Author: François Montmirel Format: 24 x 17 cm 244 pages Pay 10 times less for your tournament entries! More than half of the participants in major tournaments come from satellites, which are qualification tournaments. This is because, for a significantly lower price, you can earn your spot in a prestigious tournament through your skill, not your money! This is why satellite tournaments are so popular, as they pave the way to the dream. A player who would never have been able to afford their place in the $10,000 Las Vegas Main Event can still participate by winning one or more satellite tournaments and paying a modest sum. Thousands of players participate in this way each year in tournaments that are too expensive for them – and hundreds manage to cash in significant amounts due to their placements at the final table! However, many players participate in numerous satellites... but fail to qualify, or do so very rarely. The explanation is simple: satellite tournaments require the use of special techniques that differ greatly from regular tournaments, and in some cases, even contradict them! This book provides an overview of satellite tournaments. It delivers the best strategies to implement. Through numerous examples, it addresses all the specific situations, revealing the keys to make the most of them. It also highlights the main pitfalls to avoid, which are common in this kind of tournament. All so that you can finally participate in your dream tournaments for a ridiculously low price. Finally, a book on this topic in French was needed, and of course François Montmirel wrote it! "Satellites can be extremely profitable and are one of the few 'hidden treasures' still exploitable."
