    Default 300 FPP satellitte

    11 spots qualify for the scandinavian EPT qualifier, 15 people left. When he re-raised me, I figured he actually had something, probably top pair,so with my huge draw I was still a favorite, and I had already commited alot of my chips into the pot - if I folded I would have had about 5,000 chips left...in other words I would have been one of the shortest stacks with 600/300 blinds. Even so, would you have played it differently? I guess going all in was stupid, but I saw this guy re-raise a guy then fold when he was re-re-raised back preflop, so I figured "I'm going to get stacked this hand anyways, so I might as well jam the pot and hope he plays scared since we're near the bubble".

    Please note: I had no way of knowing he had trips and was a slight dog, if he had top pair I was actually a favorite with my great drawing hand.

    Hero has 8d 9d (one pair, tens).
    CO has 2c 2s (full house, twos full of tens).
    Outcome: CO wins t17370.


    edit: I just noticed, because there were an odd amount of players I actually won 300 FPP, so everything is squared off. But a 3,000 FPP seat would have been better .

    err.... why didnt you just hit the sitout button and enjoy your seat? playing hands in a satelite when you are this close and not in chip trouble is -EV

    yeah i know you are only at 10BB... but there seems to be plenty of others who have less and you get a whole round left before you need to pay anything

    with 15 players left, and 11 places paying out (all 11 places get the same thing right?) im folding this preflop - u dont have position and ur cards arent all that great.. just ride out the waves man, u can take the hits to ur chip stack, as it is not in any major trouble at the moment.. at this point u can just fold every single hand and still make top 11.. so why risk it?

    however on the other hand.. i do like ur flop play.. ur still drawing to 15 outs to make ur flush or straight.. so ur not that much of an underdog against a set.. probably 45/55 right?
