Natural8 India x APT Manila Classic 2025

The Natural8 India x APT Manila Classic 2025 online MTT will take place on Natural8 India on 19th January at 08:30 PM IST. The buy-in to this tournament is ₹5,500. Do not worry; Natural8 India is hosting nine satellite events with a small buy-in of ₹550. And the qualifiers from these satties will get a ticket to the Online MTT on 19th January. Intriguing, isn’t it? This gives more players a chance to participate and win big!

Natural8 India will pause the main MTT event once it reaches the final table (last nine players), and the table will resume live in Manila. These nine finalists will get an all-expense paid trip worth ₹15 Lakh* in added value which is over and above the accumulated prize pool.

Satellite Tournaments: Tips and Tricks

1. Understand the structure: In satellite tournaments, many players win the same prize (a seat to a bigger event). Focus on surviving and securing a seat, not collecting the most chips.
2. Play Tight Early: In the early stages, avoid taking unnecessary risks. Focus on preserving your stack rather than accumulating chips. Survival is more important than chip accumulation at this stage.
3. Adjust your aggression: As the tournament goes on, change your play based on your stack size. If you’re short-stacked, look for chances to go all-in and apply pressure. If you have a comfortable stack, avoid risks and maintain your position.
4. Bubble Play: When approaching the bubble (the point where players start winning seats), tighten up your play. Many players will be overly cautious, so you can exploit this by stealing blinds and antes with well-timed aggression.
5. Know the Payout Structure: Always know how many seats are available and adjust your strategy accordingly. If you’re close to securing a seat, avoid unnecessary risks and focus on survival.
6. Fold Equity: Understand the concept of fold equity, which is the likelihood that your opponent will fold to your bet. Use this to your advantage, especially when you have a short stack.
7. Stay Focused: Satellite tournaments can be long and mentally draining. Stay focused and minimise distractions to make the best decisions during the event.
