hi

I've played a couple of these re-buys as live games and personally I'd rather just buy-in 3x as much and play a freeze out but thats a personal thing

alot of places find they can get a busy night with a £15 re-buy and plenty of players for a guaranteed £5k which ends up easily covered with 100+ players averaging £45-£60 in re-buys

to me I end up playing fairly conservatively through the re-buy while half of them move all-in then re-buy repeatedly I mean seriously - they'd have to make the money just to break even so I dont see the logic

I can understand taking a punt and maybe working on max 3 re-buys but really I've ended up in better shape (although not great shape) than half of them who chuck away £60+ gambling to than buy-in again just before the cutoff to then be sat with the original chip start and £60 lighter

I would rather pony up £60 or whatever the average is to play a freezeout - save 90 minutes of fannying around and get on with it

but these sort of games attract the gamblers who think it's going to be a £20 night and then get stupid and keep chucking another £20 at it again and again

I would try to do well double up off the gambling donks and if you miss when you should have hit - re-buy but do the maths so your not wasting money
