How To Get Onto The World Poker Tour

In 2002 World Poker Tour made its debut with Texas Holdem. Poker is now even shown on ESPN. Its audience is increasing and so is poker's popularity. Many of us may have had dreams of being a professional poker player and being on the poker tour, however, the buy-ins is just way too expensive. The tournament buy-ins mainly ranges between $ 2,500 and $ 25,000 which is a lot of money for a player to buy in without a safety net joint with a risk of not being successful.

However, with the continuous growth in the poker world, taking part in these tournaments has become less expensive compared to the 2,500to 25,000 buy-in range. Online poker websites now put forward tournaments called "Satellites" whose buy-ins range for as little as $ 1 to up to $ 1000. There will be fewer players at the higher you buy-in and more seats are going to be awarded to a larger tournament. If you spend $ 5 playing at the poker tables an evening and is able to win yourself an entrance (paid) to a $ 2,500 buy-in tournament at Bellagio then, who knows with a buy-in for $ 500 Satellite you can even be at the World Series later on.

It may seem as an easy task to win a seat by jumping into these satellites but it must be noted that there is a lot of stiff competition in satellites. Everyone wants to immediately try and win a seat at a cheaper rate instead of buy-in for a full amount. Hence, it is very crucial to plan out a strategy to play multi-tables in front of pro opponent poker players.
