Re: An Unfortunate Asymmetry

I think this is a very similar problem to playing a Stars rebuy tournament at a tight table. Some tables are lucky enough to have multiple all ins every hand and will finish the rebuy period with 100,000 chips on the table, others will finish with half that or less. But there are ways to loosen up a tight table.

It has been suggested that part of Negreanu's strategy of going nuts early on in a rebuy is that even if he doesn't immediately build a big stack, at the end of the rebuy period his table has a lot more chips than any other table. When he settles down and plays solid poker after the rebuy period, he generally has the best chance to win most of those chips. There is also the fact that the tables tend to remain unbroken for a longer period in a rebuy tournament.
