Definitely a bigger prize pool with you :D

thats a very good point you raise there bob. maybe this may be the end of the "retard" element of the online section of this league...


If u don't like this element, perhaps do not play Rebuy tournaments.

The wild all ins, whilst mildly annoying, give rocks a chance to get paid big time when they are 80/20 favourites.

It also gives gamblers a crack at a stack without the consequences of elimination.

I think it is a win:win.

I don't play limit hold'em 'cos I find it slow and boring, if I chose to play & complained about it i would have to be 'retarded'.
May all your pain be champagne!

sorry guys, but how can you complain about people that shove their money in when they are behind?

the only reason i can think is that you aren't prepared to put any of your own money into the prize pool, so when you get sucked out on in the rebuy period, you just leave.

I do see both sides though

It's a rebuy - yes there is play that's a lot looser than normal
But it's also only 50c and $1 ....

Make it a $10 rebuy and people won't be so silly! :)

Unless you are at a $25 rebuy at Crown where it gets really silly sometimes.

Not so David I watched a player spew over a hundred bucks in a live rebuy event Sat at the Sun River Poker Championships in Gol Gol, he went on to have a nice stack at the end of the rebuy period.

Gundog, you know that isn't the same.
The play, whilst looser in a rebuy GF event, is NOTHING like the online rebuys.


NOTHING.

And btw, $100 isn't uncommon at all for those rebuys.
