Live Tag-Team Tournament

[Elrohir44]

Hey guys, assuming that my friend can get off work on Saturday night, we are going to be playing in a tag-team tournament at a local casino. It is $100+20 buy in with thirty minute levels. On each level the game switches between limit HE and limit Omaha 8/b and you switch with your partner every level. Each team starts with 3000 chips but you can do one $100 rebuy for 4000 more chips. Since my friend has more success with Omaha 8 than me, I will be playing the hold'em portion.

Does anybody have any experience in this type of format? Do you have any advice for playing a limit tournament? I have played a couple but I am used to no limit tourneys. Also, would you recommend making the rebuy immediately so that we start out deep-stacked or should we saved the money and see if we get short-stacked first? Is there any advice that you think my friend should have for the Omaha portion?

Any advice is welcome. The prize pool guarantee is $8000 so I am guessing that there will be about 40 teams in the tounament. This is definitely outside of my bankroll but it seems like it would be a lot of fun. If anybody lives in Southern California and is interested in coming it will be at the Lake Elsinore Casino just off of the I-15 freeway.

Thanks guys!

Also, I thought that it is worth mentioning that this is a small casino that mostly attracts the local regular players. I go there about twice per month and I have usually seem 75% of the players there before. Most of them are loose passives but there are several that are experienced props who are quite aggressive. Should I apporach these players the same way I would in a limit cash game?

because it is a limit tournament having a big stack has little advantage in low blind levels, you have to make sure you have enough chips for full betting assuming capping on every street, but definitly do the rebuy at some point
