Satellite theories

[cambridgealex]

Totally new form of poker to me, and an ugly one at first sights yesterday, one which seems to reward nittiness and folding. I'd like to play a lot more though so I'm trying to learn more about the strategy.

OK so last night I was 4 handed with 3 packages to LAPT Colombia.

Blinds 300/600, stacks are as follows.

Me 40k
Big stack 100k
Med stack 35k
Med stack 30k

What is the ideal strategy for the big stack? Put insane pressure on us? Or fold and wait for us to knock each other out? How does this change if we were say 20bigs deep?

And my ideal strategy? If other players are really nitty do we attack and if they're playing back at us do we relax?

What if I reach 50k and someone goes down to 20k?

How the hell has it got to the bubble this deep?

You sure you've got the blinds right?

If so then just fold everything because it looks like they'll just knock each other out for you.

The big stack should just go to bed. No need to put any pressure on. Before long there'll be a cooler to knock someone else out or cripple them.

If the big stack appears to be applying pressure then sit back and wait for one of the others to get bored and have a go back.

yeh it was really deep / good structure. dunno whether it was a bit of a freak the way we got so deep, but the structure certainly was decent.

+1 for big stack going to sleep.  No harm in making life hell for anyone who has abused you earlier obv.
