    What are you thinking on this big bet in a $2 rebuy? Flush draw? I've seen a lot of people play a high pair like Queens or Kings like this lately too. Is it worth risking that much on this hand?

    for me an easy muck ....M of 120!! even if you are ahead why risk it all so early.
    I think I would have raised a little more pre. but calling a shove this big here seems crazy.....
    just me tho and Im a nit pre antes...!!

    The big word in this is "rebuy", yes, there are times when higher pairs come up, but if im reading right, and your in rebuy hour, its a snap call for me and a 4 buck rebuy if it loses, peeps so often come up with a lot less than 10s in this situation, esp during rebuys

    I misread that this was the last hand of the rebuy hour as it happened... it was actually just the :55 break coming up. So my thinking was like D_d, and I folded after long deliberation. Big bet turned over 4-6 (ugh), small all in turned over A-3. So bad fold , especially when I realized I had another 30 minutes of rebuy time or so I guess. Oh well. Had I realized I had lots more rebuy time I would have snap called and been happy to rebuy.

    Rebuy or not.. you never fold this to an open jam on the flop. Your hand is wayyy too strong and 87 or any set will check raise you.

    I think it's an easy call especially as it's a rebuy. I still think it's an easy call in a micro freezeout.

    Agree with 88XIN88 that big hands are c/r you or leading the flop with a normal kind of bet rather than just overshoving. Think you'd be surprised how often this is A8, K8 or any other 8x hands.
