Royal Flush Poker

There are many players you will find in this type of tournament who do not realise that there should be any point to give up and leave the tournament, but there are certainly factors to consider when you are rebuying repeatedly.

First of all, consider that with all the foolish players throwing all their chips in every hand until they get lucky, the average chip stack in the tournament will get high pretty quickly. With this in mind there isn’t much point rebuying 2,000 in chips for the tenth time, if the tournament average is already over 10,000. You’re simply too far behind for it to be worth your while.

That aside, I think it’s important to set yourself a limit on rebuys before you begin the tournament. You need to be sensible with your bankroll and know when you have invested enough money in a tournament already.
The other aspect of considering when to stop rebuying, is what the prize pool stands at, and how much you have spent so far. You do not for instance, want to be rebuying into a table where you are the small stack, and need to miraculously fight back and defeat 95% of the field to turn a profit.

Of course this sort of scenario is possible, but no matter how good you are it is highly improbable.
So when it comes to that tempting rebuy moment in future, consider if your money might be better invested in a fresh tournament. Or failing that, just do what I do, and avoid rebuy tournaments in the first place.
