Default Re: Cashing in a re-buy without re-buying?

going to a gunfight without a full supply of bullets.

I once played in a $35.00 rebuy live tournament with the intention of playing with only $35.00.* I was lucky enough to place in the money; but after reading this thread, I'll never do it again. As SellingTheDrama said, I'm better off playing SNGs or cash games.

* I ended up rebuying once, and adding on; but that was after I was already in the money. Or else I was just confident that I would be in the money.

It must be the latter because there is no way that you could be in the money during the rebuy period. Also the add-on was probably a waste if you were already confident youd be in the money.

The extra 6 or 7 M that you add-on is going to wind up being 1-2 M or less once youre past the money bubble and that is rarely going to make a difference. You're probably doubling up or going bust at some point and those chips just wont matter.
