unlucky Paul, good effort

[M3boy]

Gone in 18th.

I have 8800 with blinds 800 1600. And I am on the button

SB has 12k back
BB has 18K back

I have made up my mind already that if it is folded to me, I am all in.

They have to have a fairly good hand to call right?? You would think so!!

SB INSTA calls with A 5 o/s

BOOM!!

GL anyone I know left in

I call there, you have 5BB, its 3 spots only.

Thats cos ur a fish James.

8000 call (half your stack) with A 5 to win 11200 - not even 2 to 1 - he is still healthy with 18k. Loose and he is a shortie.

He can use that 8k to RAISE with and pick up the blinds.

Its not 8k though, its 8k+1.6k+0.8k+antes(1.35k)

I don't care about being healthy, 6th pays $0

[M3boy]

James, you always argue with me on any topic.

I dont care what you say, at 18k he is healthy (in fact a double through puts him 2nd!!) - 3rd pays the same as 1st. Limping into 3rd is as good as winning the damn thing!!!

He risked 50% of his chips with that was a 6/4 shot at best on odds of not even 2 to 1. There was no need to risk this imo. Read ANY article of satelites and they will say the same.

He looses that pot , doubles back up and he is not much better of than the 18k.

The 8k for him to call could be put to far far better use.

Personally I loved the call - I needed to double - he didnt!!!

I would appreciate others views on this

you are right if there are lots of seats but there are only 3.

If i am you i hate the call, i would rather take the 4k in blinds+antes.

[ariston]

playing that way will win you the odd seat if you want to win multiple seats you cannot make that call ever. My strategy peice has won sonewhere in the region of 50+ seats just from the people who have contacted me in the last  6 months  and that is the worst call and breaking the cardinal rule on how to win these things. Gl to you if you win the seats but over a period of time that call will lose you far more seats than it will win you.

[M3boy]

The 4k in blinds and Ante's does nothing for me. I would prefer 20k - THAT I can play with.

12k I cant.

Its comman sense!

Take off your "I will argue with M3boy over anything" hat , and you would see it to

Get off the forum you addict!!! lol

[Royal Flush]

I do not profess to be a sat expert, i hardly play them, there are easier ways of winning $10k.

I can't see how its common sense, i can't be swung around to your opinion by "make calls like that and you lose seats overall" there is no substance there.

The average stack with 18 left would have been just under 25k, if i have 18k i want to get some chips together as its much easier to lead from the front in these things. If i find myself in the situation of being able to call 8k to win 12k with a 58-42 edge then i am taking it, unlike you i don't poses the skill to find "a better situation"
