Professionals in Satellites
WYoung83:
In "Poker tournmament formula 2" by Arnold synder, there is actually a chapter devoted to playing live sats into the WSOP main event. He tells you what to play and how to track results to make them profitable. I belive there are satellite specialists in vegas who make really big money by cashing in their seats that they will win, because they know how to exploite the games and take advantadge of the Ammutures with a dream.
Evan Harrington, in one of his books, says it is not uncommon for some big pros who cant get sponsored, to try and get in on the cheap.
And Scotty Nyguen actually sated into his main event, and took down the whole thing back in 1998. He was a pro player at the time, who was close to going broke, so matasow Staked him into the satellite for 50% buyin, and gained 300k out of his Million dollar win.

Doesn"t anyone agree with me? Someone?
As I seem to be in a minority of myself, could someone explain what I am missing here? I can see the point about lesser so-called professionals, but someone like Channing is loaded. As I see it, you are the guys whose seat he is trying to take, but you are all defending him, even to your own detriment. Several people say they disagree with my post, without explaining why. I don"t understand. What am I missing?

Wld like to agree with you Trav but finding it hard to think of a way to! It would inexcusable if he helped someone else qualify or if he didn"t pay a full buyin
But he paid his % of the prize pool and entitled to have a crack at it rly.
Basically the whole principle of poker is to exploit the weak. If your stronger why should you not exploit the weak? Even if he could easily afford it, kudos to him for trying rly, shows the mentality ppl need to get to the top.
Subject kind of has similarities to http://www.apat.com/forum/index.php?topic=4670.0. At the time I just found it funny that on pocket fives all the ppl that were slating this guy for supposedly taking extra 10K were the same ppl who play 50NL & 100NL and would snap steal a buyin 10 times from a fish which some could say is also unethical ?

I agree it"s irritating, but so is losing a 60/40 and that happens all the time too.

Not the avillan I know. Have you ever played satellites against him? I have many many times and I love to see him on my table. It"s a race to see if I can get his chips before someone else does cos he always busts out early. I"m sure it would be cheaper for him to just buy in direct.

Avillan was playing the Inside Poker Freeroll to the Blackpool GUKPT ME on BSQ last night...... he busted out in the first 6 hands!
