Over on the BARGE mailing list someone mentioned that there’s a technique some folks are using on PartyPoker that I hadn’t heard of before so I thought I would share. Basically, if you push all-in in a re-buy tournament, while your chips are still in the pot, you show zero remaining chips which would allow you to re-buy. If you win, you not only win the pot but you’re credited with the re-buy chips too. So to lay that out:

You have $2000 in chips and you can only rebuy if you go below $1000. You push all-in and then request a re-buy before the hand is decided. You rebuy $1000 in chips and you win the pot un-contested so you pick up the blinds ($90 – assuming $30/$60 blinds). You now have your original $2000 + $90 in blinds + $1000 in re-buy chips, for a total of $3090.

I would imagine that this works even if you’re not all-in but your current bet puts you temporarily below the re-buy threshold.

Works like a charm. Not too hard to build a massive stack if you’re willing to put about 6-7 buy-ins in. I find this works best in the 30 rebuy. At that level you’ll have people using the trick, but not as muchas they might at lower buy-ins. All of that said, all you’re doing is getting rid of the early luck factor in the tournament and you still have to play hard after the rebuy break. Also, I’ve seen guys try this trick the wrong way and push with marginal hands just to do the rebuy. Bad idea.

This works on Pokerstars too, in the cash games – if you go all in and rebuy while your opponent is trying to make a decision, you get the rebuy $ + the pot if you win it.

I’ll confirm Maigrey’s comment, playing against a couple of regulars on the $100 and $200 NLO8 tables they’ll push with the first A2sXX hand they find (VERY rarely do they get called), rebuy, and volia double their stack making it tough to play against them.
