is a good tournament in Carbon, despite starting late at night here, a question: are unlimited rebuys?

Yes, rebuys and add-ons. This might be the tourney where the add-on is like 20K chips

It is the best tourney Merge has to offer on a daily basis. I play it often.

3k starting stack, 5 min blinds and then 30 k add on at 1st break ... if you can get to the break with out too many/any rebuys it can be very profitable. Interesting structure to say the least.

What does the prize pool get to usually? Does it reach the guarantee, or is there a lot of overlay?

never an overlay

hmm, too bad there's no overlay.

Am I reading the lobby correctly? There's late reg for 90mins and the add-on starts at 90mins. Couldn't you just buy-in at at 89mins, then addon for the 30000 chips (bypassing the "Frenzy")

Ive done this, its just depends on how you want to play, if you want a chance to have a big stack at this point you have to play the frenzy, if you want to start at the 90 min mark and have 10bb's, which makes your option shove/fold its not a bad strategy, when i did it I got to final 3 tables. Just how you feel like playing as to what to do.

I agree that they're two different approaches...

What do the blinds get up to at 90mins?

Well I bought in at the 90min mark, got my addon and picked up a few pots. I then was poised for a nice double-up and this happened:
What can ya do...

At the end of the rebuy period the blinds are equal to the buy in. 2000/1000 I believe. But in some of the tourneys at merge you get that huge add-on, which is a neutralizer if ever there was one.

These are great fun, and if the cards are flowing your way, they can be nice moniez.
