A satellite in poker is a tournament where the prize is entry into a larger, more expensive tournament rather than a cash payout. For example, a player might enter a satellite tournament with a buy-in of $100, with the winner receiving entry into a main event tournament with a buy-in of $1,000. Satellites are a way for players to gain entry into more expensive tournaments for a lower cost and provide a potential path to winning a large prize without having to invest a large amount of money upfront. Additionally, satellites can be a good way for players to gain experience and build their tournament skills
