Ive been satellitin into MINIS left n right, probly seating into 20-25%(give or take). The problem Im havin with this is seein my BR go down. I know I can withdraw from em if it gets too bad. Im still not playin outside of it, but does any1 have the same problem lookin at ur BR start to dwindle? Any suggestions how to get out of that mindset? Any advice at all on that type of situation would be helpful. I think one thing may be to start playin more of my $3 90-man KOs that i like n maybe some cash games while Im satelliting.
THANX IN ADVANCE
COUGH COUGH

I will never try not to attach myself to a certain outcome. If I do I will see my bankroll go down as well. Therefore, I will pay much more attention to the direction I am heading; getting into a mini ftop would be nice, but it may not be correct for my bankroll. Afterall, if it's right for my bankroll then I just buy into it and not worry about any satellites.
So, here's what I do. I will try for a satellite which falls within my bankroll criteria and do my best to win. If I lose, i will not allow myself another opportunity unless I have made up the lost amount via SnG's or ring games. In this way I keep mysel honest and won't go crazy trying to qualify. Many times even if I make it into a big tournament I will unregister, and buy into a smaller tournament. Remember, your two most important goals to achieve is to win and don't go broke doing it.
As long as you are still at (or above) the bankroll you started with when you began doing the satellites, technically you're bankroll isn't down. If you started with $230 in cash and currently have $200 in cash and $90T then you are ahead.......it's no different than if you preregistered for those events with cash--the cash tied up would still be considered part of your bankroll as long as you can unregister from the event.
If you haven't already done it, sign up for the "FTOPS Challenge" Every satellite you win gives you points toward special freerolls. And these:
