    OK, I'll give the example then the suggestion.

    EX: Everybody on table does rebuy. You each have 3,000 chips. You're on button; you raise; everyone folds; now you have 3,045.
    The next hand you get it all in and lose. Now you have 45. You're only allowed to do one rebuy so you will have 1,545. You feel like you lost twice.
    If you play enough of these, I'm sure you've been in a similar situation and it sucks!

    SUGG: Every player should be allowed to start with maximum starting chips at any time in first hour (in example, 3,000 chips). As long as they're willing to pay for it.
    Call it "max reload".
    It puts more money in pool and seems fair to the player that lost hand.

    His suggestion is to avoid having to do this. You basically miss out on 1-3 hands while trying to go broke.

    The OP has a legitimate point, I think. This situation of course could happen as the last hand in the first hour, making it impossible to even get to 3,000 in chips before the add-on.

    i like the idea. I mean, the player would always be getting less chips for his money, but it is much more convenient

    I used to play on a site that had a glitch that allowed you to double rebuy anytime you were all in regardless of the outcome of the hand. It certainly made things interesting lol.

    ex. lets say exactly what soul said... you go all in for 3k on the button now u have 3,045 than the next hand u go all in and u lose and only have 45 chips now .. well guess what what happens when the next hand u dont rebuy cause u want full stack u get a premuim ( has happened to me serveral times ) well what u win and have 90 or u did just do the 1 rebuy and now u had 3,090?? instead of the 6k u would have had if this option was availble?

    This pisses me off so bad!!!!

    But the suggestion is kind of a stretch. I say it is practical only at the last hand during break. So if you take a beat and are left with 45 , you can get back to 3000 chips not 1545

    you rebuy to 1545. the next hand you raise 45 no matter what, if possible you double up and save some money, if not you fold and rebuy the next hand. you only lose one hand at a full stack.

    This happened to me yesterday in the 5r with 25 add on I went all in on the last hand before the break with like 4125 with KQ got called for 4k by 99 and lost. And couldnt rebuy to 4k and then get the 5k add on so I started with 7125 instead of 9k after the break I was mad.

    Yes, but what sucks is that one hand you miss, you wake up with a big hand that would have gotten you a big stack if you were in for the full amount..

    Doesn't pokerstars have the auto full rebuy on cash games? That would sure make things interesting in tournaments... people would be spending a lot more cash.
