I have looked around and made an account on poker stars and I have a few questions. What exactly is a sit and go tourney? What are satellites and how do they work? Is any tourney that has more than one table a mtt? What does it mean when it says hold em mixed?

a sit and go tourney is a tournament that begins when all of its places has been filled, rather than at a specific time. sit and go(SNG) tourneys are generally one table affairs(usually 9 or 10 players paying out to the top three).
A satellite is a tourney where the winners/people who cash get entered into another bigger tournament. Say there's a $2 satellite tournament, and the winners get entry into a $10 tournament. For every five $2 entries there will be one winner to the next tournament.
mtt=multi-table tournament, as opposed to a single table tournament, so yes, any tourney over one table is a mtt.
hold em mixed? er, pass, don't remember that expression.


btw, Ive just worked a nightshift, so my brain isnt working brilliantly right now, feel free, anyone to correct me on the above...........

On Stars a SNG is a tournament (single or multi-table) that starts when it's filled. They have everything from single table to 20 table SNGs. (If you decide to post hand histories you need to specify what kind of SNG you played.)

Mixed hold em is a new thing there...it's a mix of NL and limit hold em.

MTTs on Stars are scheduled tournaments, usually with a 10,000 player cap unless otherwise specified.
