Two poker questions

  1. What is “Heads up” poker?

  2. What is a “Satellite” tournament, in online play?

Thanks. As I get more into poker (what a wonderful game) I should know this stuff. :slight_smile:

Heads up is two players playing against each other.

Satellite is a qualifying tourney to gain a seat at a larger tourney. Like a heat race for poker, there might be 500 entries in the satellite, and only one winner gets the seat at the larger tourney.

Satellites are a cheap way to get into an expensive tournament (if you win).

If a seat at a tourney costs $10,000. You can play in a $100 satellite tournament with 100 other people. The winner gets the $10,000 seat.
