Hi Jack, GL with the blog. I look forward to enjoying this one as much as the others. Just a wee comment on hands above. Very similar starting hands but in my opinion the situations are very different due to the blinds and stacks.
The first one with 7/7 I believe (even without hindsight) you make the right lay down. I base this on the fact that you haven"t invested too much and been significantly re-raised by someone with a bigger stack who can potentially bust you with too many hands that are a/already dominating you or b/a coin flip
The second hand with 8/8 I"m calling. My reasoning here is that you"ve already raised the pot 25% of the guys stack and when he shoves there"s now 29k in the middle (please correct me if I"m wrong on that) and just under 15k for you to call and without risk of busting. In addition his range, with 10BB"s left and almost 9.2k to steal in the middle, could be pretty wide and i believe you"re probably looking at a coin flip. You"re getting 2/1 odds and If he has a bigger pair then you can still get lucky to bust him, but essentially I think the coin flip is more of a possibility.

Survival is more important than accumulation late in a satellite tournament.The payout is the same for however many players earn seats at the end of the satellite. So SAT strategy means we are no longer playing with a win in mind, but now its the goal of being one of several or whatever amount of seats that are awarded, our goal is to make the payout structure. SAT theory states because of pay structure it means we won"t make many of the moves we might make late in a regular tourney, because they are too risky for us to be able to make them profitably. You simply can"t play them like a normal tournament, have a look through the strat forum, someone posted a good article on satellite strategy awhile back..
edit - i better add that the approach changes according to how big of a buy in the SAT is or if its a winner takes all, how many seats [low buy in, hardly any seats] etc etc,,,,

In a normal tourney, I"m probably stacking off in both hands. (I"m not the greatest folder though ???)
In a satty, raise folding is fine for both hands, maybe fold pre in hand 2 (you are in EP and have a top 3 stack and are too easy a target for the shorter stacks to 3 bet you off marginal hands)
wd on binking a seat for the deepstack
AAroddersAA:
Nice job on binking the seat at DTD. Hope you get a good result to start 2011 in style.
technolog:
Thanks for the input on the hands fellas.
I think I still fold the 77 in a regular tourney but probs ship with the 88.
