Have to agree, they drag the comps out, and undo all the hardwork in the first 3 levels.
The only bonus is its easy to stack people for the first chance.

I disagree. The double chance makes a lot of hands unplayable. The 1st 2 levels should involve seeing lots of cheap flops and getting ALL their chips instead you get half.
It really is pants and i hope that they don't become the norm coz I like playing these events.

What i mean is that during the first 3 levels instead of stacking someone you only get half thier chips. This is a bit annoying as post addon's you are only 50% better off.
However it is easier to get those chips because players are a LOT loser.
And they do mean that comps go on for longer, leaving less play at the end.

I'm a fan of Double Chance tournaments - I like the strategy element it adds to the start as there are different ways it can be played. Given that poker seems to be moving towards 90% NLHE events then there has to be some form of differentiating the events in a week long festival.
I prefer the format they adopt at Luton (have to be half original stack or less to get the 2nd lot) compared to that at, say, the Broadway where you can take the add-on straight away. I don't see the point in offering this option - might as well make it a freezeout if you are.

Personally i dont care what format it is - provided i know well in advance. Rebuy, double chance, freezeout, fast blind structure, slow blind structure. If you are good enough you can adjust your game and adapt to your surroundings - what difference does it make?

Not really because if you have good bankroll management then you wouldnt be playing in the tournament in the first place if it could seriously damage it.
And if you are playing in a rebuy tournament you need the discipline to get up and walk away if you feel that rebuying is not going to be beneficial to your chances of cashing in a tournament.
The three key foundations a profitable MTT player needs: Patience, Discipline and Good Bankroll Management

The problem with double chance tournamnets is that the majority of casinos only let you have your second allocation of cips when you lose your first lot.
You should be allowed your chips whenever you desire them. Adds to the strategy.

agreed - thats the original double chance theory but it seems to have been butchered recently in favour of a more conservative approach |

IMHO, this is the salient point in this discussion |

at walsall you have to be below 50% of your starting stack( unless they have changed that now) |

out of interest, assuming we are playing a DC where you can take your chips immediately should you so wish, what is considered optimal strategy?
take them immediately? or is it dependent on player style..rock/loose etc?
