Freerolls with rebuys

[manrico86]

Most players in a freeroll re-buy tourney will not re-buy. You should always re-buy in these tourneys. Freerolls with re-buys will generally have unlimited re-buys for the first hour. For freerolls, consider the tourney to be volatile until the end of the re-buy tourney. You can also be pretty loose during this period since you can always buy back in if you go out. So what does it mean to you? Is it worth it to re-buy 10 or 12 times in a $1 freeroll that has a total prize of $1000 with $200 as first place? You would have to get to the final table to make your money back. From the pure money standpoint I would say no. From the standpoint of final table play or making it to the final table, I would say this is worth the price. Consider the $12 an investment in experience on playing in high stakes (for this tourney anyway) poker.

So the hand selection for re-buy tourneys would be to add to your normal hand selection (consult the tourney hand selections from this site, either mine or p-s.org’s) calling with any paint or any suited hands. Also, call with any Ace. If you hit top pair you should go all-in. If you have any pair, go all-in pre-flop. Once you get to double the starting chips, then play your normal strategy with an eye to a little looser play since you can always re-buy.

[manrico86]

that's right xingxing677. but if you have more money you will play much more agressively.

i agree! thats why i never play in rebuy tourneys...need more money to do that.

I never rebuy in freeroll torneys, but sometimes it pays off to rebuy in money guaranteed tournaments

[manrico86]

of course, but it's your turn.

Its just that you have to add the cost of one rebuy and one addon to the buy-in when you're deciding if to play a certain tournament or not. For example, if your bankroll is enough to cover $30 freezeout tournaments then the highest rebuy tournament you should play is $10.

Don't like these: game is too wild and even if I sit tight and bet only with excellent hole cards, someone will always call with garbage like low suited connectors and pull a nut with them.
Funny I rememeber one guy in $2 rebuy tourney who re-buyed one after another for like 20 times went all-in basicly every hand and told me "Rebuys are only $2, refill your boots". What a donk, he had to finish around Top-20 to have a profit! I'm sure he was out around 300 or 200 at max.
