I am playing in my first live tourney tomorrow at the trop in AC. It is a 30 dollar rebuy. I have never played a rebuy should I play different because of they rebuy ability?
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game?

Decide how many re-buys your willing to put up and base your play on that. If your wanting to put up the money for 3 or 4 then play like a maniac. In other words push with an AX (Q or higher for the X). Push with any PP as well. After the rebuy period is over hopefully you will have a nice chip stack and can set back and play premium hands.

get a good understanding of their rules...i've found that brick and mortar casinos can have some reallly goofy structures as far as rebuys/addons go....sometimes you can 'rebuy' right away, sometimes you can addon right away, sometimes you can only addon at the end of the rebuy period, sometimes there are a limited amount of rebuys, sometimes you can only rebuy at a certain time....
if this is your first live game, i'd recommend not trying anything too fancy or by going crazy and pushing w/ anything early on....unless you've got a lot of money burning in your pocket.....just try to be aware that others will push w/ a little pocket pair....try to set some traps during the rebuy, then after that you can revert back to your totally normal game....
but yeah, definitely set a limit to how many times yer willing to rebuy before you sit down...

i disagree. everyone plays rebuys like that --crazy
which means its the perfect opportunity for you to double up VERY easily, dont push with any 2 cards like most people because you will go broke, just be the one who makes others go broke by playing good hands
be ready to rebuy though, just in case
