Part one: reading a satellite structure and working out its true equity — seats awarded, entries, and the value of the last-place cash. Part two: the stack sizes where satellite play diverges hardest from a normal tournament, and why folding a strong hand on the bubble is routine. Part three: building a week around a series — which satellites to fire, which to skip, and how to avoid winning a seat you cannot use. Part four: bankroll rules for satellite-heavy schedules and how to record seat wins in your ledger so your ROI stays honest.
