Is it worth to play satellites?

[freerollhound]

WSOP satellites

One crypto site has Main event satellites from free to buy in. USA cant buy in but they can play the free, that what is what I play. Not bad. no limit coin poker . Fox also has something,

i get so tilted to play sattelites to have a goal to quilify for some mtt and not manage it...when you can not beat 10 people how you are gonna beat 10000 is the annoying thougth in my head

Satellites have such great value, it is very worth it to play satellites. You can win a satellite and play a huge event for 1/10th the buyin if you win a satiee

 

[skeptix]

If you're recreational, satellites are great. If you have a poker bankroll I don't like them so much. If you can't buy-in directly under your bankroll management guidelines, you shouldn't be playing the tournament at all. Play within your bankroll and build up to where you can play these events.

 

[SrWesleiNF]

As a way to control my bankroll I always participate in satellites not to leave my bain, for me and as a form of merit, because if I do not win the satellite I do not participate in the tournament that is beyond my bain

I often play sattelites but rarely win a ticket, if you have a lot of time then play it

A lot of my achievenents pass through satellites. My answer is yes.

As I pay no deposit to the poker sites playing 'from zero to hero' I do play a lot of various satellites and some of them are quite nice when you pay no money, or a small entry fee. But from economic point of view the satellites are not very profitable.
Each satellite takes some 3 hours of your time and you are not winning each of them, then you may calculate you need some 10 hours plus entry fee and perchaps rebuy money to win a ticket ( or a similar award). Then in case of for example Venom, you win a ticket to play for another ticket that gives you the right to play for another one...
So definitely there are some satellites worth playing but not all of them.

nolimitcoin poker has satellites for the Main event going 7/24

 

[narc]

It is certainly worth playing satellites, most of the time I can classify for good tournaments paying very little.

 

[cranberry]

I do not like to participate in satellites. But satellites are a great test for poker skills. In satellites, you can test yourself and save money on tournament fees.

 

[BobbyMorton]

I play them all the time even if I can afford the target tournament.

 

[marcumx]

yes very much worth it if you're confident enough to win a ticket into a high buy in tourney i always do the freeroll satts

 

[foran]

It is always cheaper to classify by satellites, you have to think is the time you spend earning the satellites if the savings is greater than what you produce at that time.

 

[fastfash25]

I cant stand satellites. Waste of money I always just buy right in to the big tourney

 

[niphon56]

It depend on your time & money. :ahhhhh:


Enough time & short of money, go to play satellites.

Enough money & short of time, go to play main events.

 

[blanktheman]

in my experience rather buy the ticket into the main tournament if you have the money. If you have limited bankroll then try the sats. In the past i've wasted more money in the sats than i would've just buying the ticket to the event. When you've lost 10 sats in a row you will see what i mean.

 

[adriantempo]

If you know you will do good in the main tournament, it means you are good enough for a satellite.

If not, you should play easier tournaments, you should always play with a good chance to win.

 

[MadDeVille]

it depends on me I prefer to pay some events directly instead of going through the sattelites because I also take into account the time and energy that I will have to provide to achieve my goals.

Same for me. Happend a lot, to spend more money on sattelites then buy in for original tournament.

 

[kostas1234]

Yes with satellites you can earn bigger prices but you need to good at tournaments, i earned at the past 250$ tickets to 10million tournament , it woth much with 1$

Picture

I know this is crazy, but I cant find out how to get my picture to show straight like yours. It always show sideways or worse, but never vertical as it should be, how did you do it?

Definitely! There is such good value! and even playing smaller tournaments and placing in the top 3, thinking of that as a satellite as well. If you're looking for more inexpensive ways to get into main events, it is totally worth it!

 

[bronson]

don't you find that micro buy in satellites take a long time to fend off donks who have no problem calling with 9 3 off and take you out of the tournament

 

[63burner]

Satellite is worth it...

For entry to tourneys satellites are a good way to go. Upside: not much risk, BR-wise, for potentially large payoff. Downside, the huge numbers of players you have to go through to get ITM. If you are a patient person, or a whatever-it-takes grinder, thumbs up to satellites.

 

[Ltech]

It depends on your bank roll

Hello since you are talking about tournaments ...some satellites are great, so if you have to pay for it your bankroll must be ten times bigger.

Poker is awesome...To play wisely

 

[mrbond8844]

of course, i regularly play in bigger tourneys by entering their satellites.
