I always line up with 3 buy ins - the first entry, one rebuy, and an add on. I certainly never go crazy and use as many as 10 buy ins - I prefer to play the other side of the equation and take advantage of those who do.

Seriously though, how often do you go into the freezeout period with a significantly smaller stack than many other players?
I used to go for the minimum expense route - and all too often found I was hamstrung come the freezeout period.

Rarely. I just wait for the big hands and play them fast looking for a double or treble up..... if I lose, I"m out and go to the cash tables.
In the last APAT round of satellites, I took a double buy in, and turned the 5000 chips into 29k at the end of the rebuy period and was chip leader. If my 45o (massive hand) had not held up so well early on, I would have left (ok probably not in an APAT sat rather than a standard cash sat - of course I would have chased the buyins)

Generally I play rebuys with the registration, scope for one rebuy and the add on.
If I make it to the freezeout period I generally have within 10-15% of the average stack (above or below)
If you budget for 10 rebuys you might reach the freezeout period more often -but if you budget for a few you make more money when you do.
I think rebuys promote poor play that"s why I don"t like them. You might be able to call all in with J7os cards because you"re not likely to be that much of a dog and you can always just rebuy - doesn"t make it good poker though.
