Default Re: My WSOP satelitte theory

In general I never play in satelittes, for the simple reason that it forces me to spend money in a way I otherwise wouldn't, as you stated.

However, I decided to try to qualify for the WSOP this year, so I'm going to be playing in them. I've played in a couple of the Empire 100+10's that give away 1 seat guarenteed. I've found that people adjust very poorly to the payout structure of these. A survivalist strategy is obviously stupid in a tournament that just pays one spot, but it seems like people in these actually play TIGHTER than they do in normal events. I'm not positive this justifies playing in these tournaments from a purely logical standpoint, but it can't be that wrong, and hey.. it's fun. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
