i'm at the bottom end of the sky poker food chain, i mainly have one game a night in £5.50 bounty hunters sometimes saterlite into the £33 bounty hunter and a few turbo sngs,i try to avoid re-buys mainly because i dont trust myself, is it a money making exercise for sky or do people enjoy them? i can see the benefit of a re-buy in the first couple of rounds, but after about 5 or 6 rounds you only seem to re-buy to go all-in, in the mega bounty hunter last sunday, there a couple of players who must have re-buyed about a dozen times between them in the time just before it closed they seemed to in all-in all the time and it seems that the more you re-buy you have got go deep in the tournement to get anywhere near the money youve put in. i just wonder what the poker elite think of re-buys?

Well I'm not "the poker elite" so I can't comment on the real thrust of your question, but I will pick up on two of your points;
1) You are far from the "bottom of the Sky Poker food chain". Many players spend far less than you do, in fact some players ONLY play Freerolls & have never deposited. So you are a valuable customer to Sky Poker as you play every night & presumably deposit now & then.
2) Not sure how rebuys are "a money making exercise" for Sky Poker - Sky Poker don't "rake" the rebuys, they only rake the original entry. So a player can rebuy 50 times but Sky Poker don't earn a penny from those rebuys, it all goes back to the players.
High buy-in. Just the 1 buy-in and an add-on. If I'm out early, no rebuy.
Low buy-in. Immediate rebuy (particularly if it is a Bounty Hunter). If busto early, only rebuy/double rebuy if table is weak. Rarely rebuy in late stages. Add-on.
Hope that helps
