On the first hand of the rebuy period in a small tournament you pick up K-K in late position. The first player raises 25% of his chips and is called by two other people should you:

a)Fold
b)Call
c)Raise
d)Raise all-in?

Answer -->
d) Raise all-in. You figure to have the best hand at this stage, and you can expect at least one caller. If you're unlucky and lose you can always rebuy, and if everyone folds you will get more action next time you pick up a monster.

I would do just a call,and if on flop comes an ace my hand is probably dead.

You've got to isolate in that spot. If someone wakes with with AA, that's just a cooler and part of poker. The value lost by just flatting is too high with that high of a % of each player's stack committed.

Only as good as the cards dealt to me. When I play with my friends sometimes, I am even superstitious of the chair position I am in. I have seen aces lose to trip 3s and mostly trip 10s. I think they are good against qq or kk though. Typically the better hands to play more often than not.

That's an all in. You want to give them the flop? There are 3 already in the pot with me, if I can get 1 or 2 out my hand is that much better. Probably though everyone would fold if there was no pairs out there. ALL IN my 2 cents

Yup that's a shove. 3 players already in, so you can expect that the other players are holding couple of aces and chances are there would't be another on the flop. Plus a rebuy, all in for sure.

Reraise all in. a lot of dead money in the pot, plus there is the likelihood of card reset after such action games

This is definitely not the correct play to make. That play right there is a waste of chips.
