IMHO any satellite where you are WORSE than a 1-in-10 chance of winning Da Prize = a waste of time (or a gamble, at least... and I thought poker players are skillful investors, not gamblers

)
I've notice starting at the $14+X buyin level there are some supersatellites that pay 1-in-5 (e.g. 50+5 T$ paid if you place in top 20%) so if you wanna practice playing the donkuments that's maybe somewhere to try...
