would like to hear was some of yall do for add-ons.

assume T10000, $200 buy-in, $200 rebuy

add-on:
$200 gets you 10k
$200 gets you 5k
$100 gets you 5k

or some other variation

In my home game we do half a starting stack for half the buy-in. In your case it would be $100 for T-5000.

does that seem to get more folks to add-on? rather than full price for full stack?

have always done full for full - and get about 1/2 folks adding on.

First, I think the chip value per dollar paid should be the same for the initial buy and the rebuy. Otherwise somebody gets an advantage for good/bad play.

That said, you could allow both $200/T10K and/or $100/T5K, in case somebody doesn't want to invest another full buy-in.

I played at a casino tourney Tuesday night that had a loose buy-in system:
- if your stack gets below T$1,000 you could do a half buy-in (T$1,000), and
- if your stack gets below T$500 you could do another full re-buy (T$2,000).
This way you didn't have to wait until you were busted to re-buy.

I agree. I don't like rebuys and/or addons, BUT if I'm doing a rebuy tourney, I allow 1 addon at the end of the rebuy period that allows players to buy back up to the starting stack amount (at the same dollar value per chip as the starting chips). I do not allow any player to buy chips that would take them above their initial starting stack and I only allow 1 rebuy OR 1 addon...so a player that rebuys and goes on to lose a large amount of chips would not be allowed to addon.

Ditto, I think this is the best idea.
