Add-on

Basic Definition

An add-on refers to the purchase of additional chips at a specified time during a poker tournament. It usually takes place after the rebuy period ends and serves as a way for players to increase their stack.

Specific Situation

• In a rebuy tournament, players with a small stack can purchase an add-on to increase their chip count after the rebuy period ends.
• By planning a strategy that assumes an add-on at the start of the tournament, you create the option to play more aggressively in the early stages.

Important Information

• Add-ons are generally available to all players equally, so they don't give any one person an advantage. Strategies that take into account the increase in the total stack amount are required.
• Since the cost of add-ons is usually added to the tournament entry fee, it's important to manage your finances carefully.

Examples of Term Usage

"After this, I can't revive anymore, so I'll add an addon to increase the stack."
