Satellite Play Multi-Seat Guarantees

[Windbreaker]

When playing a satellite tourney where the top 10% all pay out equally for a seat into the next stage, what differences are there from a normal tourney?

When do you make the adjustment from a normal MTT to a satellite that awards seat to say only the top 10?

Things to ponder:

A) Do you set a specific goal or target to reach in order for you to be able to fold non-stop during the bubble period?

B) If you're short stacked nearing the bubble, is there a player you want to target? Eg. Do you concentrate on attacking a middle stack that can get crippled if they call and lose to you? Or do you still just play your cards?

C) How does the pay out structure affect your blind stealing strategy - especially when it's bubble time?

D) Where do you draw the line between playing your chip stack vs playing your hand?

E) If you're 5th in chips with 15 to go, how do you adjust your play for these situations?
