I am reading the Strategy Articles about Re-Buys (kudos to the person that wrote them), and I just want a bit of clarification please about Rebuy Strategy Part 2 where it says in the part about Defending Against Super-Loose Strategy:
You’re best bet against this type of player is to wait for a good hand, get your chips in there and cross your fingers. What you don’t want to do is get frustrated by your opponents moving all in left and right and start calling them down with hands that are below average. In the most extreme case where you are willing to do as many rebuys as you need to and you have an opponent who is moving in literally every hand you should get involved with any hand that is above average. The following hands are between 52% and 55% to win against two random cards: (pairs) 33, (suited hands) K4-K2, Q7-Q5, J8, T9, (unsuited hands) A2, K6-K4, Q9, Q8, JT, J9.

Am I right to assume that where it refers to (pairs) 33 it means you can play any pair 3 or above, and where it says (suited hands) K4-K2 it means any two suited cards where a king is one of those cards :questionm

I'm also quite surprised that A2os is a strong enough hand, but that's why I read strategy articles written by people who know what they're talking about! :D

If the villain is moving all-in with 100% of hands the gap concepted means u should be calling with top 50% of hand, the 33,K4-K2,A2... hands your mentionced are bottom of that range.
This isnt saying u should play thouse cards just that its ev+ to call a all-in with them against a villain that moves in 100% of time.

Yes, I was just a bit surprised that it only listed 33, for example. If I have understod correctly, that would imply that 44 was more than 55% favourite to win against ATC :questionm

Yeah I guess at least 1 rebuy is obligatory in rebuy matches. For me 1 rebuy is enough usually (to get 3-4 times the basic amount of chips after "allinwar"). From this position the match can be started well after the end of rebuy period).
