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.

Our verdict
