$10k Satellite Risky Move

Posted by Assistanc3 On April - 13 - 2009

Sometimes making the risky move doesn’t always look good, but then again that is why it is risky in the first place.  K6 from late position I was trying to make the steal after folding on the button.  Does the button even matter in a satellite?

$10,000 GTD ticket was up for grabs in the $4 BuyIn on Players Cardroom
Rebuy and Addon were available….

I actually bought into this game with 4 minutes to break, late registration into an already depleted field with only a few larger stacks spanned out.  I doubled up on my first hand so my addon option to get more chips wasn’t there.  Saved myself $4.  Hey I don’t mind using coupons either.  A penny not spent now can always be spent later ; )

At break I added on and not long after coming back from break we are final table.
Top 5 get a ticket and I was gonna steal with my T7o from the button but decided that might look to obvious and since I have played maybe 5 hands I could probably get more credit the next hand.

Holding K6o its folded to me and I make the push and called by AQo in SB.

The move pays off as I get my ticket and rush to register for the April 19th $10,000 Tournament.

    Nice work!

    Looks like maybe late registration is a good strategy, that way a lot of the donks are out already and saved you money :)
    Holy no fold %, no folds on the turn or the river, impressive.

    You’re going to be a busy guy next weekend with the marathon and the $10k tournament!
