I just dont undertsand how that can be fun poker @ £10 a shot.. I was lucky locally there was a £5 re-buy which meant you could easily afford £30 and have 6 buy ins, but how can anyone learn or play poker when its like that..
Thank god for APAT leading the way. Virgin"s tournament on the weekend was exactly the same minus the 150/300 level and u know what, it was fine, but its the way people want to play..
Virgin for next APAT sponsors IMO.. ;)

Just a different game with adjustment required. Treat a £10 rebuy the same as £100 f/o in bank roll terms. There was a good thread on rebuys on this forum a while back, explaining that you can get some good deep stack play after the addon break and that in some ways the skill required to TID is higher due to a bigger range of stacks you get compared to a freezeout
I personally dont like rebuys, but that is because i cant afford them

The re buy on the friday is £10.You only get 500 chips and re buys are for 2 hours i think.Its very loose and not my cup of tea,saying that there should be good numbers with the apat event the next day and a good prize pool.

And that"s where the argument falls down about skill - a lot of them end up not being about who"s the best, but who has the deepest pockets and who gets lucky.
Once you get to the freezeout stage, if you have got lucky in the rebuy stage, you can use superior skill to win.
But you shouldn"t have to rely on getting an hour (or however long the rebuy period is) of luck before you can start playing properly. As the skill only comes in to play when you reach the freezeout stage - how can this not always be worse than a tournament which is a freezeout all the way through?
You may have guessed - I don"t like the whole concept of rebuy tournaments.
hi_am_chris:
If maniacs want to shove in with anything and juice up the prize pool for an hour thats fine by me
