S is for Sunday satellites!

I love Sundays when I can get to just play poker. And Sunday poker is all about the Pokerstars Sunday Million. For me though it is a chance to build my tourney bankroll via REBUY satellites. For about 3 hours PS has $8 and $10 rebuy satellites going every 20 minutes. I play in all of the cash satellites. So usually i end up playing 8 or so of them. These are my favorites tournaments to play in. Unfortunately the past couple of Sundays that I have been able to play in them I have not played well and ended up breaking even or down about $100. In order to break even I need to win about 1.5 times. So winning one seat is not good enough. Two seats gives me about +100 and 3 seats about +300 or so. These tourneys are not really that difficult in theory. There is a pile of dead money in rebuy tourneys. But usually you have to rebuy at least once if not 3 times and then add on. I always rebuy right away and any time I am able to. Plus of course the add on. So it can get expensive. But its worth it. Some of these tourneys give away 100+ seats and after the break there might be only 5-6x the number of players to seats given away. Usually because I rebuy I have a decent chip stack. Many dont so those people are still dead money. So I am usually at worst a mid size stack after the break and Im usually about 2or3 to 1 against winning a seat. So for an average of $40 to win $215 I am getting great odds on my money.
But can I win a race on the bubble when I need it lately. NOOOOO. It has been ugly. Running into AA or KK or a big stack hitting a miracle to knock me out. It has been very frustrating. I have bubbled out of more tourneys than I have won lately. Early on today was no different as I allowed two $20000 chip stacks to evaporate. But not by bleeding as had been happening. Nope, I was good and aggressive today. But it was not until my last two sats that I was able to pull out a positive day. There were too many hands to remember, but in the end I won 3 but probably should have had 4 or 5 wins. It was a +300 run but should have been more. oh well. Same old. That's my take on ...... Any Given Sunday......
