More about the Regina tournament...
Dave,
Sorry to keep berating you with questions about the Station Classic... I'm pretty excited about it tho. It's coming up really soon! :shock:
I emailed Casino Regina and unfortunately didn't hear back, I also searched the web. Then I realized that maybe a 2-time winner would know the answers to my questions, or be able to direct me to them.
What are the rebuy/add-on policies for the limit and NL hold'em tourneys?
Also, how many starting chips do you get, and how many do you get to add-on?
Also, what are the levels like? Do they increase particularly quickly/slowly relative to the # of starting chips?
And finally, I read in one of your articles that the room is non-smoking. I prefer that, despite the fact that I smoke. How long and how often are the breaks for us pathetic smokers?
I realize that's a lot of info. to ask for... if you only want to take the time to answer one or two I'll understand lol. Thanks for your help.

Three time winner... but who's counting.
I am going from memory...
Limit hold'em. Start with $1000. Re-buy in the first level if $1000 or less. Second level $2000 or less. Third and fourth level $3000 or less. Re-buy gets you $1000 chips. Unconditional add-on gets you $2000.
No-limit is the same structure but with the a chip amounts being bigger ?($2000 starting?)
It is Tex's Tears format. You can get the details at pokerpages.com (http://www.pokerpages.com/pokerinfo/texstears/structures.htm).
There is never a double one level to the next. After the re-buy period the levels are 1/2 hour each.
Every hour and a half.
Good luck. I will be arriving just before the stud tournament on Wednesday. Please introduce yourself.
Just to clarify, are the re-buys unlimited (as long as the appropriate maximum chips condition is satisfied)? And does each re-buy and and add-on cost the same (real money) as the original buy-in?

In the 7-stud, omaha-8, and no-limit events the buy-in, re-buy, and add-on are all $100.
In the limit hold'em the buy-in is $200 but the re-buys and add-on are still only $100.
I'll be arriving on Thursday, early evening. I'll make sure to wander down to the show lounge to see your victory in the Omaha Hi-Lo tournament.
I'll gladly introduce myself. (Even if I didn't, I'd be easy to spot. I'd be the one sulking off to the side games at approx. 4:00 on Friday and Saturday...)
That is a crazy amount of re-buys/add-on's. It *almost* sounds like you can buy your way into the money! Of course, I'm mostly joking, but still... I guess the main consideration before re-buying or adding on would be: will this purchase give me a stack that is even close to the average?

Generally what happens is that everyboday has more or less the same amount of chips after the re-buy period is over...
Under $3000 you re-buy until you are over (round it off to $4000) and then you take the add-on taking you to $6000. So... everyone has $6000 after the re-buy period. All the that first hour and half determines is how much your $6000 cost you?
I usually tell people to PLAN for $400/tournament ($500 on Friday). Sometimes you get a little lucky and get away cheaper and other times... well, let's not talk about other times...
I had 8 re-buys in the last local no-limit tournament. Gulp.
