Thinking of enterring.....

Here are a couple previous threads that already have a bunch of feedback regarding rebuy tournies. Read through those and, if you have questions, post them in this thread you've started.

Rebuys, why do you dislike them?
Rebuy MTT???

GL in the game.

Last year it wasnt that bad at all, not that dissimlilar to a freezeout to be honest. Think there was about 2000 entrants. It all depends on the perceived value really. If you consider yourself capable of a top 30 spot then you could consider maybe 5 rebuys. If you think you are going to be lucky to get into the top 200 then maybe just 1 rebuy. In short, Be frank and honest about your prospects and decide your rebuys from there.

EDIT EDIT EDIT...doh....it's a feeder. This makes it even easier. If you think that your abilities and chances are good to qualify (530 value), then you can attach a hypothetical % to it. eg you think you have the patience and ability to bring it home, then if you think you've got a say 5% liklihood of doing it, then the perceived value is 5% of 530 ie $26.5. Therefore dont spend more than this on rebuys and add-ons. Adjust the % realistically according to your ability and how you stack is looking compared to others.

One thing i have noticed is that ppl will go all-in and at the sametime rebuy. Doesn't matter what there chip stack is the system at pp still lets them do it. I thought you could only rebuy with chip stack less that 3000.
I tryed, didn't let my do it. Sucks learning this stuff on the $$.
Any thoughts on that style of rebuy? I can see that the system sees that you have no chips then lets you rebuy. I believe you should only be able to rebuy when your out of hand, not in the middle on an all-in.

bennbfc,

Why make the point that it is being played on PokerStars.

Does this affect your thinking/strategy
