    74 players left, 64 win a Sunday Millions seat. I'm around 20-25 in chips.

    pokerstars Game #9198868026: Tournament #46154884, $36+$3 Hold'em No Limit - Level IX (300/600) - 2007/04/01 - 13:49:25 (ET)
    Table '46154884 21' 9-max Seat #8 is the button
    Seat 1: TagTeamLA (6433 in chips)
    Seat 2: Toelboell (5182 in chips)
    Seat 3: riverdonked (9872 in chips)
    Seat 5: Lucifer_Zeus (5640 in chips)
    Seat 6: mikzik (7374 in chips)
    Seat 7: chuckhawk1 (15911 in chips)

    chuckhawk1: doesn't show hand

    I'm pretty sure i can fold my way to the seat, so i didn't see a reason to get involved. If i call and fold on the flop i'd be an average stack, and much more at risk. If i reraise and don't win, i'll be in bad shape. What do you think?

    Yes it's a correct fold.

    There are 74 left...64 get seats...you are #30 (worst case scenario as u painted)...fold to the easy seat sir.

    Fold everything including AA in that position. No benefit in calling any hand this late in a satellite.

    Thanks folks. I thought it was the right play, but i'm new to satellite play.
