Cheers mate these hands that happened is the way poker is , you just know she /he will bet on the river when that card felt on the river and you can mini raise or bet small depending on what he/she does and you can reap some profit but sometime you get checked raised by crazy people, and it is often done by big stack just to blow you off the hands, so you have to know when to push and when to call this raise, good luck !

------------ I am out... lost 1 coin flip, and after that I got realy crapy cards, and whenever I play hand I couldnt hit anything... so I had about 9BB and got 66... guy raise by button I called flop comes out 33Q I raised, he reraised, and I went all in... he got 88 and 8 comes on turn to spice things
------------ I got ticket, folded last hand and left with 35 chips.. not even for ante :S DDD
Congratulations mate for folding your way to the ticket. I think you deserve it, because the AA hand you have lost was very unfortunate. From my point of view it was very clever just to min raise, because the big blind can hardly fold his hand.

Some times when it comes for equal prizes and tickets in all places, it helps if you wait for others to bust. Nothing more to gain if you finish first. You cant even brag for taking such a tournament since the game play is different, with most players getting a big stack and then waiting for the smallest to be eliminated. Good luck with your ticket.
Exactly. There is no upside to playing that hand, since you can fold into the money, without much risk. There is however a big downside, which you almost experienced.
This happened a few times to me, until I realized there is no point playing any hand, in a satellite, once you can fold into the money (unless you have a huge stack, and you can take out a short stack, that can't hurt you). It's just about estimating if your current stack will last or if you'll need to play another hand to be safe.

sattelites are a place to get outhit on the most nasty moments like you did 
but goodluck on your tournament m8
