General question on poker tournaments. Do you think you make more money long term by taking 2 optional rebuys always?
FOR EXAMPLE: $3.50 buy in tournament for 3,000 chips. Usually 100 players. Late reg is 2 hours. Tournament normally lasts 5 hours. 1st prize is $170. Do you think it is better to buy 9000 chips for $10.50 and cash 3 times as often? Or buy 3000 chips for $3.50 and have 3 times the amount of opportunities to cash.
Extra 6000 chips is an advantage at the start, but halfway into tournament average stack is about 50,000 and your 6,000 chips for $7 seems a waste.
