Thought I would also add that this method is a slow, slow grind -- so best used when you find a really soft satellite.  The problem is, other players know the trick, and will soon spot the softest of the soft, making it more difficult.

Recently, I ran up about 70 T$ with very little risk.  The super  turbo sat to the Mini FTOPS cost just $1.50 + $0.10.  A ticket was worth $5.50, so I figured if I won just 1 in 3, I could make a profit.  Actually I did a bit better than 50% over a sample of some 30-40 satellites.  I am not that good, but these were super soft, bordering on stupid.

With just 300 starting chips and blinds raising every 5 minutes, players were too impatient.  Around 20% of the field would go all in on the first hand.

I on the other hand, sat back waiting to double up once or twice; usually getting my money in good, and then folding my way to victory.  It was clear that once I hit around 750 chips, there was no reason to play any more hands, which saw me folding even pocket aces (to all those players who would NEVER fold pocket aces pre-flop, here is yet another example where you are wrong).

Well, that satellite is gone, and I have found nothing comparable since.  So, your method is really sound, if you can find an easily beatable satellite.
