I tried to, but the "hack" I found isn't supported for the version of vbulletin that we are running, and I don't trust it.

This is the best I could find anywhere:


If anyone (ahem, Robbie Robb to the rescue?) can find something that will definitely work, I'm all over it. I just don't trust this, as it hasn't worked for the past handful of people who have tried it on vb version > 3.5.0. We are running 3.5.2 right now.

Another interesting FYI: Remember when Chip used to post?

And yet one more: I said "for the record" in one of my posts above - Dammit, stupid Aeq was stupid right!

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.

Who cares if it takes skill? If a big event entry is worth $500 for example (I'm just picking an umber out of thin air), and you KNOW you can qualify for it by playing like this in a $10 rebuy and it will cost you anywhere from $30 to more likely $150 to an outside shot of $300, then what's the problem? They are spending < $500 and leaving with $500. Seems like a pretty good plan to me.

I dragged this thread out because I was wondering what strategy folks recommend for rebuy and addon tournies. I first searched for "addon" through threads, but most of the info was old. So instead of starting a new thread and then having someone link to this one, I justed ask a vague followup question in this thread. If that is not the preferred way to ask a question probably has already been asked previously, just let me know.
