Hello
I have a question about the satellites.
Is it worth it to play only in satellites and devote your bankroll only to satellites and look for opportunities in larger tournaments if you can not get them?

I personally don't like satellites, unless it's a good deal, such as low buy-in for a big reward. Ultimately it's up to you and how badly you'd like to play in the bigger tournament, but make sure the entry to the satellite isn't too much of your bankroll.

I don't like to play them with my hard earned money but if I can pick up so money playing poker then I'll take my chances with them. I'm talking about wining a ticket to something like the wsop main event.

Satellites are a great opportunity to play in expensive tournament.

There are many examples when satellites are selected for expensive tournaments, but only a few show good results in targeted tournaments. I watched my friend play step satellites and thus tried to win something. Nothing good came of it, very rarely will be able to show a good game and there and there. Personally, I play satellites just for the series,because my bankroll does not allow you to play by buying the full entrance or use staking, but not on the satellites. And even in this case, I'm trying to win as many entries as possible to have a better chance of winning the target event.

I prefer satellites for more serious tournaments and series. It seems to me that more responsible people play in the satellites, who also want to enter the number of participants in a good tournament with a prize fund with minimal costs.
Remember how the world changed when Chris Moneymaker showed by his example that everything is possible even from trifles)

I play a lot of tournaments that I would never have paid without the satellites. So I think it's worth it even if I do not win them all.:)

satellites is essential if your bankroll is close to zero and the event in which you want to play you waited a long time and couldn't miss that I often play them and often I go to the main event through them.

I don't often play satellites, I would rather buy in to the actual tournament, than having to compete for a tenth of the buy in, to get in. My opinion.

I think so, it's worth devoting a portion of your bankroll to satellite tournaments. They are a good option to pay little in tournaments whose entry does not fit into your bankroll. You always have that desire to go a little further than you can, and the satellites are a great opportunity.
But I would not advise you to devote all your bankroll to that, but a part of it.[emoji106]

My opinion is that for beginners it’s just a waste of money.
the field in the satellite is weaker and if there is an opportunity to somehow wash the win in the satellite without playing in the main tournament - then they are of course profitable. but if not, then I would not even go there.

if reg middle limits + and there is an opportunity to play on bankroll in principle and by skill the main tournament, then satellites can be tried as a reduction in the long-term costs of a large buy-in. But on the other hand, on the other hand, we lose much more time + in the satellites a slightly different strategy.

I do not like to participate in satellites, because there is a lot of competition. I think that it is necessary for experienced players to play satellites, because further play in a largers tournaments will be difficult.

I think they are great and useful but should not be done all the time. If you are looking to play a bigger event that your bankroll does not cover and take a shot that's fine. If your trying to step your way into a major event its probably just a wast of time and money.

I do not like playing satellites too much. It takes me too much time and especially energy. I prefer to pay my buy-in when I can afford it and reach a goal that is more to my carry.

I love playing satellites to enter larger tournaments!
Though i should note when i grind satelites i do it only for tickets, and not for the actual entry to specific tournaments, basicly because when i want to play the real tournaments i want full focus so i put a specific day to spend all my tickets, the playstyle is so diffrent once you get into the real deal so if i play bouth types at the same time, its harder for me to focus on the right thing ^^

If you do not have money, but there is a chance and a lot of satellites, then why do not you scold your bankroll out of them):lollypop::lollypop::lollypop:

Satellites - the best opportunity to climb to the top with minimal cost and loss. everyone has a chance and an opportunity.
I prefer Sunday Storm satellites with 0.33 cents. Already won a few tickets in denominations of $ 11

I suppose it all comes down to how much free time you have and what kind of profit a particular satellite brings. I saw an example of a person who was hit the tournament for to high rollers via satellite and hit the prize zone.. But for this you need a lot of free time and good satellite which can be found not often.

Without a doubt, satellites are a very good option to get a place in a good and prospective tournament. Moreover, I have been playing poker for 10 years, and 30-40% of all the tournaments I play, these are satellites. They are worth it.

Hi, I think the idea is not to leave all your bankroll in satellites, I think you can select to play some satellites that are for important tournaments, if your bankroll allows it, but not be an exclusive player of satellites I think the money is in play the MTT, SNG or cash Table that your bankroll allows
