A question concerning addons

Fossilman's rule says you should figure out what an average stack will be once everyone is in the money, and if you have less than that, you should take the add-on.

I don't know if this can be proven but it seems to me that it's at least in the ballpark. Assuming the add-on gives you more chips than a standard rebuy, it takes a very unusual set of circumstances for it to be a bad investment.

Chip counts. All 16 players spent $50 for entry which was 3,000 chips and another $40 for 4,000 more chips. 7,000 chips times the 16 players gives us 112,000 total chips. I remember them counting at the end of tournament to make sure everything was legit, and the count was I think 163,000 total, which makes sense w/ the rebuys.

So by those standards in the money average stack is a little over 50k, so at 21k I am nowhere near that, yet alone the 17k I was at. Raymer seems like a standup guy to me, so I guess its an easy rebuy.
