2013 WSOP ME Satty - Advice

[cander128]

I was unable to track the 4/28 two seat guarantee but 4 tickets and $10k for fifth is what was paid. It appears late entries did good this time around. Players 145 and 134 won tickets and 116 won the 10k, with a total of 149 entries 145 had to be near end of late reg.

One other thing to consider is late registration is open longer the more seats guaranteed.

^this. I have won seats in online satties to live events many times. Although it ought to be the same mathematically, my experience is that it feels a heck of a lot easier to be in the top 10 of a big field than to win outright in a smaller one.

I think it probably depends on how good your shorthanded play is.

Personally I prefer smaller fields (and if at all possible 6-max table structures).

Well I am out. 200th (there is still late registration though).

Very disappointing. I just got dealt crap, and did the best I could.

I ended up shoving 3200 (slightly above 10 BB's) into 2800 pot Q-J-9 two spades giving me the nut flush draw. I got check/called byA-Jo (the original raiser), and my flush did not hit. It was about 35%of his stack to make the call.

I really thought I would be able to do better. I will try again next year I suppose.

MTT's have alot of variance. I played well, and did not make many mistakes. However, if you can't get cards, you can't win. Oh well.

how did you end up with and SPR of 1 on the flop?

Playing good is whats important. Getting to the main event and not playing good wouldn't be much better, although the trip and everything would be nice. I have heard that busting out of the main event is the most depressing moment in a poker players career.

I assume you are asking how did the pot end up being the size it was, making a shove about pot size....

UTC +1 raise to 3x, I call, both blinds call ( I think, but it's been a while now). It was a multi way pot.
