How loose should I be during the rebuy?

Hand from last night's $10+1 R. It's still in rebuy period with lots of LAG all-ins pf every hand. And I mean maniac...granny maes, T7o, any broadway, any two sooted.

I'm only getting 2:1 to make this call and thought this was an easy fold, but being a rebuy and seeing how Gavin plays these [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] , I'm not sure sure.

At this stage of the rebuy I would generally dump 22's here since its so late in the rebuy it may be hard to rebuild. Against 3 other players all in you know only hitting your set wins you the hand.

Early in the rebuy though i definitely call looking to win a monster pot.

Thank you, I needed some affirmation that folding was correct regardless of results. This was within the last 5 minutes of the buy-in and people were actually pushing even more, trying to get lucky while they could still rebuy.

Thanks again, Steve

You've got enough chips already to fold this hand. While it's true I'm one of these maniacs sometimes, there is a limit to it and people at the table generally don't notice when I hit that limit. This is a spot to fold and protect your 7k in chips(which will be 9k when you add on). NH
