A Rebuy ? for Math Majors

Sorry if my post is not clear. I'm lookig for a formula that could be used to guide the investment. For example, a player like Ozzy87/BigSlick789 could rebuy 20x in the 10+1 for 200 and likely show a very healthy return on his investment.

Whereas the same player, with all due respect, rebuying @ that same rate, will likely show a substantial loss in 100 +9.


I am hoping to be able to plug in the data into an excel sheet and come up with a general guide line to rebuy purchases. Any clearer now??? Please let me know. T

[/ QUOTE ] The number of times you rebuy is unimportant if you are planning on rebuying. The critical variable is how much time is left in the rebuy period.

Everytime you lose your stack, it is like you are starting anew. What you spent before doesn't matter--it's how much time you have left to build a competitive stack.

If you are a great player, perhaps one minute is enough. You are able to be profitable with only 3000 chips in your stack after the rebuy period.

If you are marginal, then you might need the whole 60 minutes for your investment to be profitable.
