Yes it was on PKR, not that grind mode mode so only playing PKR for fun. Rebuys are fun, many dont understand how to play it so they call me the donk while i rebuy many many times, after a while i have a stack and they dont and at first break i allways have a stack to play with and many are bust or so low in chips.

I saw Jess having a 3rd in some other rebuy btw
Just today you mean? Yeah - fucked that up good and proper - should have binked that, I was up against a couple of donks. Made a classic mistake : I forgot that donks always limp QQ/KK/AA
After making that fatal mistake, I got to listen to why I was an idiot.

Yeah - I play rebuys the same man.. I often rebuy way more than most people, for starters - I always rebuy to MAX chip count as soon as I can (first hand) and I'll get my chips in preflop with any pocket-pair and a lot of broadway cards.. I just aim to build a giant stack, without being stupid about it. But I don't play scared, I understand it's a rebuy and that I can buy back if I lose. Normally by the first break - I have a stack that puts me in the top 10 at least, unless I happen to have lost a massive hand right before the break.
Saying that - if I manage to build a big stack in the first 15min or so, I will start playing my usual game and tighten the f**k up. I am ultra-loose until I build my big stack, then I just sit back basically and wait for the break, occasionally capitalizing on QQ+ type hands.

Same here, its the way to have an insane roi on rebuys imho.

Yeah for sure. People often mistakenly (IMO) make the mistake of thinking that the value in rebuys comes from being tight with rebuys and letting everyone else boost the prizepool.
I am of the opposite school of thought:
I think the value in rebuys comes from all the people thinking they have a decent chance when they start with only a third of the maximum starting stack and refus to take chances, don't rebuy when they should, don't take the addon, etc.
------------ Oh - the other awesome thing about playing like a maniac during the rebuy period is that to casual observers - you get an ultra-loose image, so if you tighten right up after the rebuys finish, you can value bet like a mad-man when you have big hands and people call you really wide because they think you're a maniac/idiot.
obviously, better players are a bit more clued on.

Thats the way to play it. But you have to have the roll for it cos you can have a lot of rebuys plus addon. My roll is never a problem i feel comvertable at $5 rebuy but i only played $20 rebuys 3 times, i do the standard 4 rebuys plus addon but play littl scared but totally overrolled so kinda strange.
