Message: [QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 969780, member: 33113"] "I think people are right in what they say about cashing in their prize rather than play the tourny. However, a few things here 1) Why enter a sat if all you intend to do is cash in your prize. 2) Sometimes people don`t want to look at this as a cash prize - they do want to look at it as a chance to win big. 3) It can be exciting to play in a big buyin event - so why not do it???" quote 1. why enter a sat. if you don't intend on playing in the tourney?.. many reasons. I've had a friend who primarily played in sats. where payout structure was approx. 1 in 4 getting paid ($14>$55; $55>$216) for a period of one week, playing a couple/few of them each day. He profitted over $1,000 in that one week alone (and yes,. he did take a shot at some of the $55 buyins, but his initial intentions were to acquire a bankroll in a tourney he felt confident in beating..... regularly). On Fulltilt there are many satellites with a good payout structure, including some token ones as well. If one knows how to play satellites then why not go for throwing a bankroll together in them? How far into the payout structure of a reg. buyin mtt do you have to go before you reach 4x your buy-in..... pretty damn far. In some of the moderate to higher buyin sats. there are also some decent players (I'd personally prefer to play a $14 sat. over a $5 or $10 mtt any day of the week). Big Reason for not playing in the bigger buyin that you may have satellited your way into --- if you're not used to playing in bigger buyins online,.. chances are pretty good that you'll be dead money as there are numerous top quality players in those tournaments. Sure take a shot at it... maybe. Personally, I'd want to win a couple of satellites prior to taking the ticket to the big game. Then again, I prefer to watch my bankroll grow steadily, affording myself to play in mtt's at buy-ins where I not only like the play but also where I feel most confident in doing well in them (right now that's not at the $216&up buyins, but also not at the $1 to $10's either). Up to the individual obviously. My preference would be to take the tourney dollars and my 'advice' for a player who's inexperienced at bigger buyins would be to do the same (take the $216 for example... that's quite a few decent-sized buyins from that, whether they be more satellites at higher buyins or just half decent tourneys,... all would be a hell of alot better than playing in the micros unless that's where one's experience lies) [/QUOTE]
