That Dream Can Come True With The Various Types Of Satellite Tournaments In Poker

By Rich Vial

Have you ever wanted to play in a really big poker tournament, but you don't have that kind of funds to take a play with, even if you might come up with enough to buy into the game? The numerous kinds of satellite tournaments in poker could be your dream come true and the world could find new talent while you are doing it. Satellite tournaments are a multi tiered system that allows you to win your way to the bigger tournament.

The initial level takes a $2.00 bet and has 100 players, so if you win that, you get a token for the total of your winnings to be used to enter a higher level of the competition. This way, you can work yourself all the way up to many of the most popular tournaments, such as the Asia-Pacific Poker Tour, the World Series of Poker, or the Aussie Millions. Of course, if you lose your out unless you have the cash to buy in, which is allowed at certain levels.

You need to get and study the software to see which is right, not only for you, but also for your computer, as there are both memory and speed requirements. The terms and conditions of the casino you are playing through will be listed on their website, but you need to veiw the rules of where the final game is played, such as Melbourne, Australia if you are talented and lucky enough to make it that far in the Aussie Millons.

The tournaments in the list above all use one form or another of Texas Hold Em and many of them start with one at the lower tiers, and then change to others as you progress. This appears to be a better measure of the players ability rather than the luck of the draw. You can see your hand and bet, in fact, you have four chances to bet. Each player gets two cards face down and they can bet, check or fold at that time, then three cards are dealt face up in front of the dealer, and again the player can bet, the fourth card, placed in front of the dealer, called the turn, gives another chance to bet. The fifth card to the dealer is called the river and is your final chance to bet.

This may be your dream come true and you might do it while saving your pennies for the one next year or passing up a cup of espresso this year. Good luck and study up on poker playing skills as well as your computer skills.
