    Default To Add-on or not to Add-on?

    I know we discussed it a long time ago, but I cant find the thread...

    There must be a point where it's -EV to add on in a rebuy MTT, but whats the point?

    I just add on 4500 in the PP 1$ rebuy and I felt ridiculous... I already had 56K in front of me...

    KJ

    I remember that thread, search Steve-O...I seemed to gain good info from his replies.

    I'm too lazy, just search Steve-O and rebuy tourney...

    greg raymer has a proof somewhere about where u shouldnt add on.

    i think its something like if you have more than 10% of the chips in play, maybe 30%, i dunno, search it on 2+2

    i cant remember a time where i havent added on...

    add on only when you're below average imo

    no way. average stack at break of the 3r is like 8k, you wouldnt pay $3 to add 20% to your stack if you were at 8k

    honestly ive added on with 44k at 1st break and i think it was correct to do so.

    If average is 8k at beginning of add-on, the average after the add on will be 9k - 9.5k... if you dont add on you are now below average

    QFT

    If for no other reason, it makes sense to add on to keep your position overall. 90% of people in it will be adding on, and you lose ground if you don't.
    If you are one in a million, there's eight just like you in Manhattan.

    8k was a guess i know its around there.

    either way, it doesn't matter. 7k, 9k, 15k, 20k, 3k, you are going to add on, and it is correct to do so.

    search it on 2p2, there is a thread

    Well.. I dont know where the point is but its certainly not the average stack!

    It must be when the add on represent a certain % of your stack or when your Q is amazingly high... something like that...

    Like I said with a Q of 4.5 and an add on representing less than 8% of my stack yesterday, I felt I did'nt need to add on... but I did cause I did,nt know if it was right or wrong and I felt better be wrong to add on here VS wrong to not.

    KJ
