Online Poker - Satellite Games
The world of poker playing has exploded into a global phenomenon where everyone is learning to play the game – from young adults to grandmothers. No more is poker the mainstay of the seedy and the underground. Today poker is a lucrative industry with well-organized tournaments, televised events and poker stars who have followings to rival even the largest Hollywood celebrity. There are also far bigger poker tournaments than ever before. Qualifying for these tournaments has become a very competitive affair with people all over the world vying for those few spots. In order to meet the demand of players who want to compete in the big tournaments organizers have devised satellite games and tournaments that are, essentially, feeder games for the bigger events.
Satellite games are generally either a low-buy-in game or a freeroll tournament where the “pot” is actually entry into a larger tournament such as the World Series of Poker. Satellite games have become big business and are hotly contested – especially when the first prize is free entry into a tournament with a costly buy-in. There are satellite poker games planned around the world throughout the year. Some satellite games are land-based while others are held online. For a schedule of the satellite games being held for the major tournaments you can always find them listed at any number of websites by doing a generally search for satellite tournaments.
If you are serious about poker and think you have a good chance at sitting with the big guns at one of the pro-tournaments, then one of the best ways to test your skills and to prepare is to play in a satellite game.
