What do people use as bankroll requirements for re-entries; i generally go with the same for Rebuys which at the moment is 300 buyins?

Also is it okay to continue to re-enter until late reg finishes? So many sites have the late reg time so long that you can re-enter with like 10 big blinds. I hate doing this but feel like i am robbing myself the opportunity to make money if i only re-enter once?

Kind of similar questions so ill ask hear, what about leg registering in freeze out tournaments, do you have a limit on when you enter like 50 big blinds, 30 big blinds etc? I generally use the 20% of the average stack size, so with a 5K stacking stack i can enter until the average stack is 6K

Thanks

The Re-Entry tournaments are the same as registering to another tournament of the same buy-in so taking the re-entry shouldn't had no impact at. If you are rolled to play that buy-in you should re-enter with no BR concerns.

For rebuys it's more of a personal choice. Just remember that a lot of times you should consider the add-on so a 10$ rebuy tournament might end up being at least a 20$ tournament. See if that fits your BRM and take that into account. I tend to re-enter as long as that seems profitable. I'm confident in my short stack game so I have no problem entering when it gets close to late reg finish. I'm more concerned in giving up the EV of the tournament by not rebuying. I usually try to rebuy, take the add on and play a freezeout from there.

300 buy-ins overall I feel it's completely unnecessary but if that works for you great. You should also use your Bankroll as a mental shield. If you can't handle loosing 20buy-ins on a bad day when you only play with 100BB because that represents 1/5 of your total BR than play with 300. That way the same losing day represents 1/15 of your bankroll and it would be almost unnoticeable.

Anyway as long as you are a winning player on your stakes you shouldn't go broke with 100, so 100 or more it's just a personal option.

A $10 rebuy can easily cost you around 5x the buyin so around $50 which obviously means we need to have many more buyins in out Bankroll and unfortunately re-enter games are basically like Rebuys. What bankroll do you use for Freezeout and Rebuys?

I totally agree which what you say about giving up on EV of not re-entering which is why I feel compelled to re-enter but don't you think you have less EV when buying in for sub 15 big blinds compared to starting a new tournament?

Thanks for the comments

Yes, absolutely. When you re-enter that late and that shortstacked, you are giving up a lot of the edge you have over micro stakes players. Think about it this way: would you regularly choose to play tournaments with 15bb starting stacks?

People feel compelled to re-enter (or rebuy) very late because of the sunk costs fallacy: the belief that the money and time you've already invested in the tournament justifies spending more time and money to stay in the tournament, even when it isn't advantageous to do so. You're much better off using that buy-in to enter a new tournament from the beginning.

Agree but also depends on the add on and the impact it has. You can rebuy to stay alive and reach the add-on if it's close and you see it justifies. Then a freezout with bigger payouts starts and sometimes you can reach that with 40BB's after add-on which is still a solid stack to capitalize if you have an edge. But it's indeed hard to really calculate the EV of those late decisions. You'll be playing a tournament where a big % of the pool has already left a lot of dead money into the pot but it also costs you 2 more buy-ins. It's a judgment call

True, that is the one exception.

Just so i have a frame of reference what no. of buyins to people use for Rebuys/re-entry games?

And when do they finish late registering/re-entering?

Thanks
