I played in a $0.20 rebuy comp tonight. 3 min levels and 1 hour rebuys at $0.20 for 3000 chips to a max of 6000.. crazy! Due to the low price to buy back in it goes crazy - lol. I got a run of strong starting hands and doubled up a few times and was up and down a bit for most of the hour and decided to take a couple of chances towards the end of the rebuy period as it was only 20 cents and I hadn't spent any money on rebuys yet.. I doubled up a few more times and didn't need the rebuy. I added on 15,000 chips for another 20 cents at the add on as it was a large amount of chips. I had a good run after that and made the final table and eventually took it down to win 1st place! So - $0.40 buy in over all. $10.00 win. Nice.
I think if you go bust then these 20 cent games could definitely get you started again with a stake! GL all.

Great return on your investment here and we all wish we could do this every time we play. I dont like playing these rebuy tournaments because it is a total lottery until the rebuy period is over. These games are not for me but well done again to you

Yea - even worse with 3 min blinds... it's still a lottery after the buy in is over as the blinds are about 12000 already.. lol. However - you can pick premium hands to go in with... WATCH!!! carefully to see which players at the table are calling/shoving with air... so you can pick your opponents.. and of course... you need to get a bit of luck. The whole game was over in about an hour and 40 mins.

At least now you have more bullets to play more of these, if played in large number they can be a great way to boost up your bankroll!
Yea - I could play a load more... but as dt777 pointed out... they can be a bit of a pain to play in as they are a bit of a lottery. I will def try one again soon though for a bit of a laugh.
So - $0.40 buy in over all. $10.00 win. Nice.
