Party Poker rebuy bug, legal? Thoughts?

I love this rebuy bug. Lol @ spending $90 in a $2 speed rebuy.

Never having played on party, I'm getting curious here.. how exactly does this function work?

It's a while since I've played but, iirc, you get 3000 chips and instarebuy to 6000. You push all your chips in first hand and rebuy (duting the hand). If no one calls, hey presto, you have 9000 chips +the blinds. If you you get one caller and double up, you have 15k. If you lose, you have 3k. I think you could actually reb uy twice, maybe, but I was never quick enough.

It really pisses people off. And it's great fun.

Having said that, I have a dreadful ROI on Party, so it never did me any favours. I'm not sure there's as much point these days because the fields are so much smaller that spending $$$ to get a massive stack isn't as worthwhile.

You can't rebuy twice. As long as your stack is below the starting point sometime during a hand, you can rebuy. I've done it a gazillion times and never once has someone commented (other than the frequency which I did it at in the $2 speed rebuy one)....guess you've been unlucky registrar.

Depending on the stakes, I usually go at least one buy-in over the usual double buy-in. I don't really play any rebuys there any more besides the 30r though.
