I hate re buys, or I did untilI played one now I am a better player. I had only played them before with a few months experience behind me. I played one recently and sat tight, with no rebuys and turned my $40 into $800 which is a nice result. Don't get involved with pointless all ins because you are doing ok and have a pocket pair. If you have no money in the pot with 4 all ins before you act, then throw away that pocket pair (aces or Kings are different, but thats your call). Going all in with 4 or 5 other people reduces any decent hand and if you don't have to get involved, don't. Leave the plebs to fight it out with their ace rag which will inevitably win. I quite enjoy the challenge of rebuys now and enjoy gloating to some fool who has spent ??$100 buying in when I have only spent $10 and finished ahead of them. Jester Nice read mate.
