    played the 11 with 1 rebuy one add on and was doing fine til' this hand (didn't rebuy just one add on)

    After the re raise by him should I see the flop and shove any non ace flop.. or is the push all in the correct move?

    first of all, REBUY IMMEDIATELY in this tourney and start play with a 3k stack

    on this hand, there is no way im giving him credit for AA with that massive reraise from the BB, so its an easy shove. hes committing himself and 95% of the time you are going to be up against a smaller pair or AK.

    dont sweat it, you got it in as a favorite

    thx. I wanted to add on but I had never played a add on/rebuy on stars and couldn't figure it out but then I double on the very first hand so I didn't feel too bad about it. I had to ask for help on how to buy more chips at the break. lol

    Thanks for the reply,

    shouldn't this go in bad beat?

    if I was complaining about a bad beat. yes.

    but what I was asking since I'm not a successfull mtt player is was there a more optimal play then shoving and hoping for the best.

    move to bad beats if you'd like but I didn't post this looking for sympothy. I posted looking for opinions or advice.

    Thanks

    If you really think there is a problem with getting all of your money in the middle at around a 70% favorite, then i am sorry for the bad beat remark.
