After the other night’s tourney, we got some feedback and I thought I would throw it out there to the general poker community for some thoughts. Basically, it was a $50 buyin with $25 rebuys available at any time to anybody who went below $600 in chips (everyone received $1000 to start). At the third break everyone was allowed a rebuy regardless of how many chips they had and then all rebuys were eliminated going forward.
The structure of the game was limit poker with blinds increasing every 1/2 hour. After the third break and the end of the rebuys the game went NL with increasing blinds every 1/2 hour.
Now, the feedback we got was that some people didn’t like the rebuys. They felt too many people bet crazy because they knew they could simply rebuy their way into the tourney. We did in fact have 32 rebuys with 30 players so there’s something to this argument.
My suggestion was that we limit rebuys to one rebuy per person for the entire evening. If you rebought and then went out, you are out. I also thought it might be a good idea to go to NL sooner as the more quickly you can consolidate the chips into fewer and fewer hand the less likely it is that someone would want/need to rebuy.
So that’s the initial thinking at the moment. If anybody has any suggestions . . . I’m open.
