Hi Jonathan, amazing content. 👌 Do you have a recommendation for games with add on. I play a 35$ local re enter tournament with add on option. When the re enter phase is over the blinds are usually 1k 2k, starting stack 50k. Add on 10$ for extra 30k chips. I studied 40bb fundamentals, I guess as long as I’m in that range I should be fine, but the players tell me it’s a mistake if I don’t take the extra 30k chips and I often have the feeling that I lose some edge then. I would really appreciate some general advice. Thanks a lot.
You should always add on. You’re buying 50k chips for 0.07c each. The 30k add on chips only cost 0.03c each. It’s a better value. And it’s always better to have more chips. Especially if you’re short, like doubling your stack from 30k to 60k. The only exception I can think of is if you’re really deep. Like you built up a 400k stack; now 30k is not so important.
