If you like to play poker after the flop, you certainly don't have to jam. But this is the rebuy period, so you may get calls from hands like AQ-AT or even KQ-KJ if you jam. Or you're flipping a coin for a huge chunk of your stack.

I still prefer doing something other than jamming. I like a sane reraise here, say, to 1500.

Eh, yes.

This is toward the end of the rebuy period in a $3 rebuy.

It is for me.

During the re-buy, I'll open push AJ+, 88+, and expect to be called by all kinds of worse hands. Calling pushes, I'm a bit more selective, but not a whole lot.

No, because you have 20K and 30K is not as 'good' from this point onwards as 10K is 'bad'.

sorry wasn't paying attention that it was still the rebuy period. Then yeah this is fine you will get called by crap here a lot of the time.

Well it depends adanthar. I think my ideal play here would be a reraise. There are still donks here at the 3 dollar rebuy so this play is defendable.

This is kind of early to fold into the money. You are going to meed more than 30K to win a seat.

I agree, I think making it 1500 or 2K is a better line. I also see nothing wrong with a call in position (and of course, I call/overcall a push behind). It depends.

So when I say that, your first thought is that I'm trying to fold in? Think about it some more.
