Some with a big bank roll can afford to play re-buys. I know a guy who was a super nova on stars who actually liked the re-buy tournaments. He was successful in them also.
I suppose, but real skill is determined in regular freezouts.
I think you see so many rebuys on the Merge sites because it is easier for them to offer guaranteed money in those tournaments with lower traffic than what you see on the bigger sites.
Stars could (and I believe still does) offer $4k and $5k guarantees on $1.10 buy in tournies because they knew that they would get over 5,000 entrants.
Even with the recent growth, there are still no more than 10,000 playing at any one time across the entire Merge network. In order for them to offer guaranteed money in a tournament they almost have to make the tournament a rebuy in order to reach the guarantee.
Hopefully with continued growth you'll see fewer rebuys as time goes on.
carbon poker sucks. one of the worst sites ive ever played on. delete it now ya na i mean
I dont play the rebuys much but if I do, I play like they're not there. I think add ons are a waste. If your playing well and have 10,000 chips why add on? It looks like 95% use it and I dont see the point. You can make that in 1 good hand so why bother. Maybe if you skip the 1st hour and buy in late with r/a you gotta stack but....
Don't like these at all,,,,so I don't ,,,,play,,,,as to why there are so many, more players I guess,,,
I guess you are right, would love to see more freezouts
More chips = more power. The people that do not add-on are handicapping themselves.Quote:

Ill play the DD on carbon every once in a while but im a cheapskate so when i do play rebuys i only allow myself one rebuy and maybe a addon. if im not running good then whats the point in throwing good money after bad results...
I don't care much for the rebuys. I guess if my br was larger, then I might like them better. Don't seem it fair when you have players with a large br at tables with players trying to build their bankrolls. JMHO
They take a huge loss on GTD tourneys. But they do offer GTD freezeouts. The prize pool is usually $1500 or less though.
not a big fan of rebuys. If your out your out. But they do make the prize pool bigger.
bsalz, I used to check they're ev on gtds. mostly cause their record on withdrawal requests, delays, processing delays, whatever. But the 100k never gets close and they give away 100 seats every week. Call it what it is and make it 75k and pay people when they ask for it.
yeah rebuys for low limit MTT's make it hard to build a BR. Just gotta stick with the Bounty tournys i guess.
I hate the rebuy tourney's. I only play the freezeouts.
i feel at all the cheap tourneys, $1-$5, r rebuys, i hate playing them and sngs are a hard way to increase bankroll in large amounts
I like the double or nothing sitngo's. Those are my favorite to play.
Players trying to build bankrolls should not play in rebuy tournaments.Quote:

I rather prefer freezeouts compared to rebuys. Rebuys cost too much and donks will easily throw their money away sometimes getting lucky on you.
I dont play any Tourneys on Carbon, only our frees. Stupid slow software
I don't like any rebuys or addons. I ahve never had a problem with their software though.
Really wish I could play on stars again, the tourneys on carbon make me miss it a lot more
I agree about the rebuy tournaments. I hate them.
the rebuys for carbon are to make sure enough money is put into to the prize pool due to the low entrants..i believe that is the main reason they have so many rebuys..but i rarely rebuy anyway so it don't bother me, i wish i could play on stars again but oh well..carbon will have to do
I mostly play at the iPoker network, much more garantueed freezeouts.
Carbon is the first, and so far only online poker site that I play at. I just started playing in the online poker arena only a couple of months ago. I'm not familiar with the other sites you all have mentioned. My only gripe about Carbon is not enough freerolls between the times, and I wished that they would limit the entrants. I think I maybe played one game that offered a rebuy, and yes, I did rebuy once, only to learn that my rebuy chips weren't near enough when I got transferred to a table with people having extremely higher chip stacks. :( Live and learn...
Carbon is the only site I play on also. But I do not like multiple rebuys. One rebuy is OK though.
carbons mtts suck compared to pokerstars.. which i miss dearly ;) - carbon has way too many rebuys/addons and their gtds absolutely suck compared to what stars has
I never liked Pokerstars. There were too many people on it and the site was kind of hard to navigate in my opinion.
I love me some rebuy tournaments........just adds to the prizepool. Great value especialy with low buy in tournies, more fish
i think u need to think 5$ rebuy like as 15-20$ freezout. so regitering a rebuy tour without 1rb in the first min and no add on buying is idiotic..
I like rebuys sometimes, and I don't think you have to rebuy into it either if you're willing to gamble. With a short stack, you are more likely to get a caller from a big stack calling with weaker. Then again, it's just one more double up you have to win to make big money. I've placed in rebuys before without rebuying, but it's rare. I do think you should plan on doing a rebuy and add-on if you're serious about the tournament, but if you aren't, and are willing to gamble, I like them because they are generally shorter, and there are quite a few people rebuying a lot and pushing with junk that give good value.
