Rabbi, Ribeye, Rebuy

Eric Lindgren and Dan Shak were recently discussing the concept of rebuy tournaments -- at least as they're implemented at the WSOP. Lindgren was saying he'd prefer to see a one rebuy, one add-on format -- to keep the rebuys under control and to prevent anyone from "buying" a bracelet -- rather than the lammer situation now in use. Shak agreed. Both men feel that the lammer situations doesn't really solve anything because in order to play deep at the start you need to cash in all your lammers immediately. As currently implemented, the "starting stack" in tournaments like this one don't allow for much deep-stacked play, but cashing all the lammers in right away takes away the rebuy safety net.
