Rebuy Poker

Most of the mainstream poker tournaments follow a freezeout format which simply means that once a player runs out of chips, they are out of the tournaments. However, in a rebuy tournament, the rules are bent, and you can buy more chips and find yourself back in the poker game

Many online poker sites offer such exciting tournaments. At Spartan Poker, you will find many tournaments that follow the free rebuy or add-on format. Log on to our online poker tournaments page to get in on the action.

Types of Rebuys

Different rebuy tournaments have different rules. In some, you can rebuy as many times as you wish to and in certain you can only rebuy your chips at certain stages of the game.

In other tournaments, there are specific add-on periods in which everyone at the poker table can buy more chips, once this period is over the chance expires and the rest of the tournament is a freezeout tournament.

Find all the details regarding the rebuy period announced in the tournament lobby.

So, the question is how can you make the most of rebuy poker? We have outlined a strategy that will come in handy when you find yourself in a rebuy format!

Rebuy Poker Strategy

The 3 Main Factors that you Should Keep in Mind When it Comes to Rebuys:

  1. The first thing to consider is your budget. When you go into a tournament that has the option of rebuying, you should be prepared to rebuy. You definitely don’t want to find yourself short-stacked when everyone else at the tables is rebuying chips. If for example, the tournament has a buy-in of 100 rupees then you should budget for 300 to 500 rupees for the whole tournament.
     
  2. When it comes to a normal freezeout tournament, you will notice that people play tighter, especially in the early stages of the game. As opposed to this, when the rebuy is small, players will go all-in from the get-go. Even with small pairs or maybe a high card. This can easily be turned into an opportunity for you to get some chips. Here, your strategy should be blending in without calling too much. You could maybe dabble in a few raises and bluffs or an occasional all-in. Gradually as the rebuys set in and bets will get bigger. This way, when you score a big hand, your opponents will take a chance, and you can grab the prize pool!
     
  3. Once the rebuy period is over you should know how to play the freezeout. In this period, you need to observe your opponents and see if and how their strategy changes. Keep in mind how many add on they have taken, how many chips they have compared to the blinds and the average stacks at the table. Also, note whether they are playing differently than before.

If you wrap your head around all these points, you will surely find your way to the final table closer and closer to the ultimate pot.
