Considering this is a rebuy with very deep stacks I would change up the approach preflop. If there has been any decent amount of raising on your table preflop I would consider limping here and look to put in a big reraise. I realize it's best to be UTG or at most UTG+1 but in a rebuy there is normally enough aggression preflop to do this from MP1. However if you don't like to limp with a big hand like this preflop I think you should be raising more. Something like t150 or so since people are very loose with their preflop calls in rebuys.

On this flop I'm taking my shot and if he has me beat rebuying and getting right back in it. A lot of people are content to push a flush draw or he may even have an over pair to the board anything from 8s to Ts that he doesn't reraise preflop.

In a freezeout there is a better chance I fold without any reads. But in a rebuy where everyone is playing very loose I toss out my chips and pay another $6 to reload my stack if somebody got lucky and out flopped me.

I'd call and cry. There is a great chance someone called your raise with let's say 7-8suited and catched a nice flop here. Or maybe just one of them is sitting on a flush draw thinking you made a continuation bet.

Since it's early I like to call even more. It's a nice early chance to get ahead or just go out early. I'd rather go out here than 2 hours later with nothing.

firstly i raise more pre flop t80 doesnt scare anyone with those stack sizes.
easy fold post flop, your hand just shrunk up to nowt.

I don't think you can fold this in a $3 rebuy.

I would usually try for a limp reraise in this spot unless the table was very passive.

I don't think this is an easy fold after the flop in a $3 rebuy. I probably check push with any two diamonds larger than the 7s myself. In a freezeout your right and the hand is probably beat.

Also you have the ace of diamonds for a runner runner flush and you have 2 aces you can hit. Not good reasons to call but the fact that if you call and lose another $6 puts your stack right back to where you are now.
