Best Main Event Satellites?

What are the best satellites to play? I've heard the Sit-N-Gos that the Rio runs during the series are good... What about the MTTs?

Or even online tourneys? Any good qualifiers running regularly online now?

  1. If you are in NV and have the roll for it the WSOP.com (NV) Saturday $215 qualifier at 1 P.M. with one ME seat guaranteed has been having big overlays.

  2. I played a few $1k mega-satellites at Rio and thought they were great value. Never won a seat, but they were always giving away like 10-20 $10k seats

  3. The rake in the single table SNG's is fairly reasonable (especially compared to the WSOP daily deepstacks).

  4. All of the high buy-in Rio Sit-n-go's with $275 or higher buy-in are great because they payback over 95% of your entry fee. Even the small Rio WSOP Sit-n-go's are great as I think all of them payback at least 90%. Besides free-rolls or special tournaments, these are the best payback %'s of any poker tournaments in the US. The only catch is that they payback largely in $500 entry fee Rio chips that you can use for any WSOP tournament with a $500 or higher buy-in. Ive found, however, that they are pretty easy to sell especially early in the WSOP event calendar.
