partypoker Tournament Dollars, Satellites With a Twist

partypoker Tournament Dollars
partypoker Tournament Dollars

Satellite tournaments are extremely popular in the online poker world because they give players the opportunity to play in events they would not ordinarily be able to afford. Tournament dollar satellites take these tournaments to the next level by giving players the ultimate in flexibility. T$ satellites are available at partypoker.

Tournament dollar satellites play the same way as a traditional satellite but with one key difference. They pay out tournament dollars (T$), hence the name, instead of seats into specific tournaments and events.

This virtual currency gives you more flexibility when it comes to playing in higher stakes tournaments because you can spend them on multi-table tournament entries, to buy into Sit & Go tournaments, partypoker’s jackpot SPINS, and even the site’s online tour events. You can even use T$ to enter more satellites, including satellite dollar satellites!

partypoker Omaha Daily Legends
partypoker Omaha Daily Legends

Pot Limit Omaha players are often overlooked when it comes to tournament poker. Not at partypoker where the PLO players have some incredible tournaments to get their teeth into: the PLO Daily Legends.

partypoker's Daily Legends tournaments have proven immensely popular for several reasons. They have reduced a late registration period and limited re-entries (usually just a single re-entry) which levels the playing field. They finish at a reasonable hour, too, without compromising the average stack size. They are genius really.

PLO Daily Legends follow in the same vein except they are all Omaha tournaments instead of hold'em. Buy-ins range from the $2.20 Forge and increase to the $55 Chieftain.
