Re: When NOT to add on?
Seems that looking to see the chip count when in the money is meaningless.
If when u buy those extra chips but you're not going to be able to put them to use for a long while, then the purchase seems meaningless.
For example: At break: avg stack is 5k (assume 7.5k after addon), you have 22k. no one else at your table has over 7k. It will be a long, long while before those extra 2500 you buy will be able to be put in a pot.
Essentially someone has to double up TWICE, AND get in an all-in pot with you, or you're going to have to wait SEVERAL blind levels before those chips can enter a pot. seems meaningless to me to do the buy here, regardless where the avg stack will be at ITM-time.
