Starting to play satellites a couple of years ago was probably the biggest mistake of my so-called poker career. I've played enough 10, 25 and 50 euro satties in an attempt to qualify for a 220 euro live event that just the rake I've paid in the satties would have covered a direct buy-in.
Some people run hot and just go win-win-win on their way up the satty pyramid, so can play the target tourney on their first try. I've been breaking even for 2 years. :/
Yeah I don't think they are worth playing.
