Rebuys and the correct way to playing them?

I run so bad in rebuys it's not even funny man..I mean really rebuys are fun to play but what the hell is the correct way to playing them? The money is more for the lower price that your paying to play them (unless your playing those high stake rebuys), but if your like me playing the $1.10 rebuys than what would be the correct way to playing it...

I'm speaking in terms of early level, should I be willing to take more chances early on? I mean after the rebuy period ends you get the add on for a cool 30k stack, but I mean I usually want to have over at a minimum about 70k after the add..So my question is if players play like utter crap in them, and you run like utter crap in them, than wtf can you do to make that goal achievable? Since this one is a turbo rebuy the blinds increase at a much higher rate, that means the players take more chances to gamble early on, rather than later on, but the issue seems to be to make it to the later stages means you'd need to accumulate chips early on, while the binds are low..

So with crap for cards, what would be the best possible way to accumulate chips in-order to get a deep run in these games?



Or would it just be better to wait it out until the the early level messed up crap that happens in a rebuy ends and just join during the Add-on period? Which would be the better choice?


Obviously joining early on means you can accumulate chips at a higher pace (but you'd need to take more risks in-order to do that at the start as people just don't tend to fold for nothing).


Joining later on, has it's merits also as the really wild A.I plays are out (as if your knocked out after the add-on period), your out for good.

seeing how long you have been playing, i think you are playing the wrong opponents, there is noway u can win against beginners at stars, u should play higher buyins i think.
not a big fan of rebuys but when i play them i make sure i play like an idiot early on ( the only way that seems to get me deep in those)

Yet if you can't beat the beginners than there is no way you'll beat the better players, correct?

I try to avoid playing in tournaments with re-buys coz when i am loosing i can re-buy for more money than i could even win in that tournament, everything because of anger

Personally when I play rebuy I am fully aware of how loose people play in the rebuy period and I pretty much limit myself to one buy in and just focus on getting a double up from the reckless play of others and if they suck out, well you can always rebuy.

If your goal is to win the tourney then you must be prepared to play looser early on and also be prepared to re buy several times. if not don't play these.

I play the micro rebuys all the time. I try and wait to register until half the rebuy time has passed. That is, if late registration is 60 minutes, I wait to register after the first 30 minutes have passed.
I rebuy as soon as I get on the table. Usually, at this point I will have above average chips. Play tight! there are plenty of maniacs still in at this point who are willing to donate all their chips. When you get a premium hand, bet and one of those maniacs will shove. Usually they will have only starting chips, havingjust done a rebuy, so, you won't get knocked out if they suck out on you.
If I lose my chips, I will only rebuy once. No sense in paying more than you can win. So, if it's a $1.10 buy in the most I will spend is $5.10.
Make it to the add-on and do the add-on, regardless of how many chips you have. Play settles down tremendously after the add-on, and you can play your game.
Making the final table in these games can be fairly lucrative for the investment.

The purpose of the rebuy period is to accumulate as many chips as possible.

Even if you get stacked, you can still rebuy. And those chips are still on your table. You can win them back.

I would say play anything connected, suited, super duper wide range. If you connect with the flop, bet the be-geezes out of it. If you miss, fold.

Set a stop loss before you start the rebuy tournament. If you reach that, just don't rebuy anymore.

I have often re-bought 3-5 times, and ended up with a ton of chips by the time you can add on. I did this by just playing a wide range, and making offensive bets when I hit the flop.

So, to summarize:

Be prepared to rebuy. Don't play tight during rebuy period. Always add on (even if you are the chip leader). Set a stop loss, and follow it.

Rebuys are a lot of fun for me. I am a cash grinder. I get bored of playing tight. I can play like a total maniac in these rebuy tournaments, and it is OK.

Just sit back, and enjoy the ride. Tighten up after the add on period. I am talking night-and-day. Switch gears to TAG.

And also, there is obviously no "one size fits all" advice for poker. This is just how I play them. I have won a few of these micro rebuys.

The average entry ( buy- in)

Participate in a poker tournament has a registration fee . Unlike S & G , which start with some frequency, the tournaments are far apart in time . In addition , the buy-in of these are often different. For this reason it is difficult to calculate the average price of a tournament. Not need to make a buy in half, so that we can participate in our tournaments favorites, but do not leave out some upper and / or lower .

