Average bullets

The wonderful thing about rebuy tournaments is that you're guaranteed to outlast the late registration period, provided you're willing to fire more bullets whenever you hit the felt :-) The minimum number of bullets you can fire in a rebuy tournament is one, but the practical minimum is actually three - one buy in, one rebuy, and one add on. That's the minimum number of bullets which gives you a fighting chance to make the money. I calculated the average number of bullets I fire in rebuys; it's currently 3.24. I also calculated the field average, and as you might expect, it's considerably higher - 5.72. I've seen players go well above 10 bullets fired, which is really insane, and not a profitable play.
