this might be a copout, i'm not sure.

but if i had satellited into the event, i'm folding here. the potential ROI/$EV gain of just folding in that case is huge, obviously.

however, if i directly bought in, i'm definitely gambooling it up, because if dropping a $10k buyin is not a big deal for me, neither is winning $11k.

I know players use this type of information in making their decisions, but truly, EV is EV, regardless of how much it cost you to get into that position. If you super-satellited in for $5 or plunked down $10K, your result is 0 if you bust now and at least 11K if you survive one more player.

well, i just dont know about this. i mean i understand what you're saying. it's easy to say $EV is $EV. but what i'm suggesting is that that just isn't realistic for someone that supersatellited into the tournament.

what i think is that the potential "life-changing-ness" of $11k to someone that was previously playing, you know, $5 SNGs or something, is huge. he has the potential to return $11k on a $5 investment. to suggest that this is no different than a regular big tourney player picking up $11k on a $10k investment is just being unrealistic, imo.
