Yes, i try to play without rebuy. May be i mistakes, but i think that if i have to rebuy - i`m to bad for this tournament.
I think, overall it's a good way of thinking: the less you spend on your entertainment with gambling, the better. I myself do rebuys, but not more than once.
In my practice, rebuy just helped me to play to the final table. May be i have not enough experience but i never got enough prize to get a profit with rebuy.
No, no, I'm sure you have enough of experience. It happens to everyone: if you do couple of rebuys and you take the last paid place - your profit is negative. Again, I think it's a good practice to do rebuys as as rarely as possible.
Interesting. I'm using exactly the same tactic, and it works most of the time. It doesn't work only when your opponent has a really good hand. Then, of course, he calls your bluff and you lose.
With good hand we can do nothing the most of the time. We only have a chance with bluff i think. But with bluff we have the same chance to lose all we have. Bluff can become a deadly mistake.
From my experience, if you bluff but your opponent has a pair of Aces, he calls. Let alone he has something better.
Mostly - yes, he calls, but if we use the bluff we have a chance he folds. In the other way we can wait river and see how he bets. Of course, we have a chance even in such situation, but it is very rare situation.
There's always a chance he folds even with something like a straight thinking you have a better straight, or a flush. But normally you don't fold such cards because the probability of your opponent having a better hand is small.
