Re: Strategy for tourneys with unlimited re-buys?
I think the entire "push until your blue in the face" strategy is tremendously overrated. My two biggest takes in unlimited rebuy tourneys have come when I took ZERO rebuys. I just bought in and added on. Took 3rd/273 for $3,000 and 7/250 for about $5-600. Every time I try to play the maniac strategy it never seems to work. I never double up until I'm already in for like 10x the buyin or worse, I just never double up and I go down like $200.
I prefer to play my normal poker game, augmenting it by pushing with every premium hand like AK and AQ and any high to mid pair. I'll also take any race I can get for the first hour.
