3x Turbo Satellite Challenge

[slapdash]

I've had a few successes recently playing "3x Turbo" satellites on Stars. Typically, there's a 60 minute late registration period (some only have 45 minutes), you start with 3000 chips, there's a 90 minute rebuy period, and at the end of the rebuy period you can add-on 30,000 chips for the same cost as a rebuy. This coming weekend, starting Friday evening, I plan to have an intensive go at a load of these, to see how much profit (or how little loss) I can make. My buy-in strategy will be: * Only play the ones with 60 minute late reg. * Buy in just before the end of the late reg period. * Only rebuy when I lose all my chips. * Always stay in for the add-on, however many rebuys it takes (my record is 15 rebuys plus the add-on :$). * Unregister from any tournament I qualify for and take the tournament dollars (so I won't play any satellites that might finish too late to unreg). * Play at most two tables at a time (after the end of the rebuy period, I'll be permanently short-stacked and won't be able to concentrate on more tables). * Any buy-in from about $1-$5 (or equivalent in euros or pounds). I'll post occasional updates here, with fuller stats after I've finished. Wish me luck. :hope

Re: 3x Turbo Satellite Challenge I have more other stuff to deal with this weekend than I thought, so I think I'll stretch this over the next two weekends, maybe with a few midweek as well. I'll post updates here. For each tourney I'll post buy-in, and update with total number of rebuys (excluding original buy-in and add-on) and total outlay at the end of the rebuy period, and any prize won at the end of the tournament. There'll be a mixture of £,$,€, and I'll do currency conversions later on. First one, late reg ends in about 15 minutes: FRIDAY £1.00 + 0.10, 7 rebuys, outlay £9.10, lost $1.50 + 0.15, 11 rebuys, outlay $19.65, lost SATURDAY $1.50 + 0.15, 8 rebuys, outlay $15.15, lost $1.50 + 0.15, 5 rebuys, outlay $10.65, lost $1.50 + 0.15, 7 rebuys, outlay $13.65, lost $1.50 + 0.15, 4 rebuys, outlay $9.15, lost £1.00 + 0.10, 12 rebuys, outlay £14.10, lost $5.00 + 0.50, 7 rebuys, outlay $45.50, lost $1.50 + 0.15, 12 rebuys, outlay $21.15, lost SUNDAY $1.50 + 0.15, 5 rebuys, outlay $10.65, lost €4.04 + 0.40, 8 rebuys, outlay €40.80, lost $1.50 + 0.15, 6 rebuys, outlay $12.15, lost $1.50 + 0.15, 11 rebuys, outlay $19.65, lost £2.50 + 0.25, 5 rebuys, outlay £17.75, lost €4.04 + 0.40, 6 rebuys, outlay €32.72, lost MONDAY $1.50 + 0.15, 8 rebuys, outlay $16.65, lost £1.00 + 0.10, 10 rebuys, outlay £12.10, lost €2.02 + 0.20, 10 rebuys, outlay €24.44, lost €4.04 + 0.40, 9 rebuys, outlay €40.80, lost $3.00 + 0.30. 8 rebuys, outlay $30.30, lost $1.50 + 0.15, 0 rebuys, outlay $3.15, WON $215 :cow WEDNESDAY $1.50 + 0.15, 6 rebuys, outlay $12.15, lost THURSDAY £1.00 + 0.10, 10 rebuys, outlay £12.10, lost $1.50 + 0.15, 6 rebuys, outlay $12.15, lost FRIDAY $1.50 + 0.15, 3 rebuys, outlay $7.65, lost £1.00 + 0.10, 4 rebuys, outlay £6.10, WON £55 :cow SATURDAY $1.50 + 0.15, 8 rebuys, outlay $15.15, lost £1.00 + 0.10, 9 rebuys, outlay £11.10, lost €4.04 + 0.40, 3 rebuys, outlay €20.60, lost $1.50 + 0.15, 10 rebuys, outlay $18.15, lost SUNDAY €4.04 + 0.40, 1 rebuy, outlay €12.54, WON €530 :cow $1.50 + 0.15, 8 rebuys, outlay $15.15, lost $1.50 + 0.15, 11 rebuys, outlay $19.65, lost £1.50 + 0.15, 9 rebuys, outlay £16.65, lost $1.50 + 0.15, 5 rebuys, outlay $10.65, lost

Re: 3x Turbo Satellite Challenge Missed registration for the second one I meant to play. :eyes And now there's not another bus coming for 45 minutes. I'll edit post #3 with details of all future games as I play them.

Re: 3x Turbo Satellite Challenge The first nine games have not gone brilliantly, ... true. On the bright side, one cash in a $1.50 + 0.15 sat to the Sunday Million will still put me in profit. Starting again shortly.

Re: 3x Turbo Satellite Challenge Well, this is going well .... The ones starting soon are all sats for tournaments that are starting soon (and so I couldn't unreg if I did qualify). So I'll take a break now. I'll have another look later, but this might be all until next week.

Re: 3x Turbo Satellite Challenge Back to the grind ...

Re: 3x Turbo Satellite Challenge Having eventually ended my 20 tournament losing run, I'll kick off my next 20 tournament losing run with a couple of games tonight. Edit: Pah! Just missed registering for the second one.

Re: 3x Turbo Satellite Challenge To date: Outlay = $259.40 + £71.25 + €142.80 = $559.18. Return = $215 + £55 = $303.13. I'll play some more this weekend, starting this afternoon, and try to get in profit.

Re: 3x Turbo Satellite Challenge OK, I'll leave it there. Played 35, cashed 3 times. Outlay $338.15 + £99 + €175.92 = $725.45. Return $215 + £55 + €530 = $992.02. Profit $266.57 (ROI + 36.75%). Nice to get back in profit, though I guess whether I made a profit or loss was always likely to come down to whether I cashed for €530 in one of the €4.04 + 0.40 tournaments. Not exactly a statistically significant sample.