Example : Suppose we have the habit of playing the S & G 3 € (6 -max ) and banks have to do . If you start a tournament of 5 € or 2 € we could also point us , because despite having a ticket a little more or less the price of the tournament is not far from the average price we can afford with our bankroll.

Rule 100 - ABI

Generally, our funding should add a hundred times our standard input. If, for example , we dispute daily a tournament of 5 € , it would be advisable to have € 500 in our cashier . If we see that our bankroll begins to deteriorate, then we lower the standard price of our tickets .

This standard is based on freezeout tournaments ( with no rebuys ) . If we play tournaments with reruns , funds should be much higher. If, for example , participate in a tournament of € 5 rebuy , it is logical that we , at least , money for three repurchases and possible add-on . That is, 25 euros.

Changes in MTT :

The general thinking of the players leads them to believe that the primary goal is to sneak in a tournament between the winners. However, some jumps MTTs have important award , which carries only the top are really well paid. Of course , the first goal is to settle in the area of ITM , but only get balance our bankroll if , from time to time , we get a big fat check .

As we can see from the picture on the right , enter the Sunday Million prize just assumed we recover the initial entry . If we advance in the tournament prizes are increasing and already the winner final table can be up to 1,000 times the price of entry.

It may happen that always get into the money , but we remain stuck in the middle checks . It may also happen that do not charge for a while and suddenly , you get the " pin***** " we were expecting. In any case , the important thing is to think in the long run and not get caught in a single result . Who knows if , over a few months you get nothing , comes an important victory .

Satellites

Regardless of our bankroll , pokerstars offers the possibility to participate in any event very high their buy-in . The so-called satellite tournaments are a good opportunity to play that tournament as appetizing but, for lack of funds , not accessible. These satellites will permit, in small amounts , even with FPP 's, winning a seat in the biggest events of the room.
If you manage to qualify will be automatically registered for the event. If, for whatever reason , can not participate in the tournament , you can cancel your registration and PokerStars will refund you money in the form of tournaments. With these funds you can participate in as many games as you allow.

i usually fold everything or play cheap until the add -on. If see a weak opp or an A level hand ....it's for the bones...all of it

maybe life, but not online, go play cash at micros and see if you can win a hand.
you will get more suckouts than you can count.

In the case of playing a rebuy-tour I have two styles .
1. I start early in the tournament and donk around with every decent hand and if I hit I shove to double up early and build a big stack before the add on
2. I wait till the end of the rebuy period to start with the late registration and try to reach the add on phase . Normally I m small stack , but I can handle it very well.

I think the best strategy for these $1+R crazy turbos is to just register early, cause bad players are really strewing their chips in the beggining and they are usually knocked out quickly. And eventhough it can be little bit costly sometimes, I think one just have to be willing to gamble with them and play even in very marginal spots. At least I play those that way and it works pretty well so far.

I never rebuy because it puts me on tilt

Since they often play more loosely in rebuy tourneys, you can sometimes build up a big stack with your premium hands, and never have to rebuy at all

ITS THE SAME AS ANY OTHER TOURNY I THINK?

I WOULD TRY TO NOT BUY IN MORE THAN 2BUYINS AND 1 ADDON... ANYTHING MORE THAN THAT ISNT REALLY WORTH IT... UNLESS THERES A CRAZY OVERLAY..

Thank you all for the tips, I honestly found it very helpful and I'll do my best to actually use them

Rebuy tournaments are complicated ... If u are not prepared to make rebuys, will end up losing looses hands to get that many (or even hit). I think to play with and get good mãoes always strong, to try to bend and move away from the fish. Oh, if you double up, can you go throwing more quiet and cautious to try to do a good amount of chips to the add-on, where you check whether it is necessary to do so

rebuy is madness. so play acordingly. there is no strategy at the begining any card is good.

another good strategy for rebuys.... in my experience... is to not play the first hour since most the donks are gona be all donk-ie n shit.... and just buy in last second.. and catch the add on.....

it can be tricky tho since u will only have about 10-12 bbs... the way u gota play is all in or fold ..... wait for a good playable hand and slamjam that sucker... and cross ur fingers....

if you do happen to 2xup... which is more often then not... given u choose your hand wisely... you will have more than enough chips to grind tot he money...

Have 10x the buy-in ready to commit to R&A's. If the add-on is huge, consider very very late registration.
