Playing the first hour of a rebuy

[bobbycharles]

I'd love to get feedback from anybody that plays rebuy tourney's on their strategy for the first hour.

I've tried to play a very LAG style...try to see a flop cheap, flop a monster and go all in hoping for callers.

I've called all ins with marginal hands hoping to double up and get a big chip lead. I can always rebuy if I miss.

I've tried playing a very tight aggressive style hoping to accumulate from those that are trying the above.

I've had marginal success for all styles, and can't seem to settle on one.

Any thoughts?
