    Well, I've registered. Whether it'll load up is a different matter. for some reason this PC can be a bit of a pig for some reason and my laptop which I use for playing sky poker threw it's virtual teddy out the pram last night and refuses to switch on.....

    Just saw this and registered just in time after exiting the final table of a Bounty Hunter. It'll be new to me having never played a re-buy before.

    Is this something new that's been enabled by the overnight software upgrade?

    ok i was just wondering if you would be the type to go all in nearly every hand or rarely play a hand till the re buy period is over ;) tough question lol


    tbh it didn't even cross my mind people might get offended.

    NOOOOOOOO! That's a little misleading JJ!

    The Rebuy system is like the "topping-up" function on the Cash Tables. You cannot top up to more than the minimum threshold, if that makes sense.
     
    In other words, if you had 2,000, Posted your  BB for 20, then pressed "Rebuy" (because you were able to, as you were below 2,000) & THEN won the hand, your Rebuy was NOT valid, & your 50p would be refunded immediately.

    That make sense?

    You WOULD have 4k - IF the Rebuy was valid. See my reply to Dohx7, please.

    15 minutes in, & the 242 runner Field is down to 196, but there have been 38 rebuys so far.

    So the £50 Prize Pool is now (£50 + 38 x £0.50) = £69. So far.....;)

    thats a little strange, all other sites I know, you would av 4k, or 3980, and if you won the hand, your rebuy would simply not go through

    yes tikay i did make a massive mistake on the VLV semi.  i levelled myself by thinkign too much about FE while listening to that fish Hartigan and pushed 30bb into cottlad BTN raise....

    good to see you friday, i'm afraid that i didnt last much longer than you....i saw the cash table was opening just as the play resumed after the break so pushed 8k into a 3k pot to bust myself out....82 quid for 1 level of tournie poker i must hate money so much.

    Ahhhh so I was on the right lines and wud normally have had a starting stack of 4k after 1 hand?- Thats whats happened in the rebuys iv played before....

    Must not have noticed I won the hand.

    Il be throwing 20 chips away on purpose nxt time to get my double stack :)

    Glad I played this now just to learn that - the 50p was refunded

    Exactly that. And that's why this "Freeroll Rebuy " is running, so we can all play with it, & see how it works.

    I've just "deliberately engineered" a situation to test out the re-buy functionality.
    It seems pretty smooth.

    Well I may have explained it badly, if so, my apologies, but that's exactly how it works here, too. But Doh WON the hand, so he was never beneath his original 2,000, & as such, his Rebuy was not valid.

    I used to play a lot of Online Rebuys, & it was standard practice at the time to limp fold for 1 x BB the very first hand, simply as a means of allowing the Rebuy immediately.
