After the NBA finals are over, summer truly begins. While baseball season is in full bloom, there isn’t much in the way of sports otherwise, especially championship events. The World Series is in the fall, the Super Bowl is in the winter, and the NHL/NBA finals are late spring/early summer. In the dead heat of the summer, not much is going on in the sports world.
Actually, the largest pot of all is going on in early July. The World Series of Poker kicks off its initial events in June, with the Main Event beginning in early July. Now, you purists will point out that the final table is actually delayed until November, but 99% of the action occurs in the summer. Most people make their way into the tournament by winning a satellite, whether through an online poker room or at a land-based casino.
If you happen to win a satellite or are thinking about just making the $10,000 gamble, be sure to read up on your poker strategy so you have the best chance possible!
