I will be playing in the Bay 101 Super Satellite this saturday. Top 10 in tourney receive seats in the Bay 101 Open series coming up (4 tournies). There is also $$$ for the top ten.

Here is the tournament structure:
Players will receive one point for every $10 you win in our weekly tournaments. The player with the most points will start with $3000 in chips in the Super Satellite. $40 rebuys and 1 - $40 add-on are allowed in the Super Satellite and will be awarded as part of the prize pool. $40 rebuys for $1,000 in chips and 1 - $40 add-on for $2,000 in chips.

As far as I know this will be spread limit (pretty much NL).

My goal is to make the top ten to get the tourney seats. I have never played in a satellite tourney so I was looking for some advice regarding satelite strategy vs a regular tourney.

What adjustments would you make in your basic strategy? How should I play the rebuy period? What about bubble play? Tighten up to try and back in or take advantage of the players doing this? (I know this all depends on stack size and opponents)

Also if anybody has any info on some of the players in the tourney it would be appreciated. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Let me know if any of you are playing in this so we know to steer clear of each other.

Any advice is appreciated.

Anybody?

Well here is some of my thinking. This is a value added tournamnet, so sinking some extra money into the rebuys does not seem too bad. What I think would be good a good strategy to use would be fairly loose aggressive to try and build up a big stack during the rebuy period. If I did get a fairly large stack then I would probably get very conservative and sit on my stack after the rebuys. With my goal being just to make the top ten I think this is not a horrible strategy. I do know that certain situations will dictate I play differently, but do you think this a good general strategy?

Any constructive critisism accepted.
