Default just my .02

From my rebuy experience all i will say is that it is as much of a tournament to see who can rebuy the most, as it is to see who the better poker players are. But seriously. I would not say 5x to rebuy add on. Maybe nore hopefully less. Whe they say loosen up that dont mean the K5s and the real jusnk hands but more of the suited connectors and the 1 and sometimes 2 gap connectors. Hope this helps

It's personal preference. I have been using the same stratergy for quite sometime and I do not know if it has a psychological impact on myself but I am aware that I must play to my fullest potential.

Like I said, opinion will vary from person to person and for me, I try not to get involved with re-buy or add-ons.

Not necessarily.....
Try doing this.... Play very strong starting hands....(yes. During the rebuy.)
You are only trying to double up once. (gives you 4x the starting stack).
You are actually hoping there are alot of rebuys at your table...
That means, more chips in play (for you to take hopefully).

so the general consensus is to take addons whenever they are offered? Those of you that play a lot of online tournies, is this what you do?

Year old threads are fun for the whole family.

TP, I thought you were taking care of this?

I tried to, but the "hack" I found isn't supported for the version of vbulletin that we are running, and I don't trust it.

This is the best I could find anywhere:


If anyone (ahem, Robbie Robb to the rescue?) can find something that will definitely work, I'm all over it. I just don't trust this, as it hasn't worked for the past handful of people who have tried it on vb version > 3.5.0. We are running 3.5.2 right now.

Another interesting FYI: Remember when Chip used to post?

And yet one more: I said "for the record" in one of my posts above - Dammit, stupid Aeq was stupid right!

I dragged this thread out because I was wondering what strategy folks recommend for rebuy and addon tournies. I first searched for "addon" through threads, but most of the info was old. So instead of starting a new thread and then having someone link to this one, I justed ask a vague followup question in this thread. If that is not the preferred way to ask a question probably has already been asked previously, just let me know.
