Re: A Rebuy ? for Math Majors
You shouldn't even consider ROI when thinking about poker tournaments: that just leads to bad decisions.

Re: **Official Stars 100K added**
Adanthar, that seems like a strange reason for passing up a tournament with negative rake.
The tournament is effectively $553-23 rather than $500+30.
