It’s not good for the game as only ppl with funds can gamble and ultimatel will have massive stack. The person with less funds minimum win sometime but can get suck out as well n out as can’t afford to buy back

I don't like the re-buys as too many donkeys who just gamble as they can rebuy so I look for the freeze outs

It's not good

Re-entry tournaments is only good for players with cash funds, with cash, players with a lower Bankroll, end up being harmed!

I think 1 re-entry is ok, but unlimited re-entries is too much.

There are advantages and disadvantages to unlimited rebuys:

Advantages:

  1. It increases the prize pool available to be paid out without enlarging the number of player prizes.
  2. As stated earlier. It allows someone who has had ad luck to re-enter the MTT.
  3. Where the prize pool is a level plateau (A guaranteed number of tickets of the same value). It can increase the number of prizes available.


Disadvantages:

  1. It keeps the number of players competing in the MTT artificially high until the re-entry period ends.
  2. It keeps players who are on the bubble outside the bubble. When short stacked that means they will not cash in the tournament without luck.
On balance if you maintain a stack above the starting stack you'll not be pushed back in the MTT and it increases the number of reckless players who are willing to give you chips easily, making it more likely for you to cash.
