Yes. I've recently been trying my hand at the Venom satellites on BCP, which start with a freeroll. I think they're a great way to save some money on entry fees. :)

No. I don't like the involvement necessary to move on.

I always play satellites if there are any to enter the tournament I want to play in.I think the $7.50 one with 36 players and the first place is entry to the Sunday Million is a good one.

Yes, of course, when I want to play a tournament that the entry is relatively high, it helps me avoid the risk of investing everything out of my pocket, and if I win the tournament or I'm ITM I will have a bigger profit than I would if I put all the money in my pocket

I sometimes try to get entry into the Sunday storm while playing satellites for 0.33 cents.
they give 2 or 3 entries there and I failed several times when the victory was already close

Of course. This is a good opportunity to get a ticket to an expensive tournament.

I do not like to participate in satellites. But a satellite in poker is the best option at the initial stage for people with a minimum bankroll.

I play from time to time, especially when I want to play a particular tournament, if I win on the satellite I avoid paying the full ticket to the tournament and I think it helps me practice for important tournaments

Participation in satellites allows for a few dollars to get in a major tournament with serious players and big prize pools. Win a tournament or even get to the final table impossible for a non-professionalб but there is the opportunity to play with the pros and test your level of play.

Yeah, its is a great way to save money (and play high MTT's) even more so because in this format the players they play more loose

Do you play Satellites ? :D


Not too often but I do try the Venom freerolls. Only made it to Step 3 so far but they are fun.


Satellites play different than a regular tourney so if you can't fold AA preflop in certain situations you may want to avoid them. That being said most people have no clue about ICM so that makes them pretty easy. Just have to run good early on and then sit on your nest.

You should definitely be playing some satellites, they are great to get in a lot cheaper (saving you some money), just be aware that they play differently and you dont play "to win it" (finish in first). GL!
