Re: What are your requirements for rebuying?
"If you are trying to encourage rebuys, that's one way to do it. But I think you are giving too much power to the rebuyer. The rebuyer shouldn't be rewarded for rebuying and automatically be thrust to average stack size. "
So if you were rebuying, you wouldn't be bothered by getting a stack less than ?% of the average stacks?
Your question is the key idea I'm trying to get at- what do people feel is the proper balance between the rebuy stack coming back into the tourney? What would you consider as too low, or too high, for the rebuy stack?
"In a typical Stars rebuy tourny at the end of the rebuy hour, the average stack size is anywhere from 3-7 time the starting stack size."
I don't play online- how low are the starting BB:stack ratios? Or are they just that aggressive? How long are the rounds- 10 minutes?
"Also, if you are rebuying at 100% average stack size, how are you going to track this as the tournament progresses. Obviously I'm waiting/stalling to push allin until the allin on the next table finishes up so that my rebuy stack will be a few chips heavier."
This is intended as an estimated average, in order to set the rebuy stack size- obviously it would be silly to do what your example said and keep raising the rebuy stack each time someone busts. I think we both agree that it wouldn't make sense to change the rebuy stack size at all as the rebuy period progresses (that's partly what the add-on is for).
So, if the starting stack is T2000 and the average stack in the 2nd round would be T4000, then maybe T3000 could be the rebuy stack - making your preferred size 75% of the average stack.
I wasn't sure if using starting stacks instead of average in my poll would get people to overreact to "150% of the starting stack!" when the rebuy stack would in actuality be less than the average stack.
Was I wrong in assuming that you look at average stack when determining whether the rebuy/add on stacks are worth acquiring? I've only played in a few small home rebuy tourneys, and one at the Trop in AC.
" I think Stars has a nice rebuy system, I would model after that."
can you give me details? I don't want to get spammed by the site by browsing through it.
