Stars 55 1 rebuy/1 add on...

[leftysright]

As many of you I like to rebuy at the very beginning, but was wondering how you guys play this one. Using your rebuy and taking a nasty beat could leave you out before the first break. So my question.... is it best to rebuy at the very beginning or only if you go bust?

Rebuy stright away. Just think of it as a deeper stacked $165 buyin tourney with the +EV of people who don't rebuy/addon.

in 1 rebuy i would wait

I found myself in this situation just yesterday at a casino in Las Vegas. It was a $60 buyin with a single $40 addon.

I waited to see if anyone else at my table made an early rebuy. Only one man did, so I became the second. Nobody else did.

On the second hand of the tourny, one gentleman in early position shoved all-in. The other rebuyer folded before the action got to me in middle position. I looked down and found AK suited.

I made the call, everyone else folded, and my opponent revealed his pair - KK. Luckily, I caught an Ace on the flop.

My point here is this: If he would have made the early rebuy, I would have had a much tougher decision and might have laided this hand down at this stage of the tourny.

This has been discussed many times in the past. Take the immediate rebuy and play it as a freeze out. If you make the first break obviously take the addon.

If you could take the rebuy at any time regardless of stack size you 'might' be able to make a better arguement for waiting. But if you have even 1 chip over the starting stack you've lost the chance to get those extra chips.
