Re: A2s in SB in supersatellite
I am a pretty strong adherent of the 10xBB rule, so I wouldn't make a small raise. You can still lose a lot of chip with the smaller raise. I think completing or folding may be better, even though that is not how you usually play this hand.
I went ahead and pushed, got called by 55, lost, and was down to 8K chips, and finish 4th.
I play satellite strategy pretty strongly, playing much tighter big stacked than short stacked. I didn't have that big a lead, so I went ahead and pushed. But maybe it would have been better to wait and let someone else get busted out. If I get short stacked, I can always push at a big stacks blinds with any 2. Late in satellites, I play situations as much as cards.
Oh well, I feel better most people say raise or push. In most cases, the push will work fine. You need to take some risks, and I don't mean to seem result-oriented.
I think people react A2s in SB, automatically open raise, but it is not so automatic in a supersatellite.
