Default huge crapshoot - only live tourney in my town

Hello!
First if this post isnt right for this forum, i'll apologise in advance. Since i only read through the forums now i gotta question, even though its maybe a dumb one [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Well i got this one and only NL holdem tourney in my hometown in the only cardroom that provides 2 cash game tables and a daily rebuy nl tourney (well its funny i know)...I calculated that the cardroom makes about 2-3k min. daily with the rebuy crapshoot. All in all its a pretty ridiculous tournament and most (85%) of the players really are damn donks.
Ok...ill explain the tournament structure...please dont laugh [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
The tourney starts every day mon-fri at 7pm...u get 2k chips for a 3€ buy-in. The Prizepool is "guaranteed" (lololol) with 1100€ paid fix over the first 8 players, no matter how many entrants there are...well..damn ridiculous....ok...now to the rebuy/addon issue..and blind increase issue ...lololol....u can unlimited rebuy for 10€ each (buy in 3€...rebuy 10€..lol)...and...rebuys are not added to the prizepool which is 1100€..even if 100 players play and average rebuy is 3 times...still top 8 paid and 1100€ in the prizepool...ok...average number of players usually is about 50-60 players...and some of them rebuy between 5-10 times whith some special guests sometimes who rebuy 10 or more times....ok...the rebuy period lasts for 3 leves of 30 min each...starts at 50/100..level 2 is 100/250 and level 3 with 250/500...(thats already pretty damn crazy)....after the rebuy period u can addon...addon costs 15€ (lol) and u get 16k chips (wtf?) [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]....after the break the first level is 500/1k....and after the break blind levels increase every 8 min...(u can play about 1 orbit before blinds increase)..500/1k - 1k/2k - 2k/4k - 5k/10k - 7k/14k - 10k/20k - 20k/40k - 40k/80k - 80k/160k - etc etc...normally 160k 320k level isnt goin to be played...

So now my question is what do u think about this awesome crapshoot? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]...
I gotta say that when i started...on the second try with 3€ i got first place without a final table deal (400€)..normally the pot is split due to the blind factor and no one dares to play on [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]....i cashed about 4 in a row after my 1st place without a deal...After that i played a few were i made an addon and so i lost about 100-200 and won about ~850 overall in that tournament...
Ok from then on of course i played it pretty often even though i knew it was the biggest crapshoot in the world but, even though with the biggest donkeys in the world .
Well now i played it about 30 times or so always with just the 3€ buy in no rebuy no addon...I often stood up after a push in the early stages and had to go home [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] cause i didnt want to loose another aa against qj all in for 10 bucks...i bubbled a lot of them with hands like kk or so when the i have about 200k bb is 40k ..i push all in with like kk and bb calls any2...hitting 2 pair with 65 or something like that...also got 2 8 places without split cause i had to call one of these re.tards with chips goin all in on a gutshot in the first hand 8-handed...
( 8 place pays 30€ = 10x buy in without addon or rebuy)...

So now my question is if somebody of u could tell me if its even worse playing the tourney just with 3€ when there are so many rebuys and nearly everybody takes the addon...oh..i forgot...rebuy is 4k chips..after 3rd rebuy u get 5k and after 10 rebuys u get a free addon...looool
Does anybody of u think its worse playing it with 3€...
The funny thing is...u can also buy in after the break..for 25€ u get 21k chips...at blinds 500/1k and doubling every 8 minutes...
Whats more valuable? playing with 3€ and maybe goin home after a short visit or playing with 25€ and an average stack...with this ultra speed structure after the break?

Does anyone of u knows such a crapshoot as well?

thx in advance,
best regards
MrCaramba
