Poker is sometimes called a game of kings, and for some tournaments, it requires a kingly sum to buy-in. Many high-stakes poker tournaments are out of the price range of the average player. Luckily, there is a game type that doesn’t require a large sum to buy-in and can help hopeful players gain entry into the more prestigious tournaments without having to come up with the massive buy-in. Satellite tournaments are the best friend of poker players with dreams of playing in big poker games that are normally out of their price range.
