Chris Moneymaker was an amateur who won entry to the W.S.O.P. in 2003 via an online satellite. He like many others never thought he’d play in, much less win a W.S.O.P. Main Event. Chris Moneymaker entered a $40.00 two table tournament and won entry to a W.S.O.P. satellite. He then needed to get into the top 3 in that satellite to get a W.S.O.P. Main Event seat, and did just that with ease. Chris Moneymaker wasn’t the first amateur to win the W.S.O.P. Main Event but now he’s one of the most recognizable players around. He was just an average Joe working as an accountant who changed his life playing a $40 W.S.O.P. satellite.
There are many different satellites that offer entry to a tournament in this years W.S.O.P.. “Winner take all” satellites are usually low buy-ins but only the first place finisher gets a W.S.O.P. tournament seat. Aggression is a good thing to play with in order to have a realistic shot at this kind of satellite. A “low buy-in” satellite offers a big field of players with a top percent of finishers gaining entry. With this type of satellite it’s usually just a small percentage of players winning a seat. Like in a field of 1000 players, maybe the top 20 will gain entry. This type of satellite involves playing a more conservative poker game. In a “high buy-in” satellite the cost is higher, and the chances of gaining entry are much better. In a field of a thousand players you may be shooting for the top 100 instead of 20 which is much easier to do. Find which satellite fits your budget before dishing money out. Also take into consideration your playing style as this will help in your choosing the right satellite to maximize your chances.
