Agressiveness of EP $30+3 Rebuy

Anyone care to comment on how agressive the Empire $30+3 Rebuys are during the Rebuy period? What percentage will constantly push and rebuy inorder to double/triple/quad up?
Thanks,
Bco

Is that a good strategy then?

Reason I ask is that I've only ever played 1 rebuy, and I won it. I didn't buy any rebuys, but just got the add-on.

I have played in some of the UB Aruba $5 rebuy tournaments and this is a common strategy. It is actually insane any hand with paint...All-In. SOmeone employing this strategy ends up with 4x the starting chip count shortly after the buy-in. High risk high reward. When the total buy-in is low, $20, is not that much of a risk. Would you pay $20 into a 5 dollar tournament if you could start out with 5x the starting chips?

no, the crazy pushing is a horrible strategy. that's why i was appalled that no one was doing it. it's very easy to beat the crazy pushing strategy:

1) wait for good hands.
2) call the crazy pushes / raise yourself

I agree. It is pretty easy to trap someone playing this style of play.
