Play tight!!! lol
Look to maintain a stack with some fold
equity so that when it gets close to (or on) bubble, you will have a decent stack to shove with when you're needing to take down the blinds.
Get some decent player reads and know who will call down light & who won't (ie. some bigstacks won't bother to call your shoves while others think it's their job to do so,.. try to discern between the two).
A common mistake by many satellite players is getting involved in way too many
hands at mid-levels. It's just not necessary. If you have a decent stack, chips won aren't nearly as valuable to you in comparison to 'chips lost' (ie. let's say you're sitting with 5,000 chips, about avg., winning a 2,000 chip pot is of far less benefit compared to losing that 2,000 chip pot < sounds obvious BUT so many players will spew off a good chunk of their stack, playing a satellite as if it were a cash table.
