I think Tournaments should be ONE BUYIN!!

[hffjd2000]

Those with much bankroll will love rebuy/add-on while those with limited Bankroll have to select freezeout.

 

[theRaven68]

i disagree. i think rebuy and multi entry tournaments should exist just like freezout tournaments with only one entry aswell. its your choice whether you like to play a tournament with re entries or not.

i agree because it is an option and its players choice is he going to play or not.
my choice is not to play rebuys and/or multi entries

 

[veltins]

i hate rebuys , but ya it does give Advantage to better Players with gd br as they can win massive Chips from donks who goes allin every single Hand with any shit hands as well .

 

[donkcentralFF]

I tend to agree with you, but than I think if I had a bunch of money promised out in a GTD and I was running a poker site.... I would allow rebuys because I would rather not just give out a ton of money for free lol

 

[VlNikopro]

i like tournament with rebuys, but only 2x-turbo
where the addon equal 2*normal stack

 

[negreti]

exactly, it has much more maniacs in rebuy tournament
I HATE REBUY

Depending on what kind of an entrance fee.

i think that all structures of tourney's are good and have to be treated with different strategies for what they are. like somebody said before me if you dont like the format find ones that you do like and play those lol. now i have to admit there are structures i will stay away from or at least play a lot less than others. yup what ever happened to the good ol freeze out tourneys lol? i guess sng tourneys is the way to go ------- oops i see there are rebuy and re-entry sngs now well there goes that thought lmao. i guess bottom line is we can only play what is offered. so what is offered and what will be offered will be what the house feels makes them the most money after all thats business.

I don't mind different types of tournaments as much as I HATE being one of 38 people registered on time for a Guaranteed prize MTT only to have it finish with +1250 and 3 hours of late registration. 1R/A are actually the closest to the new freezeout. I think if you late register you should have a blinded stack.

Why?

You are basically getting mad at people for sacrificing ROI to you (assuming you are a winning player, which is a big assumption given this response) and juicing the prize pool.


Why do you hate that?

 

[captainD]

Stick to freezeouts.

 

[AtiFCOD]

What are your thoughts on this?

Many tournaments are rebuy/addon ones. They cost at least 3x the buy in. You have to calculate it, that's all. At the beginning players play loose, there's much more chance to get big stack at the beginning then in a freezout. So just try some of these and you will see it's fun to play in R/A tourneys.

Because it is constantly ruining the table dynamic at critical points of the tournament. If I'm seated at a table with 35-45 bb and two late entries fall on my table with no other option than to shove I'm forced into decisions that could commit my whole stack when without those late entry gonzo's I have positioned myself to have a shot to win the whole thing. Without being forced to play my whole stack. And yes that's a very big assumption your making! Brick and mortar I'm up to a three year span of "none if your business" and online if you believe shark scope is accurate then go ahead and check me out. It says I'm a big fish

 

[Fussy]

For the most part they are, but some times it does make sense if it is a re-buy for example if they have a big prize guaranteed and the numbers of players doesn't add up to the prize is a situation where a rebuy can make up for the remaining prize pool

 

[ScooperNova]

What are your thoughts on this?

I nearly agree, in the sense that one buy in tournaments are more pure. Win or go home is the gold standard, that's why the Main Event doesn't have rebuys. I feel like the single buy tournament is a greater test of skill, I'm sure there have been books written about it.

Still new to a lot of the online sites. I have not formed a solid opinion yet. I have found that the freeze out tournies seem to be an advantage to me knowing there is a finite group of players and my tactics are more defined. Whereas the add on and rebuy tournies give each of us a chance to pick up a few more chips. With my limited br I will treat them as a freeze out anyway and move on. The late entry has me on the fence. As they enter that adds to the prize pool doesn't it? Prize amount changes with the addition of player buy ins. Also I have seen that there is a min / max player for each tourney. There has been times I wanted to enter a tourney but the max had been reached.When the max is so high then a time limit comes into play I'm sure (when a site has less traffic). Maybe someone could explain how the time limits are set. Looking forward to other responses to an interesting topic. tks--r

Ok, so you're a fish....not my problem.


If you cannot adjust to SS all ins, you aren't a skilled poker player, period.

Also, which online tournaments are you in a position to win before the end of registration?

 

[ScooperNova]

I hate any more than one rebuy for sure. Add ons always suck in my opinion except when they are for live dealer tips.

Without re-entries on sites like carbon the prize pool's would be cut drastically.

For sure. I think the point in this thread is that the more rebuys, the less skill to win. Some people would rather play poker for less money than bingo for more.

You can play these for less money and NOT bingo.

Can you get the rest of the field to do this as well?

 

[tbdbitl]

You could try. But, I think adjusting your play might be an easier task!

 

[rhombus]

different skills involved, if you are properly bankrolled and can handle the variance it doesnt have to be bingo.

Sure you will get alot of bad beats but in the long run they can be quite profitable
