UTG and then i can do other things for an orbit..

By the way, this thread is under "cash games" lol

If you ask me, even if you're gonna do it, make sure you don't hang the sitout sign at the table. Ppl will notice and the rest of the table will "collude" to take your chips away without hurting each other.
