How many "Rebuys" would you make in an online tournament before giving up?

[Lupus]

My max rebuy is usually 3.
But i rarely do more than one.
I like to go the one and done route but coolers and bad beats happen. When it does i may do a rebuy or two

For me, rebuys are not allowed. After all, this is beyond the scope of my bankroll management.

 

[Whompus]

I Don't spend over 50% of what I can win. But most of the time 3 rebuys and 1 add on if it's available Is all I'm willing to spend on one tournament. Depending on the tournament of course.

 

[Raphael Zabel]

I don't usually do rebuys, only in big tournaments with a high prize pool and low buy-in I can do one or two.

 

[mina271]

Depends entirely on the tournament I'm playing but generally I don't rebuy. But there are always exceptions where I try it maybe 1 or 2 times, but it depends on how far I'm in the tournament and how much I like playing the tournament. Generally if I lose all my chips then I leave the tournament because then I just wasn't good enough and it doesn't help me if I do several rebuys

 

[SopianaeExtra]

Zero. Because by the time I get busted, the initial amount of chips I'd receive again would be pitiful and chances are very high I would just double down on my first failure. The perfect recipe for a ruined day, if you ask me.

 

[Alizona]

I never re-enter. There's always another tournament later or tomorrow or next week.

Right or wrong, I just don't ever want to throw good money at bad results. If my first attempt doesn't go the way I want it to, I can deal with that - it's just poker... but if I drop 2 or 3 or more buy-ins and bust them all, I'll likely feel a bit depressed even tho that's a terrible approach to the game. But I know my own psychology and this is my solution to it. I take my one shot, and it either works out or it doesn't. Either way, I'll be right back at it the next time, and my bankroll will still be intact.

Depends on Buy in

Depending on the value of the Buyin I do it up to 3 times.

 

[Acadien07]

Not more than one !

Ideally don’t like any at all unless it’s the start of the tournament I might do one re -buy if it’s a low amount! If it’s late in the tournament I don’t re-buy blinds are to high and just a call would take all your chips!

 

[StressMit]

It really depends how deep you have gotten. Too early is just like giving money away.

 

[YuriDitz]

I don't usually make rebuy. But I can make exception if I get knocked out at the beginning of a tournament.

 

[TomCj]

Not worth it

Personally, I never rebuy in a tourney

You have no better chance to win on a rebuy
than you have at the beginning of the game

and you are still going to be up against the larger stacks

Occasionally the cards may turn in your favor,
but usually, if you haven't been able
to build your stack through skill and/or luck in a particular tourney,
then a rebuy is not going to give you any great advantage

why throw more money into the pot trying to "catch up"

I would rather save my money for another game

 

[CryptoBlood]

I think that you are right I am also not buying any rebuy because of that.There was option for rebuy in one site which I use but if I rebuy I would get 6000 chips but average amount of chips per player is about 10000 chips so that is not making sense when I am playing turbo tournament even in other type of tournaments.

 

[Ac3 Meister]

The question is a bit wrong put. I think one should judge by readind the tournament overall play before rebuying. If the average stack is almost double or more than your starting stack and the tournament is at the begining i would definetly call it a day. I remeber one day i was playing a big tournament and made a rebuy.I never made it far.

 

[franken222]

My answer is 0. If I can't make it on one entry fee, I refuse to throw any more money into it.
The same with "add-ons".

I will only do it, if getting into the money will show me a profit. and I've got to be very close to that point.

I'm even considering discontinuing entering bounty tournaments of poker stars. If you don't make a bounty, but barely get into the money, you don't make your buy-in back.

 

[Genep66]

0 rebuys. If I lose my chip stack then it usually means that I’m not getting the cards or not playing well

 

[mariale_1990]

I usually don't rebuy, I've only rebuyed 1 or 2 times, but I don't like to rebuy, I think it will depend on how that person's game is, for example if you don't get anything right during the whole tournament I don't see the need for you to invest But in a tournament where nothing is going well, also if the tournament is quite advanced and the blinds are very high, I don't see the need to risk either.
