if u can survive til the add-on period whether u have many chips are not the add-on is usually double or sometimes even more than the rebuy, so i avoid most of the allin and sometimes register late get the addon and play the tourney, after the addon break there are no more rebuys so tourney tends to play the same as reg tourneys and with all the buyins and rebuys a lot is added to the pot, u wont b chip leader and usually around the middle or low end of stacks but still have enough chips to work with

Additional purchasing of chips at the beginning of Rebuy tournaments allows you to play a more aggressive pressing in the opponent's chips,also at this stage of the tournament is a very tough game all in as there is a possibility to enter the game again.

I play tournaments with rebuys as well as ordinary tournaments. Everything depends what at you bankroll and whether you are ready to pay many rebuys to remain in a game. Many play very aggressively because aren't afraid to lose. If lose all chips do rebuys. I play quietly, I don't risk because I have no opportunity to do many rebuys.

I'm sort of torn when it comes to rebuy tournaments. I actually prefer tournaments that do not have a rebuy/addon component to them, although I play some MTT's that have both. However, when I do, I am very selective. There are some freerolls out there that give you 1000 starting stack but then if you rebuy the rebuy is 3 to 4x the starting stack, which basically says dump your initial stack to get the rebuy chips. The one problem I see with these types of tournaments is that usually the cost to rebuy is too high, especially if you're playing with a small bankroll. Addiitionally, you have to figure out whether the rebuy is worth it. As an example, if you're in a 25.00 Freeroll but you can rebuy chips for a dollar, it may not be worth it in the long run because the dollar you spend to rebuy may be cost ineffective on the back end if the top 3 players receive an amount over the rebuy amount. If you know that your chances of finishing in the top 3 are slim them it doesn't pay to rebuy. There are several of these tournaments out there on various sights that it's really not worth the time and effort to play them in the long run. That's just my opinion.

I think R/A loosens up the general play because if the bluff or hero call loses there is another stack available, something like a cash game. I would not go into it with the intent to rebuy because that is planning to lose, but depending on the situation I may buyin in again. For addons I use them if I am short stacked to maintain fold equity, but with a larger stack the few extra bbs are not much.

As for me it is better to do once the rebuy tournament and did not re-buy and add-on to do if the stack is not more than 2 starting stack and play as Freezeout! And what about the tournament, in rebuy tournaments can be big Streaky, so you need to have a conservative bankroll...

I play these tournaments normally like other tournaments .I dont play more aggressively like most players do in this format. But you always have a second chance If you have a bad beat or you can call with your intutions some times because you know yo can rebuy even if you lose . So you can play more freely.Well, as the name suggests, I am writing to ask what you think of these types of tournaments.
What strikes me is that there are enough people who just start beginning to buy more chips, What opinais of this strategy? My in principle I do not think the right thing ...
Can anyone advise me about how to play these tournaments with so many buybacks?
Thank you very much!!!
