WSOP 1k w/ rebuys...expert strategy

[Nomar]

tomorrows event @ WSOP is 1k w/ rebuys, 1k chips to start, rebuy w/ 1k or less in chips, single or double add-on after 2nd round, 60 min rounds...

whats the best strategy...

my thought process is, rebuy before 1st hand giving myself 2k in chips, and play somewhat snug looking for a good spot to double during 1st 2 rounds, then doing a double add-on after the rebuy period is over...

any thoughts...

This should be good. Assuming you're at a skill disadvantage to the field, I'm not sure that rebuying if you bust during the rebuy period makes a ton of sense.

[Nomar]

I was planning on double rebuying if I busted during 1st 2 rounds, if I felt the table was somewhat favorable...

Given the state of things these days, if he's a dog to the field, he has bigger problems than whether to make a rebuy.

Now, his particular table might be another story.

rebought before 1st hand, rocked out for a while, picked a few spots and built my stack to 6k by the end of the rebuy period...opted to not addon

cashed in the event, but didnt make day 2 ...

Rebought right away, worked the 2K up to 7500. Wasn't going to add-on but, with a nudge from some friends, decided to last minute. 2K for 2K in chips. 9500 at first break..

Hours 3 and 4 were a rollercoaster, and I got as low as 2500 in chips. Had 30K by dinner break. Going into day 2 as chip leader.

Excuse the self-promotion,

did you make your investment back?

I always take the add-on believing I need every advantage to get to the final table, but then, it's never cost me a grand before to do it - [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
