Hypothetical Rebuy Tournament

asdfasdf32 · #1 10-05-2007, 07:26 AM

Imagine a rebuy tournament with a buy-in of $10,000 and unlimited rebuys (during the first two hours) that cost only 1-cent. Would you push every hand with any chance of winning during the rebuy period to the max or would typical tournament strategies still apply?

you would not push every hand. you would make the initial rebuy. then push every hand until you quadrupled. then play tighter, but still looser than regular tourney strategy. if you get back down to $0, repeat; but if there's <10 min left in tournament, push until you triple.

starting chips? Blind structure? this could possibly be the quickest way to lose $10,009.25

Let's say it's using the WSOP Main Event structure (not the new 20,000 starting chip one, the older one). So, in other words, nice and slow...

What a cluster**** that would be.

yeah. true. its all really going to be dependant on the tables dynamics. you could still play as long as the whole table isn't spazzing out shoving every hand.

2+2 used to have tournaments like this. Theoretically you want to have a lot of chips.

Wait, wasn't HSMTT created so that we don't have to discuss these out-of-the-blue "hypothetical scenarios" anymore?

Wait, why'd you open up a thread with "hypothetical" in the title?

It'd depend on the table, but I mean everyone should be trying to rebuy as much as possible really, when the cost of the rebuy is essentially nothing why wouldn't you?
