Weekly Satellites: Smart Move or Spew?

[Manjerica1]

Simple question for the MTT grinders: do you block out time each week just for satellites, or do you avoid that madness?

The "For" Argument (The Optimist):

• Printing Money (In Theory): Turning $10 into a $100 ticket is pure EV. If you're a bubble icemaster, it's free prints.
• Roll-Friendly: Lets you play bigger tournaments without murdering your bankroll.
• Skills Pay: Great practice for late-stage ICM pressure.

The "Against" Argument (The Realist):

• Variance Hell: You can run bad for a month and win nothing. It's a brutal, tilting grind.
• Time Sink: Those hours could be spent in actual tournaments, studying, or touching grass.
• "Freeroll" Tilt: Winning a seat can make you play the main event like a donkey.
  
  I do it, but not every day not every grind, yea, a sat of 11$ in a sunday once a while wont kill anyone but maybe you get the glory we're looking for
  
  Do you guys plays some sattelities often?

Good topic. In my opinion, managing AoF sattas rake well helps a lot to avoid playing with pressure and making better decisions during the game.
