When playing a $50+5 on stars, beginning with 3k and having a 10k stack at addon time, would you take it? It adds 48% to your buying and 30% to your stack.

The only time I don't add on is when I have a huge stack from 1 buy in, because when I cash the prize is twice as big, relative to investment. With a 10k stack, and a 3k add on, I take it because my stack is going to decrease in value if I don't. I hope this question spawns an interesting discussion about ev here, because the logic is beyond my realm tbh. I'd be curious to know if it's ever a mistake to add on. | |

Yeah always buy the addon as long as it's bigger than a rebuy, it's about $ per chip not % of stack. Same reasoning as to why you should be looking at getting to addon stage as cheaply as possible especially in 3x's | |

It's the same as the original chips in that tournament though. | |

In Tournament Poker for Advanced Players (I think, might be a different book), Sklansky says always add on. | |

it depends on the blinds when i decide to add-on ! what were the blinds on the next level? | |

Maybe I'm a cheapskate but I try to avoid addons if possible. | |

I do not know how many players in your tournament. Here is my take... |

I always add on. It equals a few less steal attempts which may go pear shaped. | |

to me this is kinda of icm decision(chip mode) if the extra chips increase your tournament equity by an amt that makes it worth it then you do it if not then you dont |
