Re-Entry VS. Re-Buy
Does anyone know about re-entry tournaments? I'm thinking of playing one in the wsop circuit that's going around and I don't really understand the difference.
There is an Event 2A, then an Event 2B on the following day, and then day 3 after that. So I'm guessing if I bust out of Event 2A, I can play 2B the next day. Unlike a rebuy, where you can just buy back in immediately. Do the people that DIDN'T bust out of 2A also play 2B or do they just wait for day 3?
Also, what are the best strategies for playing this type of tournament?
I'm thinking this type of tournament would be good for my aggressive style as I'd have a safety next to get back in if I went too crazy....but is uberaggressive the best mode for this tournament?
I know NOTHING and I need to know EVERYTHING. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Spank you very much.
And since I'm asking questions - an interesting situation came up during my league finale game. They were down to 3 peeps, two shorties and a big stack. Let's say prizes were 1K, 600 and 200 for third. One of the shorties wanted a deal that whoever wound up 2nd and 3rd they'd split 2nd and 3rd prize for 400each. The chipleader woudn't agree to this. Then the 2 shorties said they'd agree to it among themselves regardless of what the chipleader thought - assuming the 2 shorties didnt win, obv. Can they make that sort of agreement, without all 3 being in agreement? They DID. I just wonder if such an agreement would be kosher in a real poker room.
Play smart.

Re-entry.. re-buy.. I hate them all. Just play good the first time. :). A kid just won the WSOP in Florida on a re-entry. He busted out day 1A and won from day 1B. Beat a girl on the final table so it was not tough or anything. XD.
If a kid can do it, I can do it.
I commented on rebuys recently in a Mojo comment: http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=180192357104553952&postID=2303649304187589663
I've also talked about the subject in past blogs. You could search.
Reentry is a recent phenomenon. It covers a defined period -- often the first hour/blind. Doing A then B is subject to house rules and will vary based on that. At least that's my understanding. The main event doesn't provide for that and eliminates buying a second day.
Sorry you ran into it. Those guys are luckboxes who need to catch hands like the Inquisition to have a chance against you. :-)
Every play one? Strategy any diff?
The big difference i know between Re-Buy and Re-Entry is that you pay the rake again in the reentry and in rebuy u do not. Also in reentry you will be given a different table/seat. More details here in this link,

@pokerished, thanks very much for the link - very very helpful. sounds like good action - this is at ac but not borgata - ceasars. TYVM
I think the key here is that you're stuck in a longer tourney since a lot of players will reenter. Play on day 2 will just like a freezeout tourney.
i assume u know but rebuys have their own strat, dump ai 3 way hope to tripple up, if not..double rebuy and rinse/repeat..so budget for 5 buy ins if want to go down that line i personally fucking hate them and prefer 1-2rebuy and 1 addon
best to find out but gl

Day 1 plays until they reach a pre-determined number of players. Day 2 has all new players (or ones who busted out in day 1) and they play to whatever level and minutes that they did in day 1.
On day 3, they combine all the players who survived day 1 or day 2. Your chips stack is whatever you had when play ceased, so that is fair for all.
I think tournaments like this are +EV because so many players enter both days and they are often the weaker players. Weaker players putting more money in the prize pool is exactly what you want.
They often do a tournament of this type on the first two days (usually Friday and Saturday) to pull players in. Those who can't make it by Friday can still play in the first event and it's a big one (money-wise).
Have you decided how you are going to tackle this beast yet? Or what the actual re-entry rules are?
Is it within so many levels or can you jump into the 2nd day if you busted the 1st day?
Looking forward to you taking this beast down!
just making a request for more pics of josie in teh next blog post =(
lol fboy, funny you should mention it, my sister cut my hair last night and i took some pictures this morning to send my friend - i suppose i could post my hair pics. :)
However, the tournament seemed to enjoy it more on the second time, and I have to admit, I did last quite a bit longer that second time.
