add on is normally 500-1000 chips more than a rebuy.

If an either/or situation, id stick at my starting chips, play a bit looser than normal, if i bust i can rebuy, if im safe b4 first break, ill addon, cant lose either way then

Well, sure... but what about one of those tourneys where you only get ONE rebuy and ONE add on? Do you still take it right away?

I don't care if it's a tournament allowing:

one rebuy OR one add-on, or
one rebuy AND one add-on,

I'll still take the chips right at the beginning. A few reasons make sense to me:
(1) I am more deep stacked than Johnny, who didn't rebuy.

(2) There are more bad players at the beginning of the tournament, and with more chips, I can afford to play with them.

(3) I am really looking for a spot where I can double up against someone else who also took the rebuy. If I'm lucky enough to have that happen, I now have close to 4x the original starting stack.

(4) Generally, I'm not looking to survive the first hour and then take the rebuy. That is silly, and not aggressive enough (of a mindset) to win the tournament., IMO.

That's all right now.

You should re-buy right away always in my opinion no-matter if you have unlimited or single re-buys.You want the chips and you dont want to get caught somewhere in between the range to re-buy and the total you'd have if you bought right away. Always add on as well if your allowed.

I think always rebuying is correct if you think you have an advantage over the field, and if you don't have an advantage over the field you obviously shouldn't be playing in the first place. Having the chips at the beginning to build a big stack is important.

I don't believe always adding-on is correct. If you have a massive chip stack at the end of the rebuy period, the relative advantage of adding on another 2% of your stack isn't really worth the investment to get it, imo.

I dont agree with not getting the add on always. I understand your mind set as I play in a a tourny all the time that when im loaded in chip i dont want to add on but I feel anytime you have a chance at chips you may need later you take them.Do you not want to win a pot that is 2% of your stack at NO RISK?
