i didnt even know about this

josephswright · 02-21-12, 10:41 PM

sorry wrong forum

So if the rebuys and add-ons exceed the guarantee and 150% of original buyins they don't go into the prize pool?

Unless people having enough points to rebuy makes it play different then a regular rebuy tournament if the guarantee gets met the total buyins with add-ons and rebuys will likely exceed 150% of the initial amount...

LUCKYCHUCK · 02-22-12, 06:18 AM

sounds like fun. hope i have time to play

I kinda thought the same thing, I would think almost all people will be buy thing add-on at least.

No sir - that's the High Roller Tourney. No limit on entrants to the rebuy tourney.

No.

SBR will guarantee that the prize-pool equals 150% of initial buy-ins (fee not included). Adjusted prize-pool will be posted once event is full. Rebuys and add-on points do not change the pot.

That's nuts. You get 100 entrants and $10000 in rebuys and the pots not adjusted? I'm out...

Dad · 02-22-12, 01:53 PM

rebuys should be in the prize pool

SBR is guaranteeing 150% of the initial buy-ins will be distributed to those in the money. So, assuming 100 players show up as with your example, that's a 7,500 SBR Point prize-pool that costs a mere 50 to get in.

That's a far greater deal than any of the contests participated in on a daily basis. If you don't like it, go ahead and sit it out.

i dont have any points to play anyway

...but 150% of initial buyins only isnt good at all. that means if half of the people add on, the prize pool is equal to what it should be.

if there are 100 people and every person rebuys or adds on only once, the 150% prize pool just got cut to 75%

JAKEPEAVY21 · 02-22-12, 03:22 PM

agree that rebuys and addons not being added to the prize pool isn't right...I'm boycotting most likely

tatddy · 02-22-12, 03:35 PM

Lou. Not trying to be difficult and appreciative of the initiative. Just saying that in 8 years of playing cards I've never seen. Rebuy not added to the pool. 100 enter at 2 rebuys each that's a 15000 total not counting add on. In that scenario sbr is taking 7500 rake

GUMMO77 · 02-22-12, 03:40 PM

I know you are adjusting the prize pool once the event has started, but are you also going to adjust the number of payouts? On your example you have 15 players getting paid - does that change based on entrants?

We aren't arguing that guarantees are not a good thing just that if 100 people show up the total buyins (with add-ons and rebuys) will likely be higher then 7500 points (unless a significant portion of players wrongly (or this case correctly?

) only take one shot) and the 150% guarantee will likely never come into play as in any regular rebuy tournament the buyins are going to easily exceed 150% of the initial buyins...

To clarify I've never seen a rebuy tournament setup like this and it creates a both a weird prisoner's dilemma and catch-22 type of situation (where if no-one rebuys everyone would benefit while rebuying obviously benefits individual players who look past the "public good" of not rebuying thus......) While the scenario is interesting and there might be an overlay (again depending on how many play and how they play) I'm not a big fan of been dependent (and likely penalized) on how well great thinkers like TWarrior rationalize the world so I will probably pass as well... Whereas if there was no guarantee and rebuys where included in more traditional way I would likely be playing...

We're going to scrap this thread and roll out an adjusted format based on your feedback in here.
