Never bothered with satellites of satellites, but thought I'd give it a go as it only cost me 21 gold coins on cake (loyalty coins - worth nothing really). 1 Buy in, one instant rebuy to double up, and one reaload at the break - won a $200 + $15 final satellite to the WSOP. You never know... :-)
.. it was a funny final table. 7 places paid the same seat, so everyone tightened right up when 9 were left, then down to 8 it got uber tight, with one guy sitting out. I was chip leader at the start (84k), let it drop to 62k which i still knew I could sit out the blinds with, then took out the bubble boy with Aces and a high kicker.
Most of my early tournament chips came form a nutter on my left who was going all-in every single hand, trying to get to 10k or so before he slowed down. Every time he lost he rebought. I estimate he rebought 20 or more times. Probably more like 30 as he changed to an other table at one point. I sat on my hands and called him when I had Jacks or better. He made me tournament leader half way through. He overtook and became tournament leader when I met him again with 2x what I had at the time. Then he donked it all off!
