I get the reasons why this is a positive for good grinders and players. I've just personally had a few bad experiences with maniacs at rebuy events. For me personally, I'm just a semi decent rec player who has a wife and 2 kids, so for me there isn't a built up bankroll to fire a bunch of bullets.
If I'm taking $500 out of doing something fun with my kids to play a tournament, I don't want to be sitting there watching someone with deep pockets literally shoving every hand for the first X levels. I get that can still happen in a freeze out and so on.
I get that if I had aces and lost to a maniac shoving pre with J4 off that it happens X% of the time and so on, but the overall experience is dulled for me, because that kind of money is a treat to myself only.
Maybe one of these days I'll try it again and see if my experience is better.
