On the other hand, deep pockets put a lot of chips on the table which can work in your favor when you have the best hand. My first goal in a Super is to at least double through before the end of the rebuy period. This can very easily mean playing only one premium hand during the first hour. After the rebuy period is over the players with the deep pockets along with everyone else tend to settle down and play real tournament poker, as no more rebuys are available. To win a Super the tough part is knowing what to do and when to do it.
Timing is everything.
I have always said you have to get lucky a minimum of five times to win a tournament and that brings me to the good news. Winning a seat in a Super Satellite isn't particularly newsworthy, a lot of players do it. Luck was not the only factor, skill put me in a position to capitalize on those lucky breaks. We were at the final table and we were down to five players. At one point I was the chip leader at the final table after winning a nice pot with an uncalled hand.
