Well yesterday i played a $0.30 satty for the $2.20 sunday mini slam on pokerstars.
I won that satty and played the mini slam.
At the end i finished 36th in a around 3950 field
Result $9.81 in bounties and $7.33 prizemoney.
Not a bad result(to bad i lost my last flip, else it would be way more) for a $0.30 buyin.
So i think satelites can be a great way to play higher buyins
It depends, i wouldnt recommend like super low buyin sats that earn you spot in another sat to another sat etc.. those are just too hard to get entry for an actual tournament, best sats in my opinion are those where 10th or every 1/10 players will get ticket, so where for example if they buyin for the actual tourney is 500$ play a sat for 50$ either turbo or a regular one with no rebuys/addons but maybe just the reentry or a regular shooutout sat, those have by far the most value out of all, fields are soft as alot of people trying to get into those via these sattelites, its not that hard to get into if you just play tight and have corret push/fold range + chart and you can sometimes tank down and with just 1 or 2 doubleups get into it coz some people fight too hard like it makes a difference if you have 1 bb or 100bbs once you are in the money(ticket in this case), this is just my opinion i play those alot and this is the most value so just my suggestion, gl
oh another thing i forgot to mention, sats are most valueable for bounty/ko tourneys as if you get into one via sat, you basically need just one first knockout to be profitable in that tourney already
Hi to all. What do you think about satellites to expensive tournaments, needs to play or carefully climb the limits?
Do you play them? successfully?
Thanks for answersatellites to big tournaments generally takes practise. Depending which one you play, people shove all in all the time. I play them successfully because i've had the practice. Also if you win, then you get into the bigger tournament. Once you in the big tournament, play carefully. Try not make too many mistakes.
I will admit the one big drawback to satellites is you often get thrown into late registration situations where the easy targets have already busted out. It really blows when you have less than the average stack.
Stars used to have it so you could unregister and take T$ to use for later. This is the exception rather than the rule these days.
Very good. Teach me)satellites fun to play, because you spend less than the amount on the buy-in
thanks for the opinionGenerally I prefer to buy in, to a tournament. Exception maybe the satellites for expencive mtts. I prefer to get the money, from lower buy in mtts and use them for higher buy ins!
what do you mean? I can't understandI always got on well, I do not want to dedicate my time to sat alone.
previously, it was good when you can cancel the registration and get T$I will admit the one big drawback to satellites is you often get thrown into late registration situations where the easy targets have already busted out. It really blows when you have less than the average stack.

I agree with youIt depends on this. When you late reg, you have less of the field to go through and just wait to play your super strong hands. Definitely doesn't hurt.
