I’ll be playing my first multi table no limit tourney this coming week. It would be an $80 buy in tourney with unlimited $50 re buys for the first 90 minutes and additional $50 add on for the next 90 minutes. I heard there’ll be four qualifying sessions with approximately 250 players. Those who can make it to the top 25 can then proceed to the final stage.

By the way, blinds move up every 15 minutes, which I believe is quicker than usual. Now my questions would be:

1. With the way the blinds move up, should I re buy immediately or else just wait till I lose a number?
2. Say I have a decent stack, should I still use the add on to eventually increase my stack a bit?
3. I’m a tight aggressive type, do you think I should loosen up a little?
4. In order to boost my odds of making it till the end, must I play in more than one qualifier session? Also, should I make use of my entire cash to re buy and then add on? Approximately, I have $350 intended for the upcoming tourney.

I hope to hear from you in no time.

Thanks a lot!

Thresher,

1. I would rebuy immediately. Many people will to give them more chips to play to start with.
   
2. It depends on how much the add-on adds to your stack. If the add on will add 20% or more to your stack, then take it. If it will not, it won’t add much value to your stack.
   
3. During the rebuy period, absolutely. You can play tight, but if you don’t catch any cards, you won’t build any chips. Loosen up a bit. If you bust out, rebuy!
   
4. Actually, I would play no more than 2 qualifying sessions if I were you. If you have $350 intended for the tournament, then use as much as it takes to give you a good chance to win. If you do well without rebuying in or needing to rebuy, save the money.
