Re: Which has the higher EV at Stars?
there are some horrid, absolutely horrid players in $5 events with no rebuy and $3 events with NO rake..
Why aren't THOSE the best deals ever? I've played plenty of them... I cut my tourney teeth on them... I've never won one, or come close to a final table.

[ QUOTE ] I think the overlay in the $10 rebuy is about as good as it gets... [/ QUOTE ] is this because there's only $1 of rake?? Seriously... I hate rebuy events (i just don't like the concept of busting and getting back in) and I don't do well at them AND there's tons of players.... Why are these so great? [/ QUOTE ] Because there are players who make 15-20 rebuys. Because 1/4 of the field is gone before you can even *possibly* be eliminated assuming you are always rebuying when you bust. Because you get a ton of play with all those chips. Pretty much because I think that there are more bad players (or good players playing badly) who you can double up off of relatively easily.

That's my reason, anyway.

Re: Which has the higher EV at Stars?
Dentist,
I love this tournament because I get so much play out of it for $31 (usually). When the rebuy period ends, there are a ton of chips in play. THe blinds don't become relavent for several hours usually, so for me trying to learn the game it was great experience. The downside is the crazies (some of them) come out of the rebuy period with 30K in chips, while I usually have 7K and thats a lot to overcome, but you can go relatively deep fairly often.

Re: Which has the higher EV at Stars?
People who play in the $10 rebuy on stars, any idea what your hourly rate on that is? A rough ballpark estimate?

Re: Which has the higher EV at Stars?
I haven't calculated it in a while, but it was $133.71/hour for my first 22 attempts. I'm over 40 attempts now, but I have won only slightly less during the last 20 than I did during the first 22 so I'm guessing somewhere between $110 and $125/hour after 40+ efforts.
Later, Che

Re: Which has the higher EV at Stars?
David,
I exclusively play at Party now, but I started at Stars. My friend reminded me of the WCOOP and I figured I'd play some sit-n-go's for the hell of it. So I dusted off my account and played sit-n-go's for the $500 NLHE on Sunday. Since I try to play in these satellites for the big ones on Party, I figured I'd do the same at Stars. Between getting the extra chips (T1500 vs. T800 at Party) and the blinds going up so much slower, I really felt a huge edge increase for me. Bottom line, I finished 2nd last night, and won my seat tonight. If you're used to playing Party sit-n-go's, definitely give the Stars ones a shot.
