1th hour of a rebuy; Play tight or loose?

[Soulless]

Just wanted to know what u ppl think of the first hour of a rebuy tournament, especially at the lower buyin levels ($5-$15).

And how do u usuly play the first hour? Do you stay as tight, or even tighter then usual, finding the spots where ur patience will tripple/double u up against the loose aggressive luckseekers?

Or do you take part in the search for luck? Luck can surely leave u with a HUGE stack after the rebuy period ends, as long as ur willing to risk a few buyins, but is it worth it in the long run?

But having a monster stack when the real poker begins wont garantee u the win, but it will for sure help a little.

i always gambool it up in the rebuy hour. Not one of those people who push every hand, but im usually in for around 8-10 buyins by the end of it.

If I still don't have a very good stack then I'm happy to get my money in the middle with a coinflip or even the bad end of a 55-45, but at some point it becomes spew. Some people play so crazy in the rebuy period that I don't believe they can possibly make up that EV no matter how well they play after the rebuy period is over.

On the other hand if someone at your table is going all-in every hand then obviously you should call him with a lot of hands.
