Hello UB:
You often see players enter into the bigger tourneys like the Main Event of the WSOP whom have no or very little chance to do well. No matter if its a 10k event or a $200 online event, Earn your way in. Satellites are the key here. They offer you the best way to enter at a much cheaper rate. You will also be gaining the much needed experience we all need. If you just keep playing the higher buyin tourneys and your return is not doing very well is a great way to kill your bankroll. Another great thing about playing satellites is when you win your entry into the tourney and you cash in the tourney you will already have a good profit, Lets say you put up $200 for a shot at a WSOP 10k Main Event seat and win your seat. Now even if you barely cash in the event and say that pays $18,000 or so you now have a great profit as oppose to you putting up the 10k to play , then beat over 90% of the players and not even double your investment. I am in noway saying you should just play to try and cash in the tourney, you should always play to win or finish in the top 3 of every tourney you inter if there is a graduating pay scale because thats where the real big money is of most all tourneys.
This seems to be the time to start playing tons of satallites with the WSOP coming up along with the WPT Championship just around the corner. Thats a 25k buyin that stings when you get knocked out of it. Trust me I know the feeling. Last year I get in all in on the 2nd level with AA vs KK on a 10 high flop. Winning the pot would of put me at 107k in chips, the chip leader of day 1A was somthing like 157k in chips. Being there will also be lots of event this year at the WSOP and to just buyin and not do well will be very expensive I suggest you play many of the sit and goes and win your way in or play tons online and get your bankroll upto a comfortable point where you can buyin. My favorite way to enter live events if from the comfort of my own home. You can play tons of satellites every week and with lots of volume I am assured to get in at a very good discount.
Its been a blast watching Annie on Celebrity Apprentice. It’s an honor to be her coach on the Best Damn Poker Show and I often get asked whats Annie really like as a person.The show shows you part of her personality. She is well educated and stands up for what she believes. She is always very fair and will be open for change but the best thing I can say about Annie is she is a wonderful mother. Her kids always come first to her that’s why you don’t see her on the tournament trail as you do many other poker players. Annie also has a promo called “Annie Dukes Apprentice Challenge” where you have a chance to win a trip to Aruba along with many other prizes including buyins to many online tourneys. Check it out
I hope to see ya at the satellites tables
