If they all have 8k for instance, then it would be silly for them to go to war with each other and risk busting, but if you have 2k then of course they are going to constantly put maximum pressure on you because satellites are all about survival so you are going to be reluctant to call a shove therefore it's easy risk free chips for them.
everyone on the table had around 7k and blinds were going up at this point. one other player had 20 odd thousand. there was 5 of us including myself. I happened to be on the big stacks right it always went fold fold fold fold blah blah you know how it goes and then a shove on me. I do alright in tourneys, I don't cash in them all but maybe around half I play in and I have never left a game feeling cheated as much as I did last night. I was on a table where the other four were clearly pals and knew what they was doing. This isn't poker in my book it is definitely cheating or even bingo at the worst.
Im sorry mate but I know the truth can be harsh sometimes, I don't want to seem like a moaner or someone that cant take been beat because I can. I did feel cheated. Look at it from my perspective. Im the big blind, (at which point you was the small) it would go call, then raise, you would fold forcing my move which would obviously have been all in or fold at that stage. the player on my left would call to fold as he was the major stack of the table and clearly wasn't going to bust. All hands after got folded back round until it was my big blind where the same method of conning me out of my chips began this happened for the last four or five hands we played. I went from 7th to bubble boy by this method. If it was fair and proper play someone would have bubbled before me. Maybe it wasn't as much you cos you was to my right and the small blind when I was the big, I know you do well in most tourneys and that doesn't happen by being a cheat clearly your a decent player but last night I went to bed with a very sour taste in my mouth
My advice to you as a player who claims to cash in 50% of MTT's would be to play another one, judging by percentages you should win the next one
Not only are you completely wrong about the tactics used but you are even wrong about the money also.
The £61 wasnt removed there was 9 seats with £61 for 10th with around 1 min of late reg left, someone then regged which made it a straight 10 seats.
This just makes no sense at all so i am guessing you are quite new to poker and dont really understand that sattalites play completely different to other forms of poker and you do things on the bubble of sats that you would never do normally.
If you would like to explain yourself a bit better that makes some sort of sense then I would like to hear how you think I or others cheated you.
This is why you didnt go through not because you were cheated.
Whilst I sympathise, awful being bubble boy at times, I would strongly advise against calling people cheats, doesn't go down well at all...
Best of luck

Lets look at the bolded bit. The thing is you shouldn't call light as its for your tournament life. Our opponent can make a profitable shove with any 2 cards as our calling range is light and they can of course have a hand. This can mean its very frustrating if we are getting bashed up by a bigger stack but all they are doing is playing their stack correctly. In a satellite when we have a big sat and effectively a seat locked we can use our stack to put opponents to the ultimate test.
The same people win in sats/MTTS because they study hard and understand strategy.
