I would prefer to see the rebuy broken into four optional £25 chunks. These should then be considered "top ups" rather than "rebuys", and a top up (or multiple top ups) can be used at any time so long as topping up your stack does not take it over the max sit down of £100 (standard for any cash table with a max buy in).
This would take away any disadvantage of losing an early pot, and would allow players to keep stacks topped off at £100 (until they run out of top ups)
Agree that the final table should be based on the 8 most profitable players rather than the 8 biggest stacks in play.

No it should be the 8 biggest stack in play surely
The idea is to create a deep stacked cash game as I understand it. To do that you need the biggest stacks in play. Just give everybody the option to add on their unused rebuys at the end and its the same thing anyway. I like the idea of 4 top-ups btw.

If one person buys in for £100 and no top ups, and finishes with £349 (profit £249), then another player uses all tops so total buy in is £200, and he finishes with £350 (profit £150), and he finishes as the 8th biggest stack, do you believe it"s fair for him to go through to the final ahead of the guy with £349 but a much bigger profit? I take your point about needing as many chips in play on the final table as possible though

Fair point Rodders, but I think in most circumstances, the most profitable players will also be the biggest stacks. The discussion here seems to revolve areound the marginal stacks that may or not make the FT and surely the more profitable players deserve to go through, with the worst case scenario of £100 difference in potential chips on the final table (which is likely to be a small % overall)

Actually, I suspect it would be the other way round and *could* favour the volume of chips on the final table. eg If I were to get through to the final as one of the 8 most profitable players, I would almost certainly take the remaining top ups as addons..... this would therefore increase the chips in play on the final...... the less profitable player who has already used his top ups would not be able to put any more additional chips onto the final table.

Actually, you are probably correct. How annoying. ;D
