FPP Satellite - AA hand

Top 9 pay - 19 remaining - Avg. is 8800

I'm not sure exactly how satellite strategy affects this hand. Villain has made similar raises more than his fair share.

Should I just go all-in preflop?

new question. it's down to 18. I am chip leader with T18,779.

112 entrants x T1,500 = T168,000 / 9 = T18,666 avg. chip stack for Top 9

Obviously some will be more, and some will be alot less. should I just sit out?

Zeus himself woulda been hard pressed holding me back from betting at SOME point with the Aces, but that's just me [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

As for sitting out, I think I'd rather start putting pressure on and collecting chips from those afraid to bubble vice sitting out and hoping to seat. Depending on the blinds, I think you still have some poker to play.

since you are high stacked i would definatley start putting the pressure on those with scared money and AA is a perfect hand to do it with
