| re: What exactly IS a freeze-out? poker Actually, if I'm looking for tourney play, this is the type I want. Re-buy tourneys are almost as bad as freerolls as far as quality of play and maniacal style during the first 1/2 to 2/3 of the game. |

| i completely agree i hate rebuys because most people play with their first 3 or 4 buy-ins like they don't even care then again if you take advantage of the maniacs, you can get ahead early pretty easily which i never seem to be able to do which brings me back to why i hate 'em so much people in freezouts generally value their buy-in much more highly and thus you get a better poker game |

| just to throw in my two cents, though it is slightly off topic. I don't like rebuy tournies either, though i've never minded them as satalites, and Pokerstars does one rebuy, one add on tournies occasionally, where you can only rebuy once, that aren't so bad, and i actually kind of like. -n |

| $1.00 rebuys are a nightmare.... I'll never partake in them again... increase the dollar amount to $5.00 or so, its usually not so bad. I had a guy right after me in position rebuy 28 times before he gave up.' The first in the money spot was $5.00 and I tried telling him that, but people just don't make a lick of sense.' |

| I once played in a rebuy tournament on PokerHost and saw someone spend over $100 in rebuys. He totally ruined the tournament for me. Made huge raises every hand so there was not even the thought of getting in a hand unless you had one of the top premium hands. Freezeouts make sure that everyone plays their best every hand. |

| Rebuys are the way to go. If you are a player of any caliber, (and from here you should be),making past the first hour without rebuys is a piece of cake. What makes them great are the players who kept on rebuying increased the pot for you and are among the first to go out after the rebuy session is over. |

| I think that those of you that have replied and talked bad of the rebuy tournys dont get the strategic point of rebuys. If you are going to play a rebuy tourny in the first place then you must be willing to rebuy at least several times and add on at the break no matter what. The point is to build a stack of chips large enough to be very comfortable with and give you an advantage after the add on period. I have used this strategy many times and it has done well for me and many other regulars i play against. I didnt like rebuy tournys at first either but now i love them . |
