Online satellite tournaments are an opportunity to get into a big event without investing the big buy-in that’s usually required. These events require that you make it to a certain point to qualify for a seat, so the strategy can change a bit in the later stages of the tournament.

Be aware of the number of remaining players, and adjust your aggression to where you are situated among the chip leaders. If you’re sitting in the top 10% of chip leaders your aggression can be cut back and you can wait for premium cards in good positions - or even sit out of the action altogether if you think you have enough chips to get you there.

If you’re on a bigger stack you can press the action on smaller stacks, especially close to the bubble. No one wants to risk their tournament at this stage of the game.
