rebuy tournaments at pokerstars with a buy-in from $ 3.30 + R NL Hold'em

Thats a good question i would like to read what responses you get for this as i would like to know too.

First thing you do.....an immediate rebuy.
Be prepared to be confronted with loads of loose shoves and all-in calls.
It's up to you how to deal with that.
I'd say be prepared to do some rebuys, once you'll catch some and double-or even tripple up.
Well that's where you wanna be, because after an hour the rebuy period ends, you'll add on and from than you'll see lots of players tighten up.
With a nice stack you will be able to abuse that.
However, be careful with players who aare not able to switch from rebuy play to normal play after the add on.

Well, probably a bit general info.
Most important, it's a rebuy, you start doing a rebuy and have to be prepared to do double rebuys several times.

from here the question arises, why not take advantage of such loose players, you can also sit tight and play with the premium cards ... as our range of hands will be ahead of our opponents, or is not correct all the same?

I don't have much experience of the $3 one but I've played the Daily Dollar a fair few times and final tabled it a couple times too. For me, I sit super tight in the rebuy period and rebuy before the tournament starts. 3k starting stack and when u walk into another player with a big stack, you're getting the maximum. My range is pretty much limping small PPs, hit your set and value bet away, raising big ones, obviously you want to get hands like AA/KK/QQ All in Pre Flop and try and double through because people will call with trash. Apart from that I'm only really playing AK/AQ and maybe AJs and KQs in late position. Most of the marginal hands like A9, KJ ,JTs you'll wanna throw away because you rarely get to see cheap flops. If you can get to around 8-10k then take the add-on, you'll have a good stack to be going on with.

Watch out for the people who play like a maniac before the rebuy period is over and slow down after the rebuy period. You'll notice a big change.

Read about an interesting strategy game with unlimited Rebuys: The players agree and massively raise all-in on each deposit. Imagine, say, 6 people agree, the first deposit purchased additionally and moved all-in. Someone eventually will have twelvefold stack! Rebuy, yet all-in, and someone is already six-stack. So that's played a few rounds, until all the contracting parties have a substantial stack.

What happens if the guy who hit his hand first and has the 6x stack keeps winning? Also, isn't that collusion?!

and if the situation is ... all in the course of this conspiracy, and the guy who won the first will not play as long as the stacks opponents catch up

I think a good strategy .. but here it is necessary that all players are honest players. especially the first who will win =)

i played it several time, made it deep once, made like 100$ or so. it will be crazy at first, so keep tight, and if you get a good hand, AA KK QQ, you will easily get called if you shove prefop, you might double or triple up, or get sucked out on, who knows.

Adjust to your normal strategy when you are down to one re-buy.

Go all-in with any pair if only limpers or all folders came in before the flop. Call any raise up to 8x the big blind, otherwise fold.
Go all-in with any 2 cards that are paint before the flop unless there is a 6x raise in front of you, otherwise fold.
Raise 4x with any Ace if no raises in front of you, otherwise fold.
Call with any Ax suited as long as the raise is less that 50% of your chips.

After the end of the re-buy period there will be an add-on period. Take advantage of this unless you have so many chips that you don’t need the add-on. As a general rule, if the add-on will give you less that 10% of your chips or if no-one can pass you as the chip leader then do not add-on. If you can become the chip leader or if adding on will increase your chip stack more than 10%, then go ahead and add-on.

I think it's a loose game strategy
. but it allows you to count on the high places of the tournament

You should play some $1r and practice before hitting the $3r's.

Well it's too loose a game, I do not deny this, you can just change the range of hands and will be something that we should
but at the same time, plus a strategy that can win the top place in the tournament as a result

I really do think this makes very little sense, i dont understand why you would re-buy at all, everytime you re-buy your going against players with bigger and bigger stacks, puting yourself further and further behind for the same money it would take to just enter another one where everybody is even again. They run all day.

If you think like this then you shouldn't play re-buys at all.

I am almost getting to the point where re-buys are all I like to play. You can get to the money with such deep stacks - and the payouts are fantastic due to all the fish who don't know how to play re-buys - and those who do know how but end up with multiple re-buys.

Is it better to play re-buy mtt or the normal ones?

Yes that IS collusion, if it was arranged. And not very feasible, since it is a MTT and seating cannot be planned, and any chat about doing that would result most probably in banning the player(s) making that suggestion.

As has been mentioned, re-buys have their own strategy and approach. If you dont understand what that means, dont play them until. Simple really.

One of the first things you need to do is not look at a, say 3$ RB, as a 3$ game. Plan on at least 2 re-buys and the add-on, so look at it as a $12 game. You may only need to re-buy once, you may do it more than twice- You should also not go too crazy with your re-buys IMO. But remember that all those chips are still out there to be gotten, so if you are a decent player you should be able to exploit a lot of the crazy chip spewers in early stages with larges stacks, and having enough chips to make stacking off against the loose large stacked luck boxes is one of the major pleasures of a re-buy.

It really depends on your playing style. My strengths are in a deep stack - so I love the extra chips and the inflated prize pool in re-buys is fantastic.

You probably should allow for more re-buys than that - if you only double re-buy once a $3.30 buy-in becomes a $15.30 buy-in. I would at least expect to buy-in that much.

Still not understanding the logic, maybe you can explain it to me.

I am new to these, so keep that in mind, but seems to me it makes more sense not to re-buy as when you re-buy you have to have less chance as you are going against much larger stacks. Obviously if you dont re-buy you have little chance of a profit from a single tournament, however from what i can tell a lot of people will double re-buy a couple times, and then add on, so they are investing at least 5 times what you are every time.

