25 rebuy. I've played just 3 hands in 4 levels and won them all (all called all in) and am 2nd in chips. Last hand of rebuy. The play involves 3 other players, say A, B and C.

Player A is chip leader and always raises 3BB with AK/AQ and 5/6BB with big pair.
Player B is short stack and has told the table he is all in with any pretty hand before the cards are dealt.
Player C is a muppet who thinks Arag is a monster.

B is SB and C is BB. A is UTG +1 and I am Button.

A raises 3BB and I have JJ. I call. B goes all in. C goes over the top all in. A calls after a dwell. To call is costing me 75% of stack.

What's the optimum play here? I can rebuy and top up if I lose giving me about 50% of what i have now.

It depends how much rebuys you wanna do. If you have money for that, so you should call. If that would be tournament without add-ons and re-buys you should fold.

i'd fold especially on paddy power. otherwise ur in a good chip position and u dont need a 50 50 (at best) to win. ur probably up against kk or qq so no need to gamble especially against muppets

Why is this?

Ollieboy

fold

There's only 3 hands that can be ahead of you and there's a good chance your behind, but if they have ak or aq etc, your still only a small percentage ahead and will need a rag flop to win the hand.

The last hand before the rebuys end is always a big pot, I would fold and not get involved and wait for a better chance later.

Call, lose, rebuy.

Call, win, play badly and miss the final table

Spiritus

Call, lose, rant irrationally online (?)

Lafortezza

Call, hit quad jacks, be chip leader all the way and then bubble.

Call lose and explain to nobody in particular mostly with open hand gestures why you had to call as you stand up to put your coat on(the standard exit strategy).
