Beating £10 Casino Rebuys - advice needed!

guess it depends where you play, i've been in a couple at brighton and it wasn't quite that mad

it really depends how many rebuys you are happy enough to pay and that should dictate how tight you are going to play

I tend to play the hands much the same as in a freezeout but will often push with marginal holdings to pick up pots, or maybe a huge one should i get called

if i have to rebuy then i have to rebuy, its the price you pay

I wouldn't go mad though else they will cost you loads

LOL my advice is to avoid rebuy tourneys, unless the rebuy is limited to one.

The concept people take on a cheap rebuy tourney is getting as many chips as possible early. Some places say you have to be all out before you can rebuy or you have to have less than 800 chips or so to rebuy (if that is the case watch for people betting just enough to get below that and then rebuying).

There is no "real" strategy involved in a tourney like that, most people are going on luck to have as many chips as possible before the rebuy time limit runs out (and it's usually the rich older people who dont care about the $10 bucks a pop)

I really comes down to how much you are prepared to spend. I play 50euro re-buys about 3 times a year, and go in fully prepared for one top-up and one re-buy. (150) Now that will also depend on what stage were at. Im not re-buying on the 5th level of blinds or topping up, if the top up is 20% or less of my stack.

Play your premium hands hard, you really have to be prepared to go all-in with a top 10 hand in one of these. Folding AK is really not an option. There is also players out there that deliberately floood their table with chip, with the intention of out playing everyone when the re-buy stage is over. Sad but true even at this level some donks think that they are pro's.
