In general I prefer not to late reg and especially not to rebuy.
Late reg by itself means that you will be shortstacked from the beginning, meaning more variance and less postflop playability.
This is especially amplified if you rebuy, as you will 99% of the time are going to be tilted after busting. So unless you have very good tilt management and unless you want to play as much tournaments as possible in a short period of time, I just recommend to close the game and just come again tomorrow or in another tourney later in the day, otherwise you can go onto a rebuy spree wasting a huge chuck bankroll on rebuys over one singular bust.

Personally, I never do rebuys. I believe that if I bust out of a tournament, it means it’s “not my” tournament. I’d rather register for another one instead. I’m also curious—how many people actually make the money after doing a rebuy?

I don't go for excessive re buys, but if you have bought into a tournament, surely you think you can cash, so you should still think you can cash, unless you have hardly any BB's if you re buy, then go for it!
I've gone on to cash or run deep loads of times after having a rebuy.

There are at least 3 different situations here:
1) Regular MTTs, that offer the option to reenter, if you lose all your chips
2) As 1) except there are bounties (PKO, KO)
3) R+A tournaments, where you can rebuy (add chips), if you drop below the starting stack and add-on, when the rebuy period has ended
For 1) and 2) the answer is, that you should reenter, if you would also have played the tournament, if you were to select a tournament right now and did not play it already. There is no difference between playing the same tournament twice and playing two different tournaments. For situation 2) you generally want to register as early as possible, because when bounties have been collected, there is less money to play for, so you are getting a "negative overlay" by entering late.
So if your general policy is to late register until an effective stack of say 30BB or 40BB, then you should also reenter, unless you prefer to play another tournament or want to reduce you table count. For KO and PKO events you should generally only reenter, if you bust very early, like you ran KK into AA or got oversetted or similar coolers. Mystery bounty MTTs fall under 1), since the bounties are not in play, while late registration and reenter is open.
For 3) the answer is, that you want to make it to the add-on break, since the add-on chips are sold at a discount, so you should normally rebuy as many times, as is needed to achieve that goal, but no more than this. Of course if you are on tilt and just had enough, its better to give up and forget about that particular tournament rather than rebuy for the 4. or 5. time, if you keep getting stacked. Since you are planning to fire more than the initial buyin at a R+A, the normal bankroll management rules do not apply. A $1.1 R+A can be compared to a $3.3 regular MTT and require the same bankroll.

Most tourneys I play are rebuy/reentries tilt re-entering was is a huge leak of mine that I think I have corrected. I will rebuy once if I bust early enough.
Multi reentries especially on tilt distorts bankroll management and is devastating to micro bankroll.

This is a flawed way of thinking about the situation. If you dont reenter, you always lose the original buyin, so its a sunk cost. The purpose of reentering is, that its a profitable decision in itself. Its not an attempt to recoup prior losses, which is never possible in poker.

I always re-enter, if I'd still enter with a good stack (+25BB PKO, even +15BB soemtimes in regular ones).
Think in re-entries as playing a new tournament, but remember that it isn't worth it if you get back in with 10BBs.

Online I almost never rebuy , I think in the very few times that I rebought , I lost again very quickly . Especially very late in the LR period or if rng fu**s me and then I for sure don't want to rebuy , rng will f me again , no reason to pay for that ))))

A bad beat can happen at any time, you can't count on them. A rebuy can be useful in this case, but I wouldn't allow unlimited rebuys. That's just a fool's game, playing every hand and then buying back 10 times. But money talks, we know that very well.

Of course, many times I have bought while tilting and it happens that you lose again because you have few chips, well thank you very much for the advice

Of course, I've seen a lot of people who are in the first places doing two or even three repurchases.

The decision whether to rebuy in poker depends on a variety of factors, including the size of your starting stack, your personal playing style, the current situation at the table, and your overall tournament strategy. Some players prefer to use rebuys as insurance against a bad start, while others prefer to save their money for later stages of the tournament. The decision to rebuy should be a thoughtful one based on your understanding of the game and the current situation.

I don't like this type of tournament because there are many players who use it to re-enter or re-buy several times and this greatly increases the variance of the game, so I prefer tournaments without this and the only acceptable thing for me is late registration, but I also don't like them that are too long, for this reason I haven't played in ACR anymore.

Thanks I play at Ggpoker, I think there are no tournaments without re-entries, I've heard of ACR but I'm from Peru I think there's no way to play

It works out for me, at most from level 2, and you have to be careful in beauty, it's different, you have to be prepared and with a strategy with a smaller stack, greetings
