Can tournament have add-ons and do not have rebuys?

[Ammon]

I was wondering if there are such type of tournaments that have no rebuy period, but do have add-ons. The platforms I usually frequent(PP, PS, GG) do not have these - or I'm not exactly observant.

Such tournaments as you have in mind are really rare, I have never seen such tournaments in online poker, but in offline poker there are.

I have never heard of a tournament with this kind of structure so I would guess they don't exist.

I have also not heard about such a format. I think, the main idea with the R+A format is to generate a lot of action and rebuys, and not allowing rebuys would definitely go against this.

yes, of course, not quite so. there are tournaments on pokerstars where only 1 rebuy and addon are used. and this is a very good approach in my opinion. endless re-buys and reentries seem unprofitable to me

Freezeout tournaments are a type of tournament in which the player, losing all his chips, cannot make a re-purchase, and therefore leaves the game. In these types of tournaments, you cannot make a rebuy or add-on. Such tournaments are found in almost every big series like SCOOP or similar series !!!!

You could, technically, not re-buy and just take the add-on. That's basically what I do, but I always buy-in late, right before re-buy period ends.

I just watched the tournaments on pokerstars and did not see any rebuy or re-entries in the Hot and Big tournaments !!!

Tournaments

Hello, I think the game will be better equilibrium, if there are no add-ons, will discipline the players and be more interesting.

So once a month I host a physical home game which counts a leaderboard through the entire year.
The game we play is NLHE and it is kind of a "Semi-Freezout" tournament that each player is allowed to make 1 rebuy, and no addons allowed. Once the player is out, and theres no more rebuy, he/she is out and that will be his/her final position in the game.

Initial stack 25k
initial blinds 100/200
9th blind (after break) 2k/4k - game cant last more than 3h30
rebuy stack 25k

The rule for 2024 is that if you have less than 5k chips at break you can make your rebuy if you didnt use it so far.
Next year (2025) we're thinking on maybe changing some rules but we don't want to make it unfair between the players.

Our questions is about adding the option to make the Addon for those who didn't use their 1 optional rebuy.
At break should the ones who have less than 25k be able to make a rebuy if they didnt use theirs?
If yes, what about someone that has 26k chips? isn't it unfair to see someone with 24k making the rebuy and you cant? maybe then making it ass well for those who have more than 25k and didnt use theirs?
But then if the rebuy/addon is allowed won't this make the biggest players be even bigger?
in the other hand, if you didnt make the rebuy, is because you played well and deserve a reward, dont you?
SO MANY QUESTIONS!
Can you guys help me? Once the rule is applied for the year it is significantly hard to change
So what do you think? no add-ons? or yes go for addon?

I don’t know what exactly you’re looking for, there are 23 types of poker on PokerStars, look there, maybe you’ll find it.

I have never seen such tournaments in online poker before.

I managed to understand your question, but I suppose you can refer to the fact that some rooms return the rake to you, in that case it would depend on the room because not all of them do it

Honestly, I don't know

 

[besttest11]

Never seen that

I support add-ons, but the endless rebuy option is mostly designed for fools who go all-in every round, re-buy, and then, based on 'the money talks' principle, they will soon have the most chips with favorable hands.
I usually avoid such tournaments because I don't feel like getting annoyed by the many clown's "strategy".
+1 Add-on option is supportable I think.
