Personally I hate "em for all the obvious reasons. But I played the re buy into the APAT on line national last week, I didn"t re buy or add on and got quite deep, but some players re bought half a dozen times! I actually enjoyed the event, as it certainly was action packed!  A different set of strategies are definitely required.

Thats like saying "I hate playing poker unless I win", lol.

Swinebag:
firstly, if you are playing a rebuy as a single bullet then you are not really playing within your bankroll. You should allow for up to 10 buyins.

However, if you do go down the "single bullet" route and you can survive the rebuy period intact, then these tourneys turn into deepstacks with great value.

Chipaccrual:
Rebuy"s certainly have their place in the poker world.  The OP was specifically asking the question about the validity of a rebuy satellite into the APAT live National events.

That"s quite a complex question.  It really depends on your thoughts on getting a seat for these events.  As we all know, the demand outweighs the demand, and long may that continue, otherwise what"s the point in holding the events ?

The way the current satellites work :-

$20 FO - 1 seat for every 7.5 players
$10 FO - 1 seat for every 15 players
$5 rebuy - 1 seat for every $150 in the prizepool

Now, if no-one rebought or added on then thats 1 seat for every 30 players, which in my opinion is ridiculous odds.

The first rebuy satellite for the UK saw the following stats :-

125 Buy-Ins
296 Rebuys & Add-Ons

Total Prizepool = $2,105
14 Seats + $5 for 15th

That"s an average spend of $16.84 per player
And 1 seat for every 9 players

If my bankroll meant that I didn"t want to rebuy and add-on, then I would be quite happy for others to increase the pot and hope that I can play premium in the first hour and build a stack.


It would be interesting to know how the players in the satellites answer this question :-


Why do you play the satellites ?

[ ] Because my bankroll won"t stretch to a £75 buy-in event without satelliting in
[ ] I could buy-in direct, but I want to try and guarantee a seat before the clickfest

I don"t know where the majority lie, but at a guess, I would say it"s the second answer (I might be wrong)

It is a tricky one though to get the balance right for gaining a seat in the National events.

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.
