It has been clearly shown that the fewer chips you have the more they are worth to you. [/ QUOTE ] I agree with that, at least in theory, but this effect is very small at the start of the tournament. At the start of a tournament, chip value is close to linear. [ QUOTE ] Therefore, the immediate rebuy is a rip off since you are buying chips worth less at the same cost as your initial buy-in. [/ QUOTE ] No, that doesn't follow. In a PokerStars $10+$1 rebuy tournament, I might expect to get back about $30 for my initial $11. From the immediate $10 rebuy, I expect to get less than $30, but much more than $10. It still looks like a good deal. Rebuying immediately makes sense for a good player because there are so many wild players, and you want to have the maniacs covered. See this example. |

[/ QUOTE ] I hadn't thought of that. I don't play many MTTs and I was posting my impression on what I thought was the consensus. Thanks for clearing up that misconception. |

OK, I see the value of taking the initial rebuy, and similar logic for the addon. But the bustout rebuy .. surely I have more equity with 3000 chips in a newly starting rebuy (assuming other players play the same way as they do in this one) than in one where the blinds have increased? The only difference between the two tournaments prize pool-wise is that the one I'm currently in would have my initial buyin. The pools are the same other than that.
Or is this just about saving your time? It will take less time to make the money halfway thourgh the rebuy period than it does at the start... that's only 1/2 hour though. Rahul |

So how would you change your strategy in a larger rebuy tournament? Say the 250+20 on empire this sunday? I won a seat and don't know what to expect.
