To win a seat, you must play two 9-handed tables and win 1st in both. You are "in the money" once you conquer your first table. At the second table, 1st gets a seat, 2nd - 8th get a buy-in refund and 9th get some cash less than the buy-in amount.
What are the differences in strategy that must be used in beating these satellites? In normal SNGs that pay top 3, the correct strategy usually is to play tight early and then aggressive late when blinds are significant. However in the shootouts you MUST place 1st (especially at the first table, where anything below first receives nothing).
Utilize the same SNG strategy or take some gambles early to build your stack? Anyone who has already won one of these shootouts care to give some input?
