Your views on Rebuy tournaments
lukybugur:
He was "stacking up" his opponents as he knew he was good enough to get those chips back when the rebuys ended. All he had to pray for was he wasn"t moved table early on - fortunately he wasn"t and was able to get a large percentage of the chips he"d bought back before going to other tables as a massive chip leader each time.
Must be nice to know you"re +EV against so many players :-\
kinboshi:
Hehe - rebuys are great fun.

did anybody else here the daniel negreanu rebuy story from the wsop from a few years ago......
apparantly he went bust and re-buyed a total of somthing like 27 times....but as soon as the re-buy period ended, he started playing properly,
( he had set the whole table up into thinking he was playing lke a maniac).
His table had more chips than any other table and he goes onto hit a few monster hands, and of course they start calling him down very lightly. He builds up a monster stack and goes on to comming 3rd overall.....he makes $70,000 profit, evan though he had to buy in 27 times.....
Now that is one of the best players thinking on another level.

That kind of proves my point.
Okay, he made profit in the end, but 27 rebuys just stupid, no?
It may of been his "tactic" to make it look like he was playing bad and yes, he got the last laugh, but like I say, its more like bingo sometimes.
If any of you have been to a gala casino for the £10 rebuy night then you will know what i"m talking about.. pre-flop pushes with J7o.. crazy **** like that.
I didn"t want for this thread to be based around me either, I meant it in general APAT terms, for all members. I am happy to take 2 bullets at a rebuy, but I just wanted a discussion of the structure in general. I do realise that there are two freezeout satellites also available and I know that if I dont like Rebuys, i should stfu and not play them etc.
Foggy:
it"s just another form of poker.........imo that it allows a LAG style that you cannot play in certain freezeouts with total maniacs who will call anything.

You should look at a rebuy and multiply the buy-in by 10. Then you"ll look at them a little differently.
