The great thing about these step satellites with small buy-ins is that they allow players without a large bankroll to qualify for a major tournament and, with a little luck, even win something. It’s worth noting that it’s not just your poker skills that matter here, but also sheer persistence. In other words, the more often you participate in these satellites, the better your chances of eventually making it to the target tournament.
Well, poker skills also play their role but surely the ones who take part in such tournaments again and again often understand that how those tournaments works and then they can always reach top positions in those tournaments. The best lesson is to have patience, and never give up, because the ones who keep trying often end up winning one day than those who don't try at all.
