How Not to Play a Rebuy Tourney

Step 1: Don't be in a pissy mood because you got soaked at the track earlier in the day.  Side note: The story goes that Razz was invented for people who bitched they never got cards in stud.  Someone should invent a wager that pays you off if you constantly narrowly miss exactas. 

 

Step 2: Don't overlook the rules.  Know that if you're at or below 1500 chips, you can rebuy.  I figured this out after winning a small pot and getting to like 1580 chips early on.  There was more than enough opportunity to get to 3000 in the first few hands - I never took advantage of it.

 

Step 3: Don't stack the same guy multiple times and get up to 8000 chips w/o a rebuy.  Sure, this sounds like a good thing, but it leads directly to Step 4.

 

Step 4: Don't give it all back to the same guy.  Short story, I stacked him once with the nut flush draw when I simply hit one of my overcards to his middle pair.  Then I gave it all back missing two subsequent nut draws.  This was particularly troublesome because...

 

Step 5: Don't go broke and need to rebuy with <10 minutes left in the rebuy period.  You'll never get that big stack back.

 

Step 6: Don't build a UI like PokerStars that makes you hunt for the Add-on Feature.  Shouldn't a button pop up for this - just like it does for the rebuy?  I finally found it, but it was 3 minutes of aggravation.

 

Step 7: Don't be card dead after the rebuy period.  That always helps.

 

Step 8: Don't get too happy when you get moved to a table full of average or below-average stacks like yourself.  Because sooner or later, the chip leader is going to be moved there.  And as sure as the sun will come up tomorrow, he'll be seated two to my left.  Happens.  Every.  Time.

 

Step 9: Don't run KK into AK because we know how that ends.  I did it to myself - the donk led out after the A flopped, and I had to choose between short-stack ninja mode or the slight chance that he was bluffing or the slighter chance I could draw out.  I chose the latter, which was probably a wise choice given that I was falling asleep in my chair, but wasn't a wise choice at all in the strictest sense of playing the game.
