🛰️ Satellite Tips to Help Win Your Way Into the Main Event
Satellite poker tournaments are a great way to play a larger buy-in event at a lower price so you don’t need to have big bucks to be in contention for a game-changing score. The Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown Festival has plenty of chances for you to win your way in the WPT Championship. See the full Festival Schedule here.
LearnWPT Instructors Andrew "LuckyChewy" Lichtenberger and Katie Stone have a few key tips to help increase your edge.
Keys 🗝️ to Satellite Play
- Everyone gets paid the same prize
- No incentive to build a large stack once you are likely to win a seat
- As the probability of winning a win a seat goes up, your ranges in all spots tighten up
- There are times in a satellite poker tournament when players should never continue against an all-in
- Satellites are the only form of poker where it can be correct to fold pocket Aces preflop
- Pay very close attention to stack sizes and level changes!
- Often in the satellite endgame 10BBs may be a big stack that is guaranteed to win a seat
Use the strategies below to sharpen your focus and who knows, maybe you’ll turn a few bucks into a huge payday.

5️⃣Tips for Deepstack Poker Tournament Play
While On Tour at WPTDeepStacks Championship at Thunder Valley Casino Resort Katie Stone and Tony Dunst took a break from the action to talk about some common mistakes they see players make when playing in deepstacked poker tournaments.
The early stages of a championship poker tournament with super deep structures like you find on the World Poker Tour require a specific strategy shift. It’s not uncommon for the average stack to equal 100 times the current big blind level or more during the first few hours in the tournament and you should focus on some strategic adjustments for these situations.
Anytime you find yourself in a deepstack poker tournament situation remember these 5 Strategies for deepstacked play:
➧ Strategy Tip #1 - Adjust your First-In Ranges
➧ Strategy Tip #2 - Be Cautious with 1-Pair Hands
➧ Strategy Tip #3 - Don’t Call too Loose Preflop
➧ Strategy Tip #4 - Attack Limpers
➧ Strategy Tip #5 - Use Board Texture as Your Guide
