but given the nature of rebuys, it's generally worth it. there is so much money in the prize pool relative to the $3 more you have to put in

let's use the 1 chip example with a typical stars $3r. i opened the tourney lobby of one that completed to look. it pays about the top 20%. first pay spot is $21.39

so your options are to either give up, effectively losing and not cashing that tournament (save for the .00001% of the time you double up like 16 times or so), and use your $3 in another tournament. or to spend $3 to add-on and have 3001 chips

if you spend the $3, you only need to mincash 14% of the time to make the investment pay for itself. and don't forget that by the rebuy period, as much as 20% of the starting field may already be out. it's really not that difficult to work a shortstack into something meaningful and place in the top fifth a reasonable amount of the time. the blinds give you some room to work with, even with only 3k. in my experience you're no more than 2 double-ups away from an average stack at that point

this is looking at it as if the only options are to either mincash or not cash at all. add in all the times it leads you to a greater cash, which is where almost all of real MTT profits come from anyway, and it's a ridiculously good investment for a solid player IMO
