Default Re: update...todays 45 example

Meh, it depends. You kinda lost me on your post when you got to leaving during rebuy periods because you lost a few hands....

However, on some site like Absolute poker, people gamble SO much less, and the rebuy/addon per person is much less than other sites. So it makes it less profitable to play the wild maniac gambler, as you can often be stuck so much you need top 6 to make money etc.

In tournaments like the stars 45k, the 5/3r i think it is profitable to play a fairly loose and wild rebuy period to try to accumulate chips. Especially in the 3/5 where the play is so bad, you want to have a big stack for when you get into a big pot with the other big stacks - generally players play the deepstack poker so badly in the first 2 hours that i want enough chips to win the big pots when they get allin for 100+bb stacks with JJ or AQ against my AA, or when i have a set vs their overpair.

I used to play then tight when i had a lower BR, now i can afford to rebuy, in my opinion getting the biggest stack however possible is what you should do (some tables the wild push any2 doesn't work well, some it does)
