Re-buy tournaments can be a great deal for your buy-in dollar. With players re-buying and adding to the prize pool, the ratio of buy-in to prize pool will be better than a regular tournament. These tournaments play a little differently, especially in the early going. Play is aggressive as players try to double up and build a chip stack. They know they can buy-in again, so they throw caution to the wind.

You should bring at least three-buy-ins with you when you play one of these tournaments. A good trick is to stay out of the action until you’ve been in the big blind once. As soon as that hand is over you can re-buy, giving you an instant chip lead and twice as any chips as the other players (minus the big blind of course). And don’t be shy about raising big pairs pre-flop; you’ll get action on them.
