Strategy for NL Tourny with Rebuys and Add On

[ChipFish]

????? ????
Perhaps this little challenge with you and TP should be a re-buy tourney...
Seriously... Not only are you putting yourself at a disadvantage early... but also late....
Why?
Assume you do not rebuy immediately...
You have T1000
A guy doubles up at your table.. and has T2000.
You get pocket aces next hand... He calls your raise, and you push all-in and he calls...
You win....
Instead of winning a 4k pot, you only have 3k.....
The following hand you get Pocket Kings....
The chipleader was just moved to your table... He calls your all-in and you win.... now you only have 6k instead of 8k....
Do you see where I am going with this?
Basically, by not taking an immediate re-buy you are costing yourself potential chips...
Same goes for the add-on.

It is not a smart play, and many professionals will agree... but, whatever works for you.
