Hi

In my opinion, it depends on how mud=ch the rebuy is, how big the BR is, and how much they want to gamble, it is their money

If I play a rebuy I never take the rebuy or add on.  If I'm playing a rebuy with 20 players and there have been 20 buy in plus several rebuys and add ons then its like playing an MTT where the guarantee hasn't been met.  So I just play them tighter than I would normally aware that players are generally being more reckless.

Yes, there is a point.

I do the exact opposite of ertikins, I make an instant re-buy and start with twice as many chips as most of the other players. If I get KO'd and there is still a reasonable chance of making the bubble I will make a double re-buy (never a single re-buy). I always take the add-on at the break unless I'm runaway chip leader. Using these tactics I've won several rebuy tournaments and made a big profit overall. Players who don't rebuy are at a big disadvantage IMO and hardly ever seem to win. This was the result of the latest re-buy I entered;

GaryQQQ	150000	1	£90 + 10 League Points
Ashva	0	2	£56.25 + 8 League Points
dawson6924	0	3	£33.75 + 6 League Points
JimmyD116	0	4	£24.75 + 4 League Points
BIGBEEL	0	5	£20.25 + 2 League Points

This cost me 5 x £3.30; the buy-in, an instant re-buy, a double re-buy and the add-on.

You need a good bankroll to use these tactics, I will only enter a re-buy tournament if I don't mind spending and losing 5x the buy-in.

Take the instant rebuy and you're then bomb-proof until the break, then add-on and it's pretty hard not to go very deep in these and to make a tidy profit. The advantage of rebuys is that most people have no idea how to play them.

Entering them and refusing to rebuy or add-on is in principle a tad perverse imo - just don't enter them?!
