| Over in England most of the games i play in are NL/PLHE with buy in for the first 90 mins and about 100 runners with 9 places paying. I find that for the first 90 mins the games are ultra agressive with someone having to buy in every 3 or 4 hands ! This often means that by the time you reach the end of the first 90 mins on a table of ten people you often have about 30 buy ins on your table. People often play any 2 cards against raises that you expect to knock them out. I have now found myself with about double my buy in at the end of the 90 mins a number of times but am then up against people who have gambled it up to about 5x their buy in ! Questions 1) Should i loosen up and try to get a large stack early ? 2) Should i anticipate having to buy in 3-4 times to have a chance of doing well ? 3) Should i just do what i do at the moment and just play good cards but maybe be behind on chips but only having brought in once or twice as opposed to 3-4 times ? | ||

| > 1) Should i loosen up and try to get a large stack early ? Yes. In a rebuy tournament, correct strategy is to play loose in an attempt to double up your stack early on. Once you have doubled your stack, you'll want to play tighter. > 2) Should i anticipate having to buy in 3-4 times to have a chance of doing > well ? Be prepared to buy in 3 or 4 times, but don't anticipate it. I've won a rebuy tournament without rebuying - it happens all the time. You shouldn't be planning on busting, but in a rebuy tournament busting doesn't mean what it does after the rebuy period - your last few chips have almost no value. > 3) Should i just do what i do at the moment and just play good cards but maybe > be behind on chips but only having brought in once or twice as opposed to 3-4 > times ? Nope. You've got to give it some play early on or you'll be a giant dog to all those big stacks. I'm not saying that you should play garbage hands, but it is the time to take some chances. | ||
