At partypoker, everyone is given the chance to win big. Their satellites and Passports allow an aspiring player to turn a small investment into a massive prize.
Last month, British player Mike Hill was able to turn a $22 satellite into a MILLIONS Passport worth at least $10,000. On April 7, another one was able to do the same, but this time a bit better.

How do you turn $ 11 into $ 10,000? Well not so easy but possible. Today i turned a blast of 1 dollar into one of 15 ... I played a few of $ 1, i was 3 minutes in the kitchen, when i came back i went into another but the software did the maneuver and it was not checked on $ 1 as i left it, it was $ 15.

And you losted it? I know wich is the taste of it... I played a Blast of $5 that I won (the ticket) in a Blast freeroll. The multiplier gave to us a $ 15, so I started really aggressive with my good hands, and I arrive with a double of stack at the time to all-in. I was very reliant that I can win because the mathematics gives me the opportunity, but with three bad shots I losted it!

If he can use this ticket either online or live , that's awesome , cause he has too many options to use it in the best way possible , play the games he might have an edge on them , and win as much money as possible . Also , if that ticket lasts for 24 months , it couldn't be better than this . He has two years to spend this winning sat ticket , he can make his choices calmly , see gthe alternative options in live and online games , see also when this coromna crisis will ened completely , when live tournaments will start again , and play the ones he likes most

Yes, that might be awesome! We can make some calculations (I love mathematics, despiete I understan nothing of it!) a $ 10.000 passport might sale something like 50 tickets to decents tournaments (more or less), with prizes between $ 10.000 and $ 25.000, without any particular promotion. If he can makes 5 or 10 ITM (he is a good player and in the $200 buy-in are not professionals). He could multiply this amount without too much effort!

Well, if that is the situation, I think that might be more interesant play in a wonderful place near to you, to take advantage of the $ 1000 extras. If he don´t make good money, at least he stay in a good scenario, don´t you think? Any way, obviously he should think it agree with his goal of career, and not for pleasure. In the pro-life, poker is a job!

Professional players live with poker money and that is true for most. Some of them have jobs, businesses and other things to make money but after all, this is a real job. They can easily earn $ 1,500 a month or more and their lives will be good. Anything is possible and you can make money from 0 or with satellites like this men.

$ 1500 by month? CALICUL, that is little change for they! I was sawing videos of a young player (he talk in spanish) named Zero poker. He make a video of two days of tournament where he played two big of them, and five or six too much little. The big have $ 10.000 and $ 25.000 buy-in, an buy-in. And the littles since $ 1200 to $ 2500. In that two days of tournament He won $ 380.000!!!

I was not referring to first-rate professional players but to others who make a living from poker. Many gamblers manage to have profit 1500 dollars per month and this is very good for they. I was hoping for this... but i can't move forward with my strategies.

Now I understand to you. And, really, I could live very well with $ 1500 too. I told you years ago, when I make my first move with sit & go, I would need between $ 300 and $ 500 of poker to be happy and don´t lost any of my actual resources. So, with something like $ 5000 by year I´m fine. And I think that is possible if I study and take my time to it.

I once got into a 215$ tournament and won a little over 1000$ - my biggest win ever. one of my last hand I folded Jacks all in call from two players. Turned out they both had AK and I could have tripled myself into number 1 position. could have maybe win a really big prise but still think I made the right call on that spot.

Yes roeish3, JJ against two all-in is fold...painful but fold! I won my best prize also in a $ 215 buy-in tournament, and was $ 650. I played it with a gifted ticket of PartyPoker. Was a promotion of starting year (that it not happen now!). But I was too much afraid to play my best poker, I had some luck only. But I was really happy and full of dreams!

Anything can happen if you have a good game and play more real money tournaments with buy-ins of $ 5.50 or less more often. The chances really increase when you do this but until a good result i don't know how long it takes. It's a big fight here.

Yes, you have the reason CALICUL. That is the matter of bankroll management. You need a good backup to the downswing situation. And if you aren´t a very good player, you need more support there. In this mode, the tournaments, I only can play calm if I have a bankroll with more than 150 buy-in, despite some books are talking of a safe bankroll with 100/120 buy-in

You must to play multiple satellites and then try to make money because you studied more than i did. The possibility to see what i don't see is greater because i was lazy and learned a little strategy. I'm sorry but i don't read more about this ( have many hobbies ).

But you can organize if you want to improbe your skills. You have to take the time that you use to play poker, and split it in a time to stusy and a time to play. In the first stage, you only need to find good material to study. When you are sure that you have it, you can leave to play and concentrate in learn and buid a new startegy. When you have it, you could spend 1/4 time to study, 1/4 to analize your hands, and 1/2 to play...

Maragatero, you are right. My biggest tournament was a live one with many superstars and a grand prize of 250,000 dollars. I played cowered game and eventually lost with an all in I had to take because I was running out is money. Today I would have played it very differently. But you don't get these chances very often, I'm afraid.
