Hey guys, been awhile. I wanted some opinions on this. I'm going to play day 1 of a $150* $50k guaranteed 2 day tournament tomorrow night that has 2 add-ons and I don't think I've seen something like the 2nd one before.
For $150 you get T10k, the standard $10 staff appreciation add on gets you an additional T10k, and a 2nd optional $50 add on gets you a chip that you can redeem at the table, at any time including the hand after you bust, for T20k.
The tourney starts out at 25/50 and on day 1 you play 18 20 minutes (hand shuffled), 10 handed levels ending at T1k/T3k/T6k.
When do you redeem the 20k chip?
Do you start with 40k, use it as a 2nd bullet, redeem at a specific level, use it if you get to a specific chip stack?
My instinct is start with more chips, but they aren't really going to be worth much that early either so a free rebuy sounds nice. I also don't see anything in the flyer that suggests you have to redeem before registration ends, so it looks like you could save it until day 2. You'd be extremely short, but it might get you an orbit to sneak past a bubble or pay jump.
Thoughts?
