I make this assumption because I'm assuming that a lot of people think that to play a $10 re-entry or rebuy, you need to be rolled for $10 mtts. This is not the case. Yeah I brought rebuys up, sorry about that. As for this... There's an advantage to getting more chips in play on your table Only if you're not paying for them.

Presumably you'd be getting them in the middle in +EV spots and if it doesn't work out, you can get them again later on in the tournament if you stay at the table. So tilting when you get moved though :/ Re-entries you start again at a different table.

If we have a tight stacking range, then we're usually getting it in good with the ability to rebuy if we bust. It's much easier to build a stack in rebuys if we play a solid game while most others play like shit.

Yeah I brought rebuys up, sorry about that. As for this... Only if you're not paying for them. Whether it's a re-entry or just regular freezeout, I don't think it changes anything as far as BRM guidelines go. It's quite common for people to play a re-entry 'once' & not re-enter whereas if you're doing that in rebuys it is much different scenario & a losing one at that. I can't tell you how many times I've seen good players splashing around during the rebuy period, often easily making ~5 rebuys but also very often ended up extremely deepstacked heading into the remainder of the tournament. Before I had much of a clue as far as rebuy tournament strategy goes, I couldn't see how this could be a good idea (ie. "those donks are getting a shot at those chips w/o having to pay for them") but after watching a couple vids. & doing some reading (& watching good players on my tables) I thought otherwise. (actually I think the very first rebuy strat. vids. I watched were here on FTR... a $3r/a in I believe 5parts).
