Pocket Queens under the gun

[Samba_SamPa]

This was in a rebuy tournament. Is the next step an obvious one with it being a rebuy? When I play a rebuy, I budget for the buy-in, and an immediate rebuy, after which I play it like a freezeout, so would that make a difference to what you done next?... I had no info on _hAAj_ as he had just recently joined the table, but LoveVejle has made at least 3 rebuys that I could remember. ***** Hand 1172593932 ***** 50.00/100.00 Texas Hold'em (No Limit ) - 24 July 2008 22:50:20 7,500 GTD REBUY (Real /Tournament ) Seat 1: _hAAj_ (4060.00) Seat 2: AGELIOFORO (2000.00) Seat 3: rondador (6965.00) Seat 4: puttypitty (4180.00) Seat 5: Hausly (2610.00) Seat 6: LoveVejle (6075.00) Seat 7: plSamba (4735.00) Seat 8: ralph75 (2455.00) Seat 9: kozarys (1730.00) Seat 10: Salva77 (7150.00) Hausly post SB 50.00 LoveVejle post BB 100.00 ** Deal ** _hAAj_ [N/A, N/A] AGELIOFORO [N/A, N/A] rondador [N/A, N/A] puttypitty [N/A, N/A] Hausly [N/A, N/A] LoveVejle [N/A, N/A] plSamba [Qh, Qc] ralph75 [N/A, N/A] kozarys [N/A, N/A] Salva77 [N/A, N/A] *** Bet Round 1 *** plSamba Raise to 600.00 ralph75 Fold kozarys Fold Salva77 Fold _hAAj_ All-in 4060.00 AGELIOFORO Fold rondador Fold puttypitty Fold Hausly Fold LoveVejle All-in 6075.00 plSamba...

Re: Pocket Queens under the gun If it was very close to the end of the rebuy period I might fold, but I doubt it. Think you have to be prepared to gamble with the third best staring hand in a rebuy as players starting hand requirements are far less than in a freezeout. You might only be even money to win it, but your getting over 3/1 to make the call in this pot. Some might argue that they would prefer to try and outplay their opponents later rather than commit to a coin flip, personally I'd prefer to out play them with a big stack than atempt it with a short stack.
