Personally, I rarely bother to play them, I don't suit a loose gameplan and don't have a roll to play them regularly enough to get a good grasp of a sound strategy.

Dear Poker Gods, I've been playing the $10 rebuy on Stars for the last 3 hours tonight.  During the rebuy I was blessed with a couple of half decent hands and managed to make the break in good shape.  Since then, two hours ago, I've been dealt total crap and I would really appreciate a couple of nice hands after this break please.  We're not far from the bubble and I'd appreciate a couple of double ups to get me back to average

Thank you for listening  dont river me dont river me

Strategy for rebuys

Take some money.........have some fun........enjoy myself.......10 x £10 rebuys would be no more or less than I would change at the table to play blackjack.

Your strategy will depend on your motivation for playing. As previous posters have put if you are looking at it as investment and return then you will have to set some limits and guidelines. If you are looking at it as a night out then you will look at the rebuy differently along with your starting requirements for hands etc.

Poker as in life comes down to motivation

Sadly it didn't work.   Managed to pick up one set of blinds before it was on the bubble.  Having an empty Stars account meant that I folded AQ UTG+2 to make the money too.     Then that was it.  I'd have been called by someone if I played the AQ so I'm glad I sold out and took the $80, it gives me another bash anyway.

No answer to my prayers this time, but surely, if these things balance out, I'm in for a good run soon Cheesy

It does take a long time, I played for 3 and a half hours and went out in 170ish, but it's good fun, if you can get something half decent along the way.  I can't believe how card dead I was, never known times like it.

Daniel Negreanu said his strategy for rebuys was to raise every pot preflop with any 2 cards and try to get to the flop against as few players as possible as he knew he would make better decisions postflop than everyone else at the table and would accumulate more chips in the long run......I think he said that just before having 33 rebuys at the wsop rebuy event though!

yes and that might work if you can spend a LOT more money than everybody else, the price of a rebuy is prohibitive for most players at your table, and if people can lay a hand down and have enough chips back if they do. This does not go for most rebuys, especially online where most of the time during the rebuy period loads of people call (3 or 4 is quite common after you raise) and if you do raise it up to an amount where you only find yourself against one or two players they're justabout pot committed..and seeing as it' a rebuy they will call you anyways during the rebuy period.

if he think he could try the "I'm better than you postflop" theory in the tenner rebuy on stars he's an idiot.

LOL- Just started playing on the blonde rebuys in the last day or two. I've been gambling early with any 2 to set up an image, then trying to tilt the table with a load of BS talk and then sit back and wait for the nuts and for the tiltees to pay me off. Working so far......

ps If I give anyone here some grief don't take it personally LOL, its all part of the strategy.

Went close in the 35k aswell, should have made the top 5 but got caught out on the final table bubble being too aggressive and repushing on the BB with a bag of bollox

On blonde how come some of the rebuys let you rebuy with a full stack and others you have to lose your whole stack before you rebuy? A bit strange isn't it?
