I've had some good results with rebuys, but I play the opposite of how people say I should. I insta double my stack, and I'll addon, but I don't sit there shoving light and reloading. I'll play the rebuy stage tight, looking to double up with a tight range vs the crazy fuckers going wild. I'll rebuy if forced to, up to the point that a rebuy stack is worth 20bb+, at which point I'll abandon the game if I bust. But it's not my intention to double up or reload, I just want to double up and am happy to have a way back into the game if I get sucked or coolered.
Prizes are immense relative to buy in, and bubble prizes are usually at least 7x BI, so if I've just kept it to the 3x BI, then cashing is already a decent return, and it just gets better from there.
I think too many people just think the right play is to go wild, but most who take this approach are not rolled sufficiently to play this method optimally.
Good post.
It's not that I play many Rebuys, but if I do, I do it like you, trying to build up a stack, and then always take an add-on. The only difference, I don't always insta double my stack
If I bust and a rebuy would give me less than 10bb, I'll leave the game. I'm not lucky enough to get back from that spot
