Games with re-buys an addons
« on: November 28, 2008, 02:27:23 AM »
Where to begin !!
As Moderators..  do the poker sites PUSH re-buys games ?? What is the upside for anyone ??  Will the Poker Sites not add $$$ if it,s not re-buy/addon. Does the Rebuy/Addon money always go into the payout Pot. ??

1 ...  IT TAKES TOO LONG ...  !!  Everyone rebuys the $1 for another starting 1K in chips before the 1st break. So Players have so many chips for 30/60 blinds to follow that the players have like 3 times the Max. buyin or 3k. Meanwhile the blinds are still really low. So why not see every flop with rags.  Case in point I was in an 11 player field that started at 6pm. But you know MERGE (so many sites) I had another game at 8PM. Come 8Pm even after a bad beat there is still 7 players of 11 after 2 hrs and I,m one of them. far too long.

2 .. Player Play.  It is totally loosened up by the weakest players knowing they have a 2nd or 3rd  chance with multi lives. Even the most solid players will let up and chase the River flush or str8. Players adapt or in my opinion get sukked in by these Re-Buy games. Can always buy back in if you miss but you can,t in a Freeze tourney.

3. Just my Peeve,,,  I worked hard building to 3k playing my cards close as always to accumulate 3k in chips from the starting stack of 1k by playing many small pots. Then this one DONK elimated re-buys 1K in chips and of course 1st hand back is ALL IN !! Now i didn,t have the cards but the players at 1k with J-Q were more than willing to gamble his TILT. This happened 4 times with 4 different players taking what I call almost Chip Dumps. Next i know I,m in 5th place and these grabass Donks are now pushing my Blinds with the chips they took off the 4 buy-in loser. This is why I hate Re-buys.

I could go on much longer with my RANT. lol  BUT if you do want to play these games. Sit tight and try to double up on the many ALL IN,s. 
Even if you re-buy for 1k more starting chips there are uually at least 4-5 players with very large stacks.

Let the cards do the talking

I do games with re-buys and like them it is just an other way to play the game!  No use getting upset since I see just as much donkeys in the games without re-buys!

I would never get into a game that's a low buy-in with re-buys, anything over $30 or 40 is usually not as bad as far as donkeys go. Just my 2 cents

I don't like playing re-buys.You get too many donkeys in it playing hands they shouldn't and getting lucky to win the pot.I don't see any sense in re-buying into any tourney unless you get knocked out by a bad beat with in the first couple off rounds.Than you can re-buy when the blinds are still low but don't understand why some players would re-buy and re-buy over and over and over again.I played in one re-buy where the buy in was $10 and re-buy was $10.Top 3 places paid.There where about 16 players.3. place was $60.There was a guy at my table that re-bought 3 times.So thats $30 plus $10 to join.Than he bought an addon that cost $20 at addon period. So thats $60 it cost him to play that tournament.So now he has to get at least 3 place to brake even but he end up loosen and lost $60 off his cash when it only had to be $10 and he could off saved his other money for another time.
Solution to the glass is half full - half empty ......

If you are taken something out of the glass than its half empty if you are putting something in the glass than its half full..

I see donks all over!  I get called a donk or worse it is part of poker!  With the way I play I do well in all types.  Just use your instincts and bankroll management skill to the fullest.  In a re-buy you of thought all through before you register! ;)
