Interesting side note: I watched one guy put in 9 rebuys in the first 14 hands before he finally hit some hands and found himself with a big stack. He then added an add-on at the break thus spending $101 in an attempt to beat out 90 people for 5 spots worth $530. He only lasted 5 minutes longer than I did (27th). Does anyone else think this is nuts?

Also, is it accepted add-on wisdom to buy a 1500 add-on when you already have a 15000+ stack? This seems like a total waste to me and yet I see it all the time.

I always take the add-on. A chip is a chip is a chip. no? I'm not a big tourney theorist but it seems like you are at a a fairly big disadvantage if you don't add-on, i guess unless its a turbo where the stacks to blind ratio is already super high and another 1500 isn't going to change much.

I guess if you can get a seat spending 200 on rebuy tourneys then its +ev. BUt ya, I usually set a limit on the number of rebuys I'll do and its less then 10 [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
