This covers the start of the satellite until well into the middle. We’ll break this down into 3 stages, early, middle, and late: So with that being said, let’s get into it. We are not trying to win the satellite like we would a regular MTT, we simply need to survive to 10th in this case, and if we do so with even 1 chip, we will receive the same exact reward as the chip leader. The result of this difference is an impact on the importance of survival. Contrast this with a regular pay structure MTT, where there will be a significant difference in the payout received between 1st and 10th, with pay jumps along each finishing position in between. If the satellite is awarding 10 seats to the target event, then the top 10 finishers all receive the same exact prize. The difference between satellites and MTT’s is in the payout structure of the prize pool. Now let’s get into satellite play strategy. If it’s 2 weeks away, this can be difficult. If the target live event is in another country, is your passport current? Will you have time to book travel? If the live event is three months off, there’s plenty of time to arrange these details. That way you’ll know what to expect and there won’t be any surprises. These are all things that are relatively common terms and conditions, which you agree to when you play… so take a few extra minutes and review the T&C’s ahead of time. ![]() Like in the above, is the prize transferable? If you couldn’t make the dates, could you sell the package and transfer it to someone? Is there a “cash option” in lieu claiming the tournament seat? Are there any conditions to playing, like for example, must the winners agree to wear hats or clothes from the poker site while playing at the event? Obligated to do interviews etc. In many cases the prize is non-transferable, meaning if you don’t use it, you lose it. What date is the event? This may sound strange, but I actually know someone who played an online satellite to a live event they couldn’t travel to play.
