Satellite bubble pain

I swear, bubbling out of satellites is its own special kind of tilt. Last night I got it in with queens vs tens, all the chips go in preflop, and dude spikes a ten right on the river. Of course, it’s literally the last spot before the seats get handed out, so there I go - no seat, nothing. It’s the kind of thing that makes you wonder if you should even fire bullets at these satellites or just direct buy-in and spare the pain, but the value’s obviously so much better if you win the seat cheap.

I’m usually pretty disciplined, but I’ll admit, this one had me fuming. Not even for the money, just the close-but-not-quite feeling. Makes me want to go take a walk or something before I look at another table. Wonder if anyone else handles these bubbles better or just ends up chasing that run-it-up tilt session after
