Calling all in with AQ (Rebuy tournament)

[sirio11]

Do you call an all in bet in the first stage of a rebuy tournament? Assume you have the money to rebuy if you want to. Please explain your reasons to call or fold.

It really depends on how much you want to gamble in the rebuy. Some players like to gamble a lot more in hopes of having a large stack leaving the rebuy part of the tournament. Others want to be the aggressors when they decide to gamble in these situations. Still others play so tight... well, you know what I mean.

Finally, having a read is important. If the all in has been all in the last 5 hands... then I'd think the call is beyond easy no matter how tight you are. If this player hasn't played a single hand or gambled at all during the rebuy period, then it is an easy fold for me.
