Softest Stars satellites?

This may be better in the Zoo, so forgive me in advanced if I've posted in the wrong forum...

I'm looking to build a T$/W$ bankroll for the WCOOP; what are some of the softest satellites on Stars? Since you can use T$ for any event, they don't necessarily have to be WCOOP sats. Just wondering what some of you thought.

I have done well in both the 3.00 rebuy and the 11.00 Turbo rebuys. The 3.00 takes considerably longer to play but the turbo is usually done in about an hour and a half. The end gets a bit interesting because there are sooo.... many short stacks and the blinds are huge. A single hand can make or brake you. Stalling becomes an issue when there are about 10-20 from the seats. You will see very few hands each level. Makes it tough when you are sitting on the button with 20k and 2k/4k blinds and by the time it gets to you again it may be 6k/12k or more.

$3 and $11 turbo rebuys to the $215 Sunday tourney.

If you understand basic satellite strategy this is a very good way to build a bankroll.

Thanks guys - sounds like there's some consensus.

definitely the 11+R turbos.
They have the advantage of only taking an hour and a half. I'm not sure I've got the optimal play down, but I'm doing ok anyway.

I'm about to find out. Playing in the 400 rebuy turbo tonight. I've only played the 500 MTT 1 other timea and busted early.

I have a buddy that swears by the 1500 sngs.

in my experience, sng satellites are a lot easier than regular sngs at a similiar level

i haven't played enough to be really statistically significant but over the past year or so i've won over 1/3 of the $27 sats to the 215 ive played. but again that is only over roughly 35 games. im 2 for 3 in single tables to wcoop #1 so far.

i think with decent table selection a very good player can win close to 25% in either the 27+2 or 65+5 in the long run.

im looking forward to single tables to the main event.
