Not played a lot of satellites but came across a situation that had me thinking. Down to 3, 2 seats on offer, me and the other short stack are sitting near even on about 2.5k and the chip leader has 24k. To my surprise the CL rarely got involved leaving me and the other guy to duke it out. I was wondering if this was a common etiquette thing like 2 players checking it down against an all-in (although I realise there are varying opinions on this also).
Did I just run into an easy going player or is this common. Would you have done the same?

I would have thought that was excessively tight. I can see what your saying but with such a massive lead and considering me and the other guy were playing really tight he must have known that neither of us was calling a raise without a damn good hand it just struck me as strange.

Not etiquette, but strategy.
Not necessarily good strategy, though that's subjctive.
Fact is, he has his seat locked up, bar accidents. Why risk an accident?
It's not at all similar to two guys "checking down" an all-in man. I will check - just so long as it suits ME.......!

Sometimes you have to suffer a little bit in your youth to motivate yourself to succeed in later life. Do you think if Bill Gates got laid in high school, do you think there'd be a Microsoft? Of course not.  |

lol...classic. you gn Mr Happybhoy, the Chipleader has no need to get involved..sooner or later one of you two will have to do something and run into something. He would be daft to get involved in it and double either (or if he does it twi even worse both) of you up. He has his seat..how you get yours is your problem  |

I'd play like the CL 100% of the time in that situation. I even play STT's like that when down to final 3 if I have all the chips. You can wait and find a monster and then get it in.

If I was the chipleader with such a lead I would be to busy patting myself on the back and saying well done, job done that I'm not even watching the rest of the game.

 Oh dear. I'm almost too embarrassed to admit that I was the massive chip leader when it went to 3 and managed to get into this situation when I couldn't, despite my best attempts, convince the 2nd place guy that his flopped full house (made with pocket rockets) wasn't good. What really worries me is that if I'm making the same mistakes as Snoops, I might at some point in the future convince myself that pink trainers are a good idea. I'm away to sit in the corner