Does it not make more sense to enter a new tournament with a potentially massive profit if you catch a hand early and win one of the multi all ins before going on to place? as said im new to these but played maybe 10-15 of them before taking $182 for i think 4th, and what really could/should have been over 500 for 1st (pre flop all in, aces vs kings suck out). I figured the players who are all in with anything and multi re-buying are just bumping the prize pool.

I will try my best to explain it - though I don't have the best way with words on these things lol.

The more chips you have the more opportunities you have to make moves to gain more chips. You can also get all-in more often against the players who did not re-buy and you will still be in the game if you lose. The times you win these and add all those chips to your stack are worth the times you lose them.

Anytime you can add chips to your stack it is +EV. The number of bb's you have totally dictates what action you can take. You don't want to be in a situation where multiple people have 2-3 times the chips you have. They will constantly abuse you - just as you would be doing to short stacks if you had the chips.

Your goal in these is the final table - or even the top 4-5. In re-buys the payouts are so good that you don't even have to win it to have a great payday.

Here is a great example for you. I recently starting playing the $75k $11 R/A. I have played in it 5 times and here are my results:

1. Made initial re-buy, 1 double re-buy and the add-on. Invested $51 and finished 4th for $5944.13.
2. Made initial re-buy and add-on. Invested $31 and finished 332nd for $75.32.
3. Made initial re-buy, 1 double re-buy and the add-on. Invested $51 and finished 350th for $62.53.
4. Made initial re-buy and add-on. Invested $31 and no cash.
5. Made initial re-buy and add-on. Invested $31 and no cash.

If I had not done the double re-buy in the first tournament there would never have been an almost $6k cash. I have cashed 3 out of 5 times - and 2 of those I had to double re-buy. The 2 smaller cashes are enough to cover a few more of these buy-ins.

Out of 5 I have only had to double re-buy twice - but took the same risks in the other 3 and won. I am not an extremely loose player - but I need a chip advantage as often as possible and will never pass up an opportunity to buy more chips.

I hope that helps.

whether to take rebuys and addons? Definitely - worth it. Experts recommend at least have the funds for five additional money purchasing fees (if the number of rebuys is not limited). If you have money to dokupki not - play Freezeout. That is, once a year, you're lucky, you can at the very beginning of the game to build up the stack and get into the prizes, but in most cases you will very quickly from the tournament will take off. The game within the first hour is usually very loose and aggressive, frequent all-ins. If you do not participate in them, you just lose all the blinds, if you will - then the very high risk of loss, even if you have the advantage that the probability will often be in the region of 50 to 50, and a lot of Coin-flips in a row is unlikely to win. As for addons, the simplified rule of thumb: always take your addon! The goal of every player - to have a maximum stack, which would "crush" opponents, and greatly increases the chances of winning. Taking the addon, you build your stack and closer to that goal. But in principle there can be exceptions: if at the end of the first hour of your stack is much larger than any of the competitors if the addon will add only a few percent of your stack, you can save money, the benefits of dokupki will be small, but this situation in practice will be quite rare.

I am not a fan of Re-buy tournies. I like when your out, your out, game over! I feel very seldom you place ITM after you Re-buy, I've never had it happen to me. But that could just be my play, but don't like them personally!

The statistics you draw in the HUD for MTT ?

I use:

I bring more articles such as think there is too much

This is way too much - needs to be simplified.

since I started using HM recently decided sprsit experienced players .. what do you think about it .. but what to choose pokertracker or HM all the same?

I have used both and much prefer HEM. I had a lot more issues with PT - have rarely had any with HEM.

In the $ 60k Guaranteed tournament buy-in $3+0.30+R on PokerStars, from more than 6.500 members, our user has won first place and won $ 10,652!

Triagrootrika story of success

Start to put it mildly, was not pretty. Starting stack in the rebuy period, there was not something that ramp, I could not even save the start, he was of the order of 2k chips in pancakes 75-150.

Following a add-on, which I happily missed, respectively, my stack was equal to 1 / 4 of the mean.

in the top-4 Holdem Manager for some reason did not retain the majority of hands. I will say in words what I have found resistance to three-bet all of my raises and began regularly giving away 4 bet at the hands of the average force, which oppy calmly fall off, because stacks are deep enough, that gave me the opportunity to calmly four-bet and fall off a 5-bet shove.

The top 3 I have tried hard to explain that the loot should be immediately shared, as I personally and my heart could not stand - look at koinflipy at the cost of a couple thousand greens. Opponents have a different opinion, not willing to share. I, in turn, wrote in a chat that "the star had then, and in turn cleaned them.

In heads-up, the whole sorry I'm not a pro, and quickly lost all the advantage in chips. It came to a fourfold difference, not in my favor, but it does not mean that I was ready to surrender. A couple of times to catch him in loose three-bet-pushah. With equal stack, after 3 consecutive three-bet from me, opponent could not resist stuffed 4-bet pushem 77. Unfortunately for him, I had QQ

and wish us a taste of victory in any tournament =)

I am sorry but there is a bit of an English barrier - are you saying you won that tournament?

not me but the guy from pokerstrategy.com

"Typically" in rebuy tournaments you're going to be playing deepstacked poker once the addon period is over but in those $3rebuys on Stars, check out the structure in them (the one in the morning (14:30ET) is typical of most MTT's.. with blinds hitting the 150/300 at the end of the 2nd hour... but the one in the evening is alot different > at end of 2nd hr. the blinds are at 500/1,000. In other words it's a shove fest right from the get go).

I think that it is more similar to bingo, as a large number of participants and the average as I have observed from 7500 people

Ummmmm...no

I am not sure why you would think that after all that has been said in this thread.............

LOL @ this thread. Glad Dakota was here to sort it out as a lot oo it is just horrid. Always take the initial rebuy, and always plan to rebuy at least 6-8x, treat a 3.30R like at least a $25 tourney
