Re-buy hour of tonight’s TOT.

Villain aggressive and just got monster stack by winning a four way all-in pre with JQs.

In that hand the villain opened the pot and called a 4bet shove when the action got back to them.

As an aside I was playing with no intention of re-buying or adding on (won entry and above bankroll). 


Three bet shove into small pot? Is this usually a flip? Should I take it?

    Here is the hand the villain stacked up on. Both hands really confuse me as the villain is a successful respected player. Is this how the first hour of a re-buy should be played then? If so count me out :o(

    usually in rebuy tournaments you gamble gamble at the start in order to build a monster stack so you can go super deep

    Well it worked, the guy won the thing :)

    So I guess a 5.50 re-buy is really a 20 quid tourney where you take three chances to chip up in the first hour.

    Fair enough I live and learn.
