This is probably the case, but in the short term (2 games) it hasn't worked out for me personally but the "weaker" players have benefited...but that's poker. I'm sure that in the long run my win rate would be about the same in rebuy tourney's as it is in freezouts, but the bottom line for me is that freezeouts promote better play...and I'm more interested in playing in a game with better play than I am in building the pot.

I'm with you here but I prefer to have a side table/game for the players that bust out and our tourney games don't generally last over 2 hours and we play between 3 - 5 tourney games on poker night. if it's only 1 big game for the entire night, I completely understand the need for rebuys.
On topic...I'd love to watch this heads up match if it happens online. I think Poker Stars has heads up tables.
