heres my strategy for R&As: i wont play them anymore. ever.
seriously, as someone already said it in this thread, its as much how many times someone can rebuy as it is about skills. actually, of course, its about the former, not the latter.
in this past yr that i wasted on the (compulsory R&A) entry level sats at stars (et al), i can recall (no names in public!) stars 'prominent' online players bragging how they can qualify for any big event thru the R&As following this simple strategy: go allin/rebuy as many times as needed to accumulate min 20-30k chips in the first hr, and then take it from there. it takes a lot of skills to do that, right?
rebuys and turbos are responsible for some serious, mass-scale, dumbing down of online poker. big time.
