Early Rebuys on Ipoker!

Shortstack

From 00.01 on Nov 27th you will be able to rebuy when you have equal to or less than your starting chips in all Ipoker rebuy tournaments.

I think this is great as prize pools will now be much much bigger.

What do people think? Any predictions on what size prizepool will now be attained in the $10+$1 $30k Gtd or the $50+$5 $35k Gtd?

Defo a big improvement. Not a regulat mtt player these days so not sure what affect it would have on the prizepools, I would think you are talking possibly 40% increase or so but that's just a quick intuitive guess.

Good news. Can be fustrating when you have 200 chips left and you just have to shove them in every hand until u get a rebuy.

I think this is a step in the right direction. As for the Gtd's they prob won't change that much for awhile as theres been an overlay for the last few nights.
Now is there anything you can do about the payout structure i.e. in the 200k on sunday last 850+ runners and 100 get paid, more than 10% of the field. First payout level places 80-100 was $170ish with a buy in of $200+$20 not even money back :eek: whats the point in that?

Also last sat night in the $10 30k Gtd 1400+ runners and top 100 get paid.

Payout structure has changed already, there should be no more payouts less than original buy in:

nice one, with a rebuy tourney i would always buy in for the max at the start ie. $20 in the $10rebuy. I think a lot of people will now do the same on ipoker. Should lead to higher prize pools:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Sounds good,

In a way rebuys are now similar DC tourneys,
A $10 RB could be played as a $20 DC, top up on or after the first hand

At last, was always frustrating when losing a decent pot and being stuck on a couple of hundred chips.

only saw this now.....niccccceeeeee.

Just stuck some cash on I-Poker in anticipation...this will make the tourneys on it worth playing imo.

Mike,

Just playing a couple of rebuys now and the only problem i see, is that you cant rebuy before the tournie starts, like you can on stars. You have to wait until you play 1 hand.

Can this be fixed so you can rebuy and receive double chips straight away?

I will pass it on to them. Don't see why not but not sure how difficult it is to implement.

Went nuts in one myself, did round $80 in a $10 omaha rebuy which was 3000 starting and 3000 rebuy :eek:

The dealer looks like she's soliciting for tips.

OT
I wish my filter options could be saved from last session as ive just had an awful time trying to get knocked out of a limit tournament i accidentally registered for.
