Stars $20.40 WSOP Sat

[lwestatbus]

I decided this year that I would take my limited resources, limited time, and limited talent and see if I could parlay all of the above into a WSOP seat. My resources consisted of about 1,200 Stars FPP and 100 T$. I was not going to risk any real money in this pursuit.

I studied the satellite structures leading to WSOP seats and decided that the path I was going to pursue would be:

1. $20.40 4 player Sat to $80 Sat (1 in 4 advances)
2. $80 Sat to $640 Sat (1 in about 8 advances)
3. $640 Sat to Main Event (1 in about 20 advances)

Also, I decided that I would not move up from a win at any level until I had two wins at that level. I would cash out the buy-in to the next level and keep those in reserve to buy in at the level where I won. If I won at level 1 twice then I would move up, etc. (Kind of confusing, probably, but I understood what I wanted to do.)

The whole plan has floundered on the shoals of the $20.40 hyper-turbo 4-player SnGs. These play like absolute crap shoots and I just can't get by them. Out of nine attempts I've won just once and used that win up tryin to win again to build up my war chest before moving up to the $80 tourny.

This is a 500 starting chip format, 4 players only, hyper turbo, with $25/50 blinds and a $10 ante. If you don't bet/win a pot your M is 4. Players are all in with anything and will call an all in with anything.

My problem is that I keep getting sucked out on. I'll be all in with AQ, get a caller with J3, and he'll suck out a pair of threes. All in with pocket tens, called by A4, and you guessed it. Over and over.

Right now I'm using my limited T$ and FPP balance playing $2 or 210 FPP sats to the Sunday $1/4 mil to turn those into more T$ for more of these $20.40.

I am convinced that I'm just running cold in these things. Is anyone else playing these things?

Anyone claim a WSOP seat yet?

mosty hypers on stars are eazy since people suck in them, but still they have crazy crazy variance

putting your losses down to leaks in your game rather than suckouts is a good start (not meant to be offensive)
