* I think the rebuy option decreases the overall quality of play. With a rebuy in their back pocket, the strategy for many would be to try and double up early and as a result, play will be more reckless
* I hate the idea of having to eliminate the same person more than once
* A player who's just holding his head above water but isn't low enough in chips to rebuy (depending on the threshold) is penalized for having average results while the people that had bad results can buy more chips and sometimes come back in with equal or more chips than the guy that's been grinding it out. I realize this may not be the set up with many rebuy formats but I know that it is with some.
*You lost all your chips so you don't deserve to be in this game any longer...the loser's side table is that way.

I hate Rebuys, they piss me off so much. I hate them for exactly the same reasons as you. The people I play with like them so I"m pretty much forced to play with them.
