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 the reason for the popularity of satellite tournaments, which pave the way for the dream. A player who could never afford a $10,000 seat in the Las Vegas Main Event can still participate by winning one or more satellite tournaments and paying a modest fee. Thousands of players participate in this way every year in tournaments that are too expensive for them – and hundreds manage to cash in significant amounts due to their finishes at the final table! However, many players participate in numerous satellites but struggle to qualify, or do so very rarely. The explanation is simple: satellite tournaments require the use of special techniques that differ significantly 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 and reveals the keys to making the most of them. It also points out the main pitfalls to avoid, which are common in this type of tournament. So that you can finally participate in your dream tournaments at a ridiculously low cost. Finally, there had to be a book in French on this subject, and of course, François Montmirel wrote it!
