ReBuy Tourney Question

[omahilo]

many times people in $5 or $10 rebuy tourneys will go allin every single hand untill they build a large chip stack then will start playing normal again.

Rebuys are just an excuse for morons to play even worse than usual and get lucky, avoid them and turbo games and your bankroll will be better off for it.

Not doing so well now. The bigger bankrolls are bullying me.
I actually do well in rebuys and turbo tourneys. I made it to the 200+15 last week through the $3+rebuy and won a $10 turbo tourney not too long ago. People panic and play bad cards in rebuy and turbo. I dont seem to have much luck lately playing regular tourneys although I do agree with you they are much better.

[omahilo]

I agree with you... to win a seat to the 350K tourney on stars the 11+ rebuy turbos are a nice way to go.

I just dont play them normally because dudes are willing to spend $200-300 in a $10 rebuy just rebuying every hand and going allin till they get a large stack.

end of the hour 268 entries, 467 rebuys, 147 add-ons

8 seats + 9th $190

176 left and im low in in 143rd place

i didnt have to rebuy so just 5+5addon

For $10, to win a seat would be a miracle

[omahilo]

the 5+ rebuys are a grind... your better off doing the 10+ rebuy turbos, on Sunday it usually gets 60-70 seats and 100+ seats for the 350K.

I have nothing to do this afternoon
In a better position now. 55th out of 142

I made the 350 one last week throught the 10+rebuy... was about 35 seats out of 200 players. It's a 22+rebuy this week, because it's the last sunday of the month.

If you are going to enter a rebuy tournament, you MUST Immediately rebuy.
Therefore this tournament should have cost you a minimum of $5+1 +$5 +$5

There is no excuse for not rebuying immediately, and any other reasoning is just bad strategy.

I find as long as you can double up your initial double-rebuy and then you get the add-on, you should do just fine.

[Talking Poker]

I disagree. I typically don't like Rebuy tourneys, but there certainly is a strategy to them. If what you say is partially true though - and the "morons" are attracted to rebuy tourneys - then they should be even more profitable for smart players like us.

Think about it.
