Barry Carter releases his third poker book

Our news editor has been busy with Dara O'Kearney to write the definitive book on winning poker satellites.

Poker Satellite Strategy
The new book

As you may know, our long serving editor Barry Carter has a side hustle going as a poker author, having co-written The Mental Game of Poker 1 & 2 with friend of PokerStrategy and mental game coach Jared Tendler. 

Barry has added a third title to that bookshelf, and has just released Poker Satellite Strategy with professional poker player Dara O'Kearney

Dara one of the most successful live and online tournament players ever from Ireland, he is known as 'Doke' online and has over $3 million in online cashes, as well as eight PocketFives Triple Crowns. He is sponsored by Unibet Poker and is the co-host of The Chip Race Podcast

He also has a reputation as one of the best satellite grinders in the game, with over $1 million won in satellites alone and having twice won the PokerStars UKIPT satellite leaderboard. 

"I've always felt there should be a book about satellites" Barry told us, "on the surface they are a very simple format, but it is surprising how little is known about satellite strategy and how many basic errors are made in them. Dara O'Kearney is the best satellite grinder and teacher in the game, it has been tremendously fun and a great learning experience working with him."

"We cover everything from the early stages to the bubble, HUD stats to the mental game, late registering, ICM, GTO and when it is correct to fold Aces preflop."

Poker Satellite Strategy is available on Amazon now, both paperback and kindle formats. More formats will be available soon. If you purchase the book by March 15, email barryrichardcarter@gmail.com with proof of purchase to get a free video on how to do 'Chance of Cashing calculations' - a quick way to make bubble decisions at the tables. 

Stay tuned to PokerStrategy.com next week when we will be giving away some free copies and a big congratulations to Barry on his third book. We are sure there will be many more to come!
