OPRed villian from that hand and hes the best kind of opponent: A guy who was a small stakes player and hit a big tourney score and is now jumping into the big tourneys....God thats great to see.Btw, I mentioned to Eddie a while ago that I seem to run great at Stars and horrible at FT, and thats continued time and time again over the past few months. Just seems crazy to me. Sample size is pretty large too.
I've found similar results too at around $15-30 buy in games on FTP as well. I've find the tournament play weaker on FTP, those players seem to be much more agressive and I'd guess the variance is higher because of that and you get a lot more bad beats which mini-tilts me often.

in the money(27 left) in the $109rebuy now, but I'm a fairly short stack
Generally, how many rebuys do you allow yourself?
As many as I need, although I'll usually not rebuy in the last 15 minutes just because it makes little sense to rebuy for 3000 chips when the average stack is now 6000+. Usually I just use the standard buy in+immediate rebuy+add on for 3. Obviously sometimes 5 if I get stacked. 7 is extremely rare...honestly can't remember the last time I spent 7 buy ins, although I do remember one PLO $50rebuy in which I spent something ridiculous like 11(and still didn't cash).Only tourney left for tonight is the $320, I'm currently 39/112 and it starts paying at 90.
 
I'm hoping that with all the pro's in the wsop tourneys this weekend that the normal casino ones are crushable. I'll be finding a place to play a $50 tourney on Friday before heading over to the venetian.

 
in the money in the $320 now...at least $574, 90 left
Insanity.
This is a crazy crazy run man...cashed in last 6 tourneys including 3(maybe 4) final tables....don't think I've ever ran this well.
So happy for you. Keep up the good work. Keep an eye out for entitlement.
Thanks man, and yea I totally agree that I need to stay focused now more than ever.

I chopped in two small stakes rebuy tournaments, where the rebuys were only $20. My strategy was to get as much cash on the table as possible. I would generally go all in with any pocket pair, flopped pair or two high cards for the first fifteen minutes. I'd either get lucky and double or triple up, then lock down, or just keep going into the wallet. This tends to have a snowball effect because you'll get called by anyone at the table and it tends to loosen up the game in general. I played this way because it was fun as hell. Theoretically, your table should have an advantage if you can get far more chips in play versus others. I'd often buy 10-15 rebuys in the first 30 minutes with the goal of having a stack of at least 4X the buyin. Sometimes it worked. I remember once I spent about $240 on rebuys and then got moved right before the break -- just after I rebought. I probably averaged 8 rebuys. Although I got to two final tables this way out of maybe twelve of these, I'd wager that I was close to break even overall. I guess the question would be how and where the math breaks down. If you're just concerned with trying to final table and win an individual tournament, I'd say just get cash on the table. Negreanu has bought like 20 rebuys at time. But I'm just wondering where the long-term break even point is. Sounds reasonable that this would be above the minimum but less than maybe eight. I'd love to read a real study of this. Because the more money you spend, the more your chances of obtaining an impressive stack before the break, which must translate to an edge... But where that edge becomes -EV is interesting. Give your success of late, I'll just assume that 5-7 is a healthy range.
I'm not a fan of the strategy, and I think 5-7 ON AVERAGE is way too high. I think your average should be at most 3.5, but I understand that I play a tighter style than most.
 
a couple of years ago, josh arieh won a bracelet in a rebuy event - he used something like 28 rebuys. must be nice to be able to throw around that much money for one tournament.

 
in the money in the $109 on Stars now, making it SEVEN STRAIGHT CASHES!! :scared: :pickle: :pickle:

Oh and yeah I overslept the WSOP event today...got to bed late and just didn't feel like playing tired.

 
busted out of the $162, so my consecutive streak will end today, although I can get it up to 8 by cashing in the $109rebuy since that started before the $162

Simply tremendous, Assani.

Just a stunning level of success.

You are a poker rock star, fantastic story teller and a great guy.

Another few days of this, and we will be talking icy pots paintings again.

Assani and Ediie,

Sorry I didnt get a chance to meet up with you guys This week. I spent a lot of time at the RIO sweating my buddy and his wife.

He final tabled the 1500.00 6 handed event, finishing 5th for 70,000 and she finished 40th in the ladies event for just over 3000.00

Both thier first wsop, and they both cashed...

Was an unreal time!

Next time though!!!
