A Satellite tournament is a lower cost tournament where the prize is free
entry into a more expensive event. For example, there may be a $5 entry fee
satellite where the top 10% of players win entry into a tournament that
would usually cost $50 entry fee.
Satellite tournaments are often considered a way for players to get into tournament that they cannot afford a normal buy-in for, but players who understand the structure of a satellite can make them profitable in their own right.

It is in the middle parts of the tournament that we need to build our stack gradually by employing selective aggression while keeping a close eye on the ever-increasing blinds in order to not let ourselves get blinded out of contention. At the same time, we will be forced to gamble versus short stacks, keep a close watch on our opponents’ tendencies and strategies, make sure that we steal enough blinds to keep our stack healthy while not letting other players steal our blinds too easily. We also have to be prepared to make re-steals preflop with any two cards to keep aggressive players in check.
