2 hands from the WSOPC SuperSat

[marchron]

Since my last thread asking about general tips for supersat play sank like a rock, I figure maybe if I put some actual content in it, I might get some replies.

Here's the situation: it's the WSOP Circuit Event at Caesars Indiana. This is a $200+$25 supersatellite, but it has unlimited rebuys for the first three levels (90 minutes) if you're at or below $200, then a single or double add-on at the 90-minute point. (I, foolishly, did not hear of this until I had sat down — are satellites with rebuys and addons normal? I've never played one before.)

Everyone started with 200 chips, except for people who elected to rebuy even before the cards were in the air. Blinds were at 5/10 for 30 minutes, then 10/20 and 15/30 before the break.

Would the "correct" play for these hands change in a supersat versus a longer tournament? What would be the smart play in either instance?

Hand One: Blinds 5/10
Preflop: <font color="green">marchron</font> is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
2 limpers, <font color="green">marchron completes</font>, BB checks.

Flop: (pot t40) 10[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="green">marchron bets t25</font>, <font color="#666666">folded to Button</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t50</font>, <font color="green">marchron . . . </font>

The button was somewhat loose-passive in this hand. Do I just call and induce further action, or do I shut it down now and not let him draw to a better hand? In a normal tourney, I think I raise enough to telegraph that I have trips and take down the pot. But how would I play it here?



Hand Two: Blinds 10/20
Preflop: <font color="green">marchron</font> is MP with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 10[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
<font color="#666666">folded to me</font>, <font color="green">marchron raises to t75</font>, <font color="#666666">folded to BB</font>, BB calls.

Flop: (pot t160) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t125</font>, <font color="green">marchron . . . </font>

BB liked to gamboool it up a little, but he rebought as soon as he sat down; this told me he had some supersat experience and knew what he was doing. There's a lot of hands that either crush me right now (bigger ace, two pair) or have solid chances against me (ace + flush draw), and I'm looking at a near-pot-sized bet. This is probably an easy fold in a normal tournament; a 10 kicker doesn't hold up that well. But here, that bet represented less than half of his chips but more than half of mine. Do I go for this one or wait for a better spot?
