      In Re-buy if the cost is low they just push all in until they have a reasonable chip size, then play properly. The starting is really aggressive.

      Pretty much the same except in 3x turbos when you start pushing any two to get a stack

      You might know this already but also keep in mind that your BR must be bigger when playing re-buys.

      Just my 2c :D

      Well atm my br is around $180 and i've tryed a couple $1.1 rebuy tournys, first one i tryed, didnt need to rebuy, but did an addon for 5k after the rebuy epriod, which left me with 2x tourny average, then I ended up coming in at 225 pays top 216 $10.5 :(

      I have about 160 buyins for the rebuy's i'm trying out, which I think is super tight BRM, considering I play 25BI's on cashgames and about 50BI @ HU Hypers :D

      Hi again,

      If you are playing $1.1 rebuys you should treat the tournament value as $3.30. Your buy-in + rebuy + addon. So the tournament will cost you $3.30 to enter. Tournament BRM is normally 100 BIs (depending on average field size)

      So technically, you are under-rolled for rebuy tournaments as you would preferably need $330 to play these games sufficiently.


      Kind regards,
      Gary

      You don't know that before you start playing. So you calculate both of them in I guess.

      If we knew we were going to win then we wouldn't stick to the 25BI rule.

      Well I don't play tourneys myself, but what I've read is that there is a lot of aggression in those rebuys. So I guess if you play a rebuy it's wrong to think you'll never use the rebuy or add on. If you don't want to use it, just go play a regular MTT. I might be wrong though, but thats just my thoughts.
