Watching a friend of mine in a LIMIT MTT with REBUYS on Stars last night. One guy raises or re-raises EVERY hand pre-flop. Then, if he caught ANY part of the flop, or had any POSSIBLE draw, he would raise or re-raise, or cap ALL THE WAY TO THE RIVER.Now, he loses often and rebuys about a dozen times. Finally he starts catching his miracle cards and builds his stack up to over 8000. I start berating him (mostly to try to shake him up for my friends' benefit) about his play. He's telling me to shut up since I don't understand the strategy.This is what "set me off" so to speak. This is not a strategy. Raising and re-raising EVERY HAND and maxing the bets if you flop anything at all is NOT a strategy...it's playing the Poker Stars Lottery. If you hit, you hit. If not, you play the same game again. This is not a strategy. Here's why: if he was given the option of putting 300 of his chips in BEFORE looking at his cards, and then getting to see all of the community cards, he would. This is playing the lottery....Funny ending (to me, at least). He blows his 8000 stack down to 1600 with 2 minutes before the break. (He continued to play the same way even though he had 8000). Anyway, he starts folding hand after hand and finally the break comes... but he still has 1600....SO HE CAN ONLY ADD-ON, NOT RE-BUY and then add-on!!!He realizes this too late and I giggle my ass off when he gets knocked out with KK.Long post, but does anyone think this is a "Strategy"? If so, boy, the dynamics of this strategy are REALLLLLLLY hard to learn!
