What Poker Satellite Strategy covers
Satellites, where many players win identical seats rather than a scaling prize, demand a completely different approach. O'Kearney and Carter explain why survival and seat-equity, not chip accumulation, should drive your play near the bubble.
Key ideas you'll take away
- Why satellites flip normal strategy on its head
- Extreme ICM and seat-equity thinking
- Bubble play when everyone wins the same prize
Who it's for
Tournament players who use satellites to reach big events.
