Where I play live, one of the promotions is a (now) weekly tournament for free which is played down to a certain number and everyone gets paid same at that pt. They call it survivor tournaments, but basically same concept as a satellite, really no reason to push to win, you just want to "survive". I was lucky enough to cash in last month's (it was monthly till this month) but would like to here from members who have had success playing sat. tournies and here some basic strategy for these types. Do you try to see a lot of flops cheap early, how low do you let you stack get before fold or shove, etc. I know when I cashed there were at least 4 players that had only a blind left. Hopefully we can get thread going with some strategy talk. I'm playing tomorrow afternoon in this weeks tourney, its my first as I didn't play much earlier in month, I hear there are less than 100 entries and 20 get paid ($500). Structure isn't bad but I will be a little short stacked as you get 7500 starting chips and can earn 5k extra by playing before tourney, which I cannot, but 20 min levels so i have time. Hope to get some tips before game.
