Everything but the bracelet

So last Wednesday I figured I'd go play some poker in New Hampshire after some half-made and ill-remembered plans fell through. I got there in time for a rebuy/addon tournament. I almost didn't play, because I've never really learned what proper rebuy and addon strategy is.[1] But I entered... and I lost most of my stack with KK against AA... but I ( Read more... )

I've always been told if the add-on is less than 10% of your stack you should pass on the add-on.

If adding on would make you the chip leader, you should add on.

And if adding on increases your stack by more that 10% you should add on.

Hey, I didn't realize that you don't have to wait to bust to rebuy and that you can, in fact, buy-in for 120 dollars sitting down and not have to wait for the add-in period or busting out. I also didn't realize that it was the one single rebuy/add-on no matter what.

Anytime I've ever played in a single no-qualifications rebuy tourney I sit down double stacked and don't sweat the decision. Most of the people you are playing with have probably done the same. Back in the day when we used to go down to foxwoods for their saturday tourneys, we always bought in/rebuyd right at the start.

George and I played in a 50 dollar no-rebuy tourney yesterday. I had a crazy table of loose agressives. George busted out ahead of me, I was so card dead it wasn't funny.

Anyway, another NH poker room.... http://www.riverpokerroom.com/index.htm
