Great thread. I can see both Lori's and William's points here and they have been both well spoken. I tend to fall in the middle. I don't take the auto rebuy but have no problem rebuying if I lose more than 20% of my original stack. I also tend to add on if my chips are just a little above average or below. I also don't add on if the add on wont take me at least close to average. If I am that short stacked it is -EV for me to throw another buy in toward it. The added EV of being a larger stack after the rebuy period is important to me based on my strengths ( and weaknesses ) as a player. I don't want to be scrambling through the middle limits of a tourney looking to double up with just a premium hand. The extra $ spent is an ivestment in my ability to steal at any opportunity.
