Re: Theory behind big Add-On\'s?
When rebuys were at busto, we generally had as many rebuys as buyins, give or take. This past one, we had 1.5x as many, but I don't know if that will grow or shrink (I expect grow). So average stack was 8k going into round 5.
Yeah, the jump between 5 & 6 is big, but I don't see an easy way around it, and it seems to work fairly well regardless. Eliminations happen fairly steadily throughout, perhaps weighted a little bit in 5 &6. Interestingly, the longest period without an elimination was from Level 11 to Level 14, four of us playing, average stack of 50k, with me getting eliminated at the 5k/10k level. Two of us had been pushing for a chop for at least half an hour leading up to that, since it was really just crapshoot time.
I've certainly been on a chip buying rampage this past month, but there's also the wonder of higher denomination chips.
As to your $25 or $15 buyins... doesn't making change take up a lot of time and distract from your play? $20s have worked for me quite well.
