Re: hand vs excellent player, limit satellite
If this guy is as good as you say he is, you're toast. The top 3 places here pay exactly the same, so there's no reason (for him) to try to win 1st and risk going out 4th. He knows this, and yet he 3bet preflop, 3bet the flop, and bet the turn. He knows he only has a little over 1 BB left, so he's screwed if he loses. He's definitely not expecting to lose.
I probably fold preflop, and then just call down when the flop comes and I have top pair. As it is, I probably fold the turn (because I'm likely to have either 0 or 4 outs)
