Add-on question

[Lloyd]

I have no clue what you're asking in terms of stack size and money invested. If you're playing after the add-on period, add-on. Period. This has been reviewed many times before and it would take an incredibly HUGE stack to make the add-on not worth it. And when I say HUGE I mean there's really no way you'll have a stack so big that you shouldn't add-on.

Ok, at this point, i get you are saying that adding on is pos EV. I get that.

But, my initial question is if it has anything to do with money invested. Does it have anything to do with whether you should add on or not??

Moddy, please just dont tell me that adding on is pos EV in almost all situations. I think i get that---no wait! I definitely get that.

Money invested has nothing at all to do with wether you should add on or not.

It has nothing to do with how much money you've already "invested". It's all about the value that the additional chips bring to you. You're focusing more on ROI in that specific tourney when your goal should be maximizing value (make as much money as possible in real $s, not %s). By doing so, your long-term ROI (which is a key figure) will not be maximized.

Deleted search reference as I am too slow to see that OP was referencing a sat.

But in a sat. situation, your maximization of $ doesnt matter. All that matters is if you make the seat or not.

This is different than a standard rebuy tournament due to the flat pay out.

I think this is what he is slowly getting at.





My answer then to the original post is if you think you can sit-out to a seat without playing another hand, don't add on. Otherwise, insta-add-on.

I understand. Principle stays the same. You still have to be an unusually monstrous stack to not take the add-on. And you're still trying to maximize $ won. If not taking the add-on hurts your chances of getting the seat (which it does) the focus is more on ROI then $.
