Re-Buys are good if you realize that it’s a different facet to a poker game and control the amount you invest.

The most important parts of the re-buy game are, the relationship of the bubble -1 pay cheque to the cost of the re-buy investment related to time.

To Simplfy:- If the Bubble – 1 cheque is 100Euros+ XRB% and the buyin is 10E+1E the re-buy = 10E you can Re buy Statistically 5 times+ 1 ADDON= 60E’s You have invested 71Euros in this game. The re-buy% money is not important to the Question “Is this Game worth playing” to the average player but VERY significant to an Actuary.

The next important consideration is the relationship of the chip leaders stack at the time of the rebuy and the number of Starting Players, any more than 100 Players is going to be a problem assuming that for every 100 plays 18% of the Strongist Starting hands are not going to win the POT.

IMHO: There is NO point playing a Re-Buy Tournament if the INVESTMENT is not in a INVESTMENT relationship of 1:1000+ for 1st place.

So in the game above 71Euros = 7100Euros+ for 1st Place. 1Euro is rougthly 1$

If you are quick you have already realised that WE have Established our INVESTMENT CRITERIA before we have been delt a CARD.

At the moment I am trying to invent a reliable equation for the TIME per 100 players take to play to a conclusion a re-buy tournament on a computer, with a variance of + or – 30 mins.

This is important for other equations in relationship to THE PLAYINGTIME/PROFIT evaluation factor of the question “IS THIS GAME WORTH PLAYING”? However I digress.

CHIP LEADERS STACK:

Now this is very tricky I am under the general Impresstion with a lot of other players that YOU DO NOT RE-BUY if YOUR stack is 65% lower than CHIP DADDIES stack, pre addon/re-buy finish time.

However I have won a 25K$ tournament with $5198 at level 6 and the Chip Daddy had $42,000+ it took me 7 hours and I did wonder at my sanity after the computer tournament finished. The final hand for a point of interest was J8o v J3s both players allin and I held the J8o thinking what the F**k did he called for with j3s. I was very tired so he/she must have been the same and to be honest I didn’t give a sh*t when I pushed allin the 2nd place money was good enough for me and I wanted sleep.

At this moment I have to say DON’T Re-buy if your stack is less than 66% of the Chip Leader ( chip dady) stack, presuming you are all GOOD players and don’t sit there thinking you are only going to play Skalansky group 1 hands and group 2 in your blinds.

Anyway I am getting bored with this script so you Guys must be as well, shutting up for now, good hunting
