I play alot of the $4 and $8 2r 1a tourneys and was wondering if you all think its optimal to take the two rebuys up front? or just take one rebuy and save yourself the other one in case variance decides to pay you a visit?

I'd take both right away, you'll curse yourself if you miss an opportunity to stack someone for a mirrion bb's (most peeps take the full stack right away)

So seems like the benefits of these toyrney type are:

1. The rake (more Buy ins with no rake added in the price pool)

2. The fish throwing away stacks because of the rebuy.

Right?

ALWAYS rebuy as much as possible. We want biggest stack possible….if you rebuy twice and start with a huge stack, you are NOT going to bust by the rebuy period most of the time….donks are gonna stack off to you. We are confident in our abilities and not scared of busting laugh

Theres a good vid by BigDog where one of his tables is rebuy and he discusses his tactics – he takes rebuy at start, tries to see as many cheap flops as poss, knowing when you hit em hard the villain will get it in light cos he knows he can rebuy. Also be keen to get invloved with bigstacks so you can double up your double stack.

Back to normal play once rebuy period over….

I'm pretty sure we should be taking add on everytime unless we is super small, or super super bigstacked….. Agreed folks?

Should really see the buyin to these being 3x actual buyin.

Heard somewhere that you should double rebuy at start (and add-on) if you think you have a skill edge, if you dont think you have skill edge then you shoudlnt be playing! Not that helpful if youre just learning, but maybe drop down to a level where your bankroll is comfortable buying in for 3x….

I'd agree with your summary of benefits…

Always take it in the beginning of a 1r1a or 2r1a.

Bigdog's limp every hand strat is only good for unlimited rebuys. Don't do it in a cubed or quad because you can't get those chips back.

Always add-on.

If I play a rebuy, I always have the biggest stack I can get and always rebuy.

FWIW – Not continuing to rebuy and / or not adding on is the definition of dead money.

I regularly play in one of stars 1R1A and I always rebuy @ the start and then always add on during add on period….. You're @ a disadvantage if you don't…….. If you're concerned you might lose your stack early on, then enter the tourney just before the end of the rebuy period.

You end up with a deepstack and if you happen to win a nice pot during the rebuy period then you're set for the mid stages.

Yeah – don't be concerned with busting. There's like 80000000 other tournaments to play. You get an actual advantage in a 1r1a because not everyone rebuys or add-ons, so they will dump money into the tournament in most cases and make things more profitable for you.
