Re: Question about add-on decisions
I think you need to clear up some of the numbers.
its 50 for 1500 or 2500 chips ?
Then you can pay 5 for 1k more ?
Then you can either rebuy or addon 50 for 2000 but only once? and only up until the first hour ?
As some general thoughts:
Generally you should take the addon provided you a: still feel you are favored compared to the average person in the field, and b: have enough chips to have any realistic chance of Final Tabling.
As for wether using it as an addon at the end, or saving it for a rebuy if you bust, or using it right away... thats a complicated question. My guess is that mathematically the best play from EV perspective is taking it right away is the best. My guess is many players have a viceral reaction to wanting to save it in case they bust due to bad luck (bad beat)... my guess is that mathematically that thinking is unsound. If you could constantly re-enter a similar tourney, taking it right away probably is best, given that your can only play this tournament live every now and then, maybe saving it for a rebuy if you bust then taking the add on if you have any realistic chance to final table is best.
