I think that tournaments like EPT shouldn't have rebuy-in because it's not fair. Tones of players will play because they have fought in satellites against thousands of people, so they only have one opportunity. Otherwise, the pros are so rich that play aggressively at first becase they perfectly know they have more opportunities.

I like this kind of format.. If you get busted on day 1 you still can reenter .. Makes travel costs less important.. Sucks to go bust in the first hand in a foreing city.. Lol

Wish i had the money to play in the EPT.. I'm not a big fan of the WPT structure. As for the rebuy structure, I could care less either way.. I like the idea because it makes the prize pool, but it has its cons too. Someone mentioned earlier that people who have competed in Live and Online Sats for the tourny only get one shot at it, where the pros have the bankroll to rebuy.. also, what happens when you bust both days? Someone like me would have just lost a ton of money, due to travel costs and 2 buy-ins. However, back to the pros of the rebuy structure, it makes for 2 - 4 days of awesome live poker.
