Take the rebuy right away.

As for how these play out, they play like the Stars Guarantees and the FTP Double Stacks

- if u dont rebuy immediately and u double up, u only double ur original stack

- if u take the rebuy immediately and double up, u double up a double sized stack

answer: rebuy straight away

Always rebuy, and I agree with doing it at the beginning. If you do wait to buy later, still rebuy even if you've doubled up a couple times. If you are chip leader and have not re-bought, it's optional.

Everyone pretty much loads up to 3k. In tournaments with 500-600 people on a nightly basis, the prize pool is so big that a lifeline to save an extra buy-in from time to time doesn't override the money at the final table. I don't play it much, but I finished 6th once for about $980 in the $10. When you can choke in 6th and make like 32 buy-in's, go for the rebuy.

doesn't it matter how many people at your table that can double you up?
why rebuy if you are the only one at your table rebuying?
do you consider how many people at the table who can truly double you up?
i try not to rebuy unless i need to or over half of the people at the table can truly double me up.

I also look at add ons the same way. if you are chip leader at your table, and lead by more than what the add on is, do you still add on?

If adding-on or rebuying for $10 has to be a thought in a tournament with a prize pool of $15 or sometimes even $20k, you're better off pondering how to become a better poker player than pondering whether to rebuy/add-on or not.

As for regular unlimited rebuys, the prize pool in the $10r is regularly over $45k for the afternoon and $60k for the nightly. Game over on that discussion of whether to rebuy/add-on or not.

if this is a single rebuy, then why spend the 30 when 10 will do? thats all i'm asking.
