Do you happen to watch a
poker tournament in the TV
and wonder how you can do
the same? Definitely, you
might think that this is
impossible since playing
poker especially on
tournaments are for
professional poker players
alone who have the money to
do so. Well, you're wrong.
If you heard of Chris
Moneymaker, you will know
that it is possible to enter
tournaments with just $40,
which is 250 times smaller
than what the buy-in should
be. Moneymaker entered the
game through satellite
tournaments. In fact,
satellite poker tournaments
are relatively unknown until
Moneymaker won the 2003
World Series of Poker
(WSOP). Actually, Moneymaker
was the very first person
who qualified through an
online poker site and
emerged as the champion.
There are many reasons why
you should play satellite
games, the first of which is
gaining entry to renowned
tournaments like WSOP. This
is more so if you do not
have $10,000 or more. As
such, while satellite poker
tournaments usually take
longer before you may gain
access on real poker
tournaments, this is the
cheaper way. If you don't
know it yet, satellite poker
tournaments are a special
type of tournament since if
you win the games you will
be able to get a seat in big
poker tournaments. The
bottom line is you have to
win the game before you may
be considered to play in big
poker events.
Nonetheless, satellite poker
games also have buy-in where
a player has to shoulder
part of the buy-ins in the
real poker tournament. The
buy-in at satellite poker
games is usually lesser than
that of poker tournaments.
What the satellite poker
tournament operators will do
is to divide the total
buy-in to the total number
of players. Put simply, the
buy-in of WSOP, as already
mentioned is $10,000 but
Moneymaker was able to play
with just $40 which means
that there 250 satellite
poker players who wants to
qualify in playing in WSOP.
Through satellite poker
tournaments, the players
themselves are able to pool
the total buy-in required in
gaining a seat in poker
tournaments.
Further, the idea behind
satellite poker tournaments
is very simple. First,
satellite poker games are a
way of improving the number
of players who will join the
big poker tournaments.
Second, satellite poker
games are a way of learning
how it feels like playing
poker against professional
poker players in the big
events. Evidently, satellite
poker tournaments are a
place where the poker player
can prepare himself/herself
in playing against more
experienced poker players.
Aside from gaining the poker
player an entry to world
tournaments, the player
would be able to gain new
knowledge and skills which
s/he may use in going
against other professional
poker players. In most
cases, the experience that a
poker player was able to
gain in satellite poker
tournaments would be enough
to battle against the pros.
As such, if you are serious
at playing poker and turning
it into a lucrative aspect
of your life then you should
start practicing your poker
skills through playing on
satellite poker tournaments.
