Hi,

So I'm a fairly new player, been playing about 8 months for real money,I'm about to play my first live satellite game and would love any advice / tips???

Anything will be massively appreciated!

Just enjoy it fella, to start with i would announce whatever actions you take until you get into the flow of things. 

Try to keep a track of stack sizes and the chips in the pot and most importantly how much a player has left behind, as depending on the players some people will commit themselves without even realising with a ridic low amount left behind. 

Concentrate on playing the 2 players to your right as it'll prob be 9/10 handed, watch their hands (+speed of action) and look out for generic tendencies like pulling cards in when they like a hand or looking like they are going to fold, etc.  Its always nice to get a read like this quickly... but it takes a little while tbh,. 

Also not sure how familialr you are/aren't with live but if it gets to show down its usually the last person who bet who has to show first and you can just muck if you call but think your loosing  If your obv winning (like set+ or nuts) its decent ettique to just flip them over straight away so they can muck... If all in then both players need to show the hand. 

Good luck
