Re-Entry or No Re-Entry, that is the question

This argument for having a single re-entry is exactly the same argument as for having rebuys.

Absolutely disagree. I think a single re-entry is a very different animal than a re-buy event.
Everyone knows that with a re-buy you have to have two or three nature pull-ups going in.
With a single re-entry you have the option of mitigating the variance of the whole weekend being wasted.
As I mentioned above, I am no great lover of re-entries as a rule but in this limited set of circumstances I can"t see a real downside.

I would agree with one re-entry but only in the circumstances of really bad luck namely:
the standard APAT first level hand of KK v AA where all the chips will get in the pot whatever way, or
AA gets busted when all the chips are in pre
Anything else is just rewarding sloppy play with a second chance, and I certainly wouldn"t agree with a re-entry for "lack of judgement".
Also any re-entry would go to the bottom of the alternate list as per Ger"s post

Can"t see this working as deciding on levels of bad luck that should apply would be, for all intents and purposes, impossible.
dwh103:
Rebuy = You"re sat at the same table, you don"t leave your seat.
Re-Entry = You get up, join the back of the queue for entries. If you do get in, it"s on a different table.
Very different, and I"d be massively in favour. It would make little material difference to everyone, save giving someone on the wrong side of a cooler a chance to make something of a weekend away. And if someone wants to donate - more money in the prizepool. Those types are VERY welcome ;)

3. I also accept that some players may choose to use this facility, should it be offered, to play recklessly in the initial period, but would any of us actually notice if Scouse, Dan Owston or Stu Ward tried to take advantage of this?
