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.

Thanks, now I know. I'm a cash game player. I've never played a SNG, but I'll do that soon. I'm studying Collin Moshman's book now.

Also the add-on was probably a waste if you were already confident youd be in the money.

I thought it might make a difference what place I got. After the tournament, however, it seemed to me that I'd have ended with the same place whether I'd purchased the add-on or not. In the future, I'll add on, though – based on comments in this thread.
