Advice needed

[Washman]

I'm in this tourney on Bugsysclub tonight (285 entrants at the moment, and shouldn't be many more): Saturday 4th November 2pm CDT 10,000 starting chips 20 minute rounds with unlimited rebuys and up to 2 add ons. Players can make a rebuy anytime they are under 100,000 chips meaning all qualifications can be used up. Rebuys and add ons can only be taken if you have more than one qualification for the final. The top 2 players in the final will receive a $10,000 entry to a live tournament of their choice and there is a further $10,000 added to the final which will be paid out in the normal tournament payout structure depending on the number of qualifiers. I have qualified 3 times, so have a maximum of 30,000 chips to play with. The question is how should I play it? 1. Start with 10,000 and play loose knowing I have another 20,000 up my sleeve. 2. Start with 30,000 and wait for premium hands. 3. Start with 20,000, play my normal game (if I have one :\ ) knowing I still have 10,000 for an add-on or if I do something stupid. I'm favouring option 3, but would like to hear other peoples opinions. Cheers, Washy

Re: Advice needed Washy, why not take 10,000 at the start while the blinds are low, and if you don't add to them through your play take the rest of the 20,000 when the blinds start to go up. Of course if you double through with your 10,000 then its up to you. Just my thoughts.
