One of the greatest things about playing on PokerStars is the ability to turn a small buy-in into a monster payday. Every day we run countless satellites with little or no cash buy-in. If you play your cards right, you could end up winning thousands or even millions of dollars in prizes. World Series of Poker satellites - You can find satellites to the world's largest poker tournament in your PokerStars game lobby by clicking "Events," "WSOP" and then "Cash Satellites." Here you will find satellites ranging from $2 to $650. If you are fortunate enough to win a WSOP prize package, you'll follow in the footsteps of our past champions and play for millions in Las Vegas. The PokerStars Sunday Million satellites - The PokerStars Sunday Million is our flagship event and the world's largest ongoing weekly tournament. Every Sunday PokerStars guarantees that the prize pool in our Sunday Million will be at least $1,000,000. Satellites to our Sunday event can be found in your PokerStars game lobby by clicking "Tourney" and then "Satellite." With tournaments ranging from $3 to $39, you don't have to break your bankroll to take your shot at a million dollar prize pool. Free entry to our largest events - With the PokerStars Frequent Player Point program, you can use the FPPs you earn from playing at PokerStars to enter our WSOP and Sunday Million satellites. To use your FPPs to play a WSOP freeroll, simply click "Events," "WSOP" and then "FPP Satellites" in your PokerStars game lobby. FPP freerolls to the Sunday Million can be found by clicking "Tourney," "Satellite" and then "FPP." |

Q. Do you feel your training as an actor has helped your poker game? Can you give me a few tips on acting at the table? 
A. Acting experience has certainly helped me sell my very rare bluff, but nothing can replace solid poker fundamentals, understanding of your opponents, and respect for the game. While the experience I've gained as an actor certainly enhances my game from time to time, acting experience is no substitute for talking with other players I respect, studying the masters, and learning to be decision (rather than results) oriented.
It should also be apparent that using acting skills is completely worthless online, and it's just not worth it to bluff too often anyway (one of the greatest weaknesses actors typically have is a tendency to bluff way too often without regard to the information they should have based upon the way the hand's played out).

Playing different games raises your poker IQ You probably know that PokerStars offers several types of games ranging from the wildly popular Texas Hold'em to old favorites like Seven Card Stud. While you may be a huge fan of Hold'em, practicing all the other games--even if it is for play money--will improve your skill in every game. Stud games teach you to keep track of cards that have already been dealt, and to re-evaluate the strength of your hand and odds based on the cards remaining in the deck. The fast-paced Omaha Hi-Lo game is a contest where the best possible hand is constantly changing. Learning Omaha games will teach you to quickly identify the nuts and play your hand accordingly. After playing new games, you'll find that venturing outside your poker comfort zone will offer you a fresh perspective and add subtle elements to your overall poker game. |
