[Scuba Chuck]

Is there an amount, whether it be a ratio or otherwise, that you would not consider paying for the addon?

Assume this is the $11r for the $500k entry.

My thoughts are if I have slightly more than 1000 chips near the end of the rebuy period, you can do one of two things.

1) Huck your chips in the middle and hope to double up
2) Huck an amount of chips in the middle so that I have exactly 1000 chips so that I can rebuy.

Anyhow, it almost seems worthless to have less than 3500 chips after the rebuy period. Perhaps I need to figure out a time where need to recognize my sunk cost is not worth chasing.
