So now you've learned the basics and you're ready to move on up into some big time tournaments. What's the best (and by best we mean "cheapest") way of getting into a big buy-in tournament? Win a "chip and a chair" in a satellite! "Championship Satellite Strategy" is another in the valuable series of books co-authored by Tom McEvoy, this time with fellow World Champion Brad Daugherty.

There are specific strategies that work well in satellites and differ from normal tournament play. Whether it's a one-table satellite, a super (multi-table) satellite, or a satellite in the online poker world, McEvoy and Daugherty offer their experience to help you, as they put it, "turn a toothpick into a lumberyard". They discuss important factors to consider for any type of tournament, then specific things to keep in mind when playing limit or no-limit satellites. Yes, a lot of what you'll read may seem like common sense, but if you've played in any tournaments, you know that "common sense" isn't all that common. And it'll be even more noticeable once you start applying some "McEvoy & Daugherty sense".
