    we arent talking about making them all rebuys, just the tournies such as the primo, BH and skyroller etc. and i think you will find that a rebuy option on primo wouldnt see people playing crazy poker like everyone associates with rebuys. its £50 a throw. i just think it would be useful if you take a real bad beat to have the option to get more chips. 1 rebuy or Addon in my opinion would be good for primo. unlimited rebuys in the thursday bounty hunter would be amazing.

    and late reg is a must. even if its just 30 mins. would be most useful and get more runners into the tournament.

    Nice Thread Roulette Queen. 

    Totally agree, Late reg would be awesome and a massive +1 to the Primo and BH being a 1 max rebuy, would bump the prizepool even more and attract more players. 

    P.S. Lol_Raise is on fire with his ideas atm, good work, keep it up!!

    I think if the starting stacks in primo were increased, it would gove more play in the first hour or two then it wont need a rebuy. Like the idea of it though hursty:)

    a rebuy in the primo just means I do my nuts quicker in that comp!

    i think 1rebuy maximum, no addons would be good (but would have to be no extra rake on the rebuy) late reg. is a must imo

    I'm 100% behind late registration, it would eliminate most overlay (saving Sky money), as well as boosting fields and prize funds. I frequently use late registration on other sites. 

    As someone who doesn't play in The Primo (brag; only played in it once, got 4th) I'm not really qualified to comment, but I think making it a rebuy might be controversial and deter a lot of the current players from entering. Perhaps this is an idea that warrants a one-off trial to see how it goes. Either way, it's about time that Sky fell in line with the industry standard and dropped the rake on rebuys. I'm sure the reason the re-buy Bounty Hunter tournaments were a total disaster is because they charged a 15% rake on both the entry fee and the rebuys, a rebuy Primo would be much more likely to suceed if there was no rake charged on rebuys.
