Rebuy Question

[bunny]

I agree with with your $20 cost on the rebuy tourney. I added an extra $10, which should be more than enough to get through it. If I need to go over the $33 mark, I should cut my losses and part said tourney.

I don't think I'd call it shortchanging myself. Prudent is a better word for it. What if tournament isn't playing out as you planned it would, you begin to tilt and keep on dipping into your bankroll? When do you stop? Till your roll runs out? Or is it best to set a limit?

After all that is said and done, if you still wish to go over the 'set amount', it's easily attainable using your neteller account. I wouldn't suggest it, but it's still easy enough to deposit more on the break, just before the add on period.

If you say so. I just don't see any need to make it any more difficult than it needs to be. If $30 is all you want to spend and after spending that, you're almost to the break and have a bunch of great players at your table that you know you can't beat, don't rebuy. Simple enough.

But if you're at a table with a bunch of donkeys, and you've accumulated some chips and things are looking good finally, even though you're in for $30 so far, I think it would be crazy to not take the add on for $3 more. So why give yourself the headache of having to redeposit and all that crap, hoping you can get it done in time, when all you needed to do was click the button?

And during the rebuy period, I know you don't have time to redeposit, etc.

All I'm saying is rather than create potential problems by hiding money from yourself, just have a little disclipline.

You call it "prudent." I call it "lack of self control." If you can't stop yourself from buying in to poker games without hiding money from yourself, you have far bigger problems to worry about...
