    When did they decide to do this? I think it is a pretty awesome idea, I almost wish it was unlimited rebuys though. If we can start requesting them to change to this maybe some of the players with bigger bankrolls can help influence a unlimited R/A tournament.

    That's what most casinos do. So you can think of it as a different kind of skill than your crazy shit 12 auto rebuys.

    I think they through this in b/c they are coming up slightly short on the 1 million guarantee and this will most definately cover it.

    obv, but it doesn't bother me too much because there will be tons of dead money with this with all the people who won't rebuy/add-on.

    also double buying will give you 5K in chips?

    if so this tourney just got sweeter and definately more beatable....

    This is the best idea for the sunday tourney ever conceived. PS does it again. Unlimited rebuys would be a really bad idea. Alot of people satellite into these things, and if it was unlimited rebuys, they would not get nearly as many players playing their satellites, and therefore the overall field would be less.

    One rebuy and one addon is perfect. It satisfies the deep bankrolled players by giving them a slight edge, and it keeps the satelliters coming.

    Cannot stress enough how much unlimited rebuys for this tourney is bad in general, especially for PS. Pretty sure they won't make it unlimited......and it would turn into a deep BR tourney only, and the guarantee would shrinnnnnkkkk.

    not surprised considering thats a big holiday weekend plus wsop's events- they need to cover there asses to make the guarantee. probably will keep it like this until wsop's over then resume normal schedule.

    Hello P5ers,
    I just deployed this tournament this morning. I'm glad to see the response here is favorable and that for the most part everyone seems to like the one rebuy rule. Because of the extra chips in play, we will now be running 34 levels instead of 31 levels. We'll see how the tournament goes on July 2nd and decide from there what to do with it.

    Cheers,

    I think its a bad idea and so was raising there guarentee
    If it aint broke don't fix it
    They would have been better off creating a new tuorney rather then messing with there old one

    Don't forget Bel0w and pbdrunks...they might win the whole thing...but rebuy hour they'd put their whole bankroll in!

    if you satellite multiple entries to this tourney would it be possible to use the other entries as rebuy/addon?

    I assume multiple entries would be given to you as T$ that could be used to rebuy/addon or play any other tourny.
