I see that they most tourneys have re-buys in their format, I perfer no re-buys, but how long can you re-buy? Or is there a limit of # re-buys? Thanks for any response!

  1. Usually you can rebuy until the first break, which is typically 2 hours

  2. And usually rebuys are unlimited but sometimes they are limited to one or two

  3. @BigDog223 2 hours of donkey play is ok with me ;) thanks for the response, I'm in biolxi fir the 1st time trying to find a decent game

  4. I tend to agree. Seems like most rebuy periods last until the first break, and are unlimited. But I am seeing a lot fewer rebuys and a lot more re-entries these days. Good luck in Biloxi!

  5. Can someone clarify the difference between a re buy and reentry? I heard some people use the terms interchangeably.

  6. @orcusvox Re-buy means you don't move seats or anything where Reentry means you are begining like you just walked up for the 1st time and getting in the tourney

  7. @orcusvox They are used interchangeably incorrectly. In addition to what @wingnut101 said the more important difference is the fact that rake is applied to reentries and usually not to rebuys. Which is why rebuys are much less common now.

  8. Thanks for the answers. I haven't played many tournaments.
