Also, if you say re-raise, what is your plan if he pushes all-in?

Comments on earlier betting also appreciated.

45k, 3rd level, isn't this a rebuy? If so, push.

Raise is too weak with a caller as well. I usually raise X3 +1 for every limper, so I'd make it 400 at least. If it's a rebuy, I make it more.

Re: AA on KQ8 flop
 

Yes, it is a re-buy. Would your opinion change if it was after the re-buy period on, say, Level 6?

Re: AA on KQ8 flop
 

Play in the early stages of the 45k rebuy is notoriously bad. If you don't have a read on this guy, just push. He'll usually call with as little as a queen. ps: should've raised at least 500 with aces preflop. usually get multiple calls here.
