Besides the fact that you don't rebuy or add-on at all Gavinski, I play similar to that manner. I've had much recent success at the $10R at 10:30AM ET on Full Tilt. I've placed in two, taking second in one of them. I played pretty much similar in all of them. I don't add-on immediatly, I just start with my 1500 chips.. I sit ery patiently, waiting for monsters or looking to bust someone with suited connectors. I am definitly not afraid to all my chips in, but I know I have the winning hand when I do. People play extremely loose in the beginning where I seem like a rock, so when the blinds get somewhat big.. I make a raise in position and they are folding to me no problem.
I usually am sitting at around 3-4K at break and add-on to make it 5-6K. That is about average stack then. This is when my tournament game really kicks in and I take advantage of all these rebuyers with a BR, but not much skill. I play my normal game, still being cautious, but showing winning hands. I like to make the raise wh... | | Read Entire Entry |

Contray to alot of poker texts/articles etc, I try not to rebuy and addon if possible.
I played in a MTT tournament at the casino the other week, £10 rebuys. I did not rebuy or addon, and was unlucky to come 3rd (AKs s KQos PF).
I found in said tournament, I played extremely tight (in the first hour) and waited til I had a monster. When I did I would get paid off with a double or triple up from the people intending to rebuy.
I know this strategy isn't advised, but it worked nicely for me.

read eric lindgren's book, it has a section for rebuys. if you have the bankroll it is worth it to continue rebuying, based your going for the W. And yes it is all in early on he mentions, and gives strategys for playing rebuys early and building a stack. I think it's a good read. Mentioned one of his friends one a big rebuy, and in the end he was the guy who rebought the most. Considering he won it was well worth the investment.

ya i dont play them alot but when u enter a rebuy i read in a book have enough BR to cover initial cost 2 rebuys and an Add on. Or as many as u want to rebuy. Alot of people addon at the beginning so they have potential to win more chips.

when playing in freerolls, then I would say rebuys is stupid for obvious reasons. There's "cruise mania" at ladbrokes that is a freeroll, and it has rebuys, the only money the price pool has is the money that comes from those who buy themselves back in, I'd say u should try to bluff less in a rebuy tourney since people will take alot of chances, unless u planning on doing it urself

I think rebuys are good from the beginging. They might make the game more expensive, but if you have a great hand and someone goes all in you have more money to call with can double up more.

The players who get an immediate addon are planning on playing aggressively. I play my normal tournament style in rebuys, I just look at it like I have a shot to get back in if I make a mistake. I almost always addon after the first hour as long as I am playing well. The problem with rebuys is some players will fire with reckless abandon the first hour because they know they can just reload with more chips! The good part about that is if you play correctly your big hands will get paid off much more often!

I havn't really played enough rebuy tournaments to know a good strategy on them.
From what I have read though, its a personal preference, some people prefer to take the addon as soon as they can others like to wait.

When playing at my local casino in NL holdem turny ($22 800 chips), rebuys are available ($10 for 500 chips as long as you have under 1001 chips for the first to rounds (15 min each). So do you think its better to get a rebuy right away and start with more chips or just play your 800 and if you bust out buy1500 more for $30. Personaly i like to play with the 800 and rebuy if i bust out but most people do not. What would you do?
