I'm playing the $3+R on stars right now, and i'm not too sure of how i should play it. I know everyone here is gonna LAG me to death, so i'm just wondering if i should just push /w any pocket pair preflop. I did with 99 and got like 3 callers (two K-10's and one A-10) and quadrupled up to $6k. Should i keep doing this in the early stages? what about the later stages?

With 6k you can sit back and wait for monster hands only. even if you don't play another hand til break you'll have $7k after your add on, good with blinds at 75-150 after break.

this is why I love this tourney. plenty of n00bz who don't have the first clue how to approach a rebuy. (wow a whole 7K at the break huh....thats generally less than average stack and the CL is usually above 50K....but gl playing 'tight' first hour)

its not a bad strat to play tight and just pick off idiots the whole first hour . . . that is the approach i usually take and am most always over 10 k after the first break. there are many different approaches one can take and have success

"wow a whole 7k at the break huh...thats generally less than average stack and CL is usually above 50k"I didnt write it like a brag post, did i?"but gl playing 'tight' first hour" what warranted this blatant sarcasm? I barely even know you, yet you feel it necessary to belittle an inferior rebuy tourney player like myself. Why the hell would you even post under this thread if this is all you have to offer. I asked for tips, not assholes.

Trinity is known to be an a$$hole on these forums. Don't worry, what your doing is fine, but I highly reccommend adding on at the break from now on.

Trinity, who cares what the chip leader has 1 hour into the tourney? If you're at $6K like op 10 minutes in, why press the issue? You'll have a comfortable stack to make moves with the next 2 hours, where it actually matters. Plus, he'll be respected more by his table.****Keep in mind I stinkGood luck OP, and Gibler, will be tracking you both.

i find it difficult to imagine a reason not to add-on in this tournament. i think not adding on is a major leak.
I really shouldn't be playing this tourney in the first place. my bankroll is only $30 lol. Adding on would not be a wise move in terms of bankroll management. But then again playing wouldn't be either. I'm playing more for the experience of being in a rebuy tourney. I wanted to see if it was gonna be like hubble's freeroll, where everything is all-in. So far its like Hubble's on ritalin. Its not a pushfest, more of an extra loose call-all-in fest
