Rebuy Strategy: Rebuy or start over?
 

You start a $5 rebuy tourney and immediately rebuy. Sometime during the rebuy period you get allin and lose. You notice there’s another $5 rebuy tourney starting in 5 minutes, so you now have 2 options:
1) Make a double rebuy and continue playing in the first tourney
2) Enter the second tourney and immediately rebuy when it starts

When, or under what conditions, would you be better off choosing option 2?

when rebuy period ends in 1 minute for #1.

jsut play both

If you had to chose between the two, the 2nd one is probably better because you'll be evenly stacked against the rest of the field, but you'll be shorter than average in the first one....

that's assuming everythign else is the same. And that you can only play one.

I know its not abig deal this early on in a tourney and given the fact you get moved around a lot, but I might stick to the 1st option if I liked the way my table was playing.

Re: Rebuy Strategy: Rebuy or start over?
 

Assuming you are a winning player against the fields in the two tourneys, It would EV+ in both situations, but #2 would be more EV as there is an opportunity cost equal to the time gone by in the first tourney where on average you would have increased you stack as a winning player.

Re: Rebuy Strategy: Rebuy or start over?
 

Depends on table conditions of the first table. If you feel it's a soft table, I'd stay. If you're having problems for whatever reason (bad cards, bad luck, tight table), I probably move to the other tournament.

Re: Rebuy Strategy: Rebuy or start over?
 

I think I would stay at the 1st one if I had to choose one or the other. As long as the table does not break, those chips are still there to be taken. You've added the chips to your table, and as a solid player so should be able to get them back post-rebuy.

Why has no one mentioned the number of people eliminated from the first tourney? This must be a factor.

But I agree with an earlier poster: just play both.

Re: Rebuy Strategy: Rebuy or start over?
 

the number of players eliminated has practically no effect on your EV until you are VERY close to the money

er i don't think this is true, when you're buying back into the tournament... you're comparing buying into a new tournament where all the stacks are the same, or buying into one where A) people have been accumulating already B) people have been eliminated so average stack is higher.

So buying into the one where you start with a below average stack doesn't make as much sense.
