I know, i didnt realize this would be a rebuy/add on tournament. I'm not going to do either...hopefully i get slapped in the face with the deck to build a stack.

Falker

[Falker11]

T2230, dropped a little when i had to let go of KK to and Ace flop.

No rebuys of Add ons for me..wayy too expensive...i can not believe they charge 20 rake for each rb and ao

Anyway, the overlay's looking nice...

[Gamblor]

[Seether]

[Gamblor]

Never been more card dead in my life.

Table 6, T6975, uberstaller jmchaplain giving us 25 hands per level.

[MicroBob]

I didn't play in it because I was unable. Just checking in to see how the overlay was. I have 2 freerolls for this so I guess I'll have a buy-in and a re-buy when I finally am able to fit one in my schedule.


I am just surprised that nobody mentioned that the re-buys and add-ons in these are more of a rip-off because of the +20 that they charge each time (as opposed to Stars where they just have the EF on the initial buy-in and not any re-buys).

With that in mind I think one can strongly consider NOT taking a re-buy or add-on.

Since you start with 1000 and the add-on is 1500 I will probably just do that with my 2 free-rolls (and not take any re-buys in the first hour).


The general point that these don't play like 'normal' re-buys definitely applies.
Have noticed the same in the Sunday night $50k guaranteed's which are also now re-buys where MANY players are not re-buying.
