When should you re-buy or add on?

If the add-on makes a real impact on your stack or even in relation to others' stacks then take it. (A 2k add-on with 17k in your stack isn't very impactful) I never re-buy though unless I know I outmatch others. Usually after a suck out.

Re buying into a tourney is ok if you go out early to a bad beat, they can also lead you down a path to ruin. Be careful if it is a sattelite because if you are not careful you can actually spend more than the buy-in price for the tourney. Decide for yourself what you choose.
As for add ons, they can be a blessing if you are short stacked but you gain very little if you are a big stack. Using the add on can give you the edge to move up the money if you stick to a good game plan and more than once has given me the edge to make the final table and make a decent finish.

Rebuys and addons; I hate them

If the add-on makes a real impact on your stack or even in relation to others' stacks then take it. (A 2k add-on with 17k in your stack isn't very impactful) I never re-buy though unless I know I outmatch others. Usually after a suck out.

Oh how I hate rebuys and add ons. When a player is knocked out, I want them to stay out. But, the rebuy and add ons seems to allow them to come back again.

I have made it to the money in several freerolls, had it not been for the rebuys and add ons, I would have made it to the money.

For example, you are 10, 20, etc from the money, and there are 100 rebuys of add ons, then with out them, you would have made it t the money.

In addion, I never rebuy or buy add ons.


Just my opinion, for what it is worth. lol

I agree with the whole idea of never using them and I never pay to enter a tournament with rebuys and add ons.
I don't think it is the way that the game should be played.

If i did not make a rebuy during the rebuy period and I have a smaller stack while add-ons are being processed i will usually add-on if it will bring me to chip average or better

Depending on certain games I will rebuy if its worth it but usually I try not to buy in more than once

dont play a rebuy game unless you are planning on rebuying several times and doing an add on
the games have added value due to people who play too tight and dont rebuy
Ive grown to like them lots

Dont join rebuy/add-on game if you have limited BR.

The game is a "money gets money" thing.
