$2r to a $33r??

[RutgersKev]

Whats the point in playing in this thing? A person without a bankroll would be at a major disadvantage in a $33 tournament since they couldn't afford very many R+A's.

What am I missing?

1. you don't have to use the W$ for that specific re-buy.
you can use it for any 'special' event tourney.

If you win a couple of things then you have your re-buy if you want.

2. Some people don't care that they're at a major disadvantage. They just want to try to qualify for cheap.
Stars had mentioned some guy who qualified for the WSOP last year for only $4 via that route.

Obviously if you don't think it's worth it then you don't play it.
