Then you need to enter lower buy in ones...
In my limited rebuy tourney experience, I think planning on 7x the buy in for a is a good idea. Figure you're in for 3 no matter what: The buy in, initial rebuy, and the add on. If you get busted just once, that's 2 more right there. Most of the time, you should get away with less than 7x, but there will be days where you're gonna be in for 9 or 11 buy ins... |

To reinforce what TP and Chip said, I'll paraphrase the advice I(and a few others) got a few years ago from Greg Raymer on 2+2 about rebuys. If you aren't prepared or willing to take every rebuy and add-on to which you're entitled, don't play.
The 7x figure is a solid rule of thumb, though I consider 5x to be my average. The key here is to understand the texture of your table. At a wild table full of rebuy maniacs and little fold equity, you can get away with playing fairly tight as long as you're willing to also take advantage of all +EV pot odds situations (like preflop it's obvious you'll get more than 3:1 for all your chips so you can call with something like 97s). On the other hand, if you're at a tight table, where it looks like fold equity is relatively normal, *you* have to become the rebuy maniac. I've lately been having a ball at the 'Stars Turbo rebuy satellites to the WSOP double shootouts. I probably won't play a shootout, because my work schedule would make going to Vegas next month tough, but I figure if I can bank enough W$, I can use them for the WCOOP. Anyhow, the turbo rebuys are enjoyable, because they're wild early and super-tight late, so if you can get to where there's about 2.5x players/seats left you can cruise to the seat by stealing intelligently. |

well
took chip's advice and played a $1 rebuy today, saw alot of flop early and got lucky once or twice and ended up getting 7th. Only made $5 because only like 28 people added on during 1st break but was good only had to re-buy once. At 1st break was in top 10 in chips about double the average. Thanks for advice chip and co. I will be playing re-buys like that for now on.
