    I need some serious help here. I have recently started playing the $3 rebuy on PS. I have cashed a couple of times, nothing to brag about though. My problem is how to play on pokerstars. It seems like by the first break I have either doubled up or just hanging around my original starting stack, while there is someone who has 89k in chips.

    It seems like PS is just all in, all in, all in. Does not seem like a lot of poker is being played, everyone just wants to race. Is it the buyin level I am in or is this the norm for PS? It seem every raise, leads to someone always going over the top with all in.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    This is because it is a low buy in rebuy. I play on stars and ftp and I don't notice a huge difference in players trying to just shove instead of play more on one site than another. I think this is more a result of the buy in and fact that its a rebuy than it being on pokerstars.

    Dont worry about the 89k stack or the 45 bucks he spend to get it. Aim for 10-15k but even if u just have 4500 thats 30bbs coming in after teh break and plenty to work with given the idiots in this field. I dont even bother trying to attain a certain stack anymore, just win what the cards let me usually have less then 15 bucks in it. Lol you should try the 5.50 freezeout at 9pm. I made 2nd to last table tonight, that tourney is ITM 1 and a half hours in.

    Guess I am comparing this to the site i regularly play which is bodog. Seems like on stars, just about every hand someone is all in. People going all in with some stupid stuff and hitting their hands. I have not yet figured out how to play on there.
