    A question about tournament strategy for you, when you're playing in a rebuy tournament do you auto buy chips at the start of the tournament?

    I've read in a couple of places that the first thing you should do is immediately rebuy if you have the opportunity to do so, and should you bust out you should double rebuy again as well as top up...that is, if you want to win the tournament? Any thoughts?

    that's the question, below this line is just a general rant at myself over my play last night, feel free to read for amusement if you like :)

    Anyway I did exactly that (almost) last night in the $25K Guaranteed on VC, my first 4K went on the 5th hand when AKs found a flop with A T 4 rainbow and was beaten by a player with A4o.

    I then rebought for 4K and got that to 6 the next hand when two pair stood up. The following hand I had QQ and was put all-in preflop by AJs which spiked an A to bring me down to 2.5k, two hands later I raised with AA with one caller, the flop came down Q T 2 rainbow, and I was all-in and beaten by QTo.

    At which point I left the tournament, $113 down for 10 minutes entertainment. Logon to 3 $25 Stts, the first one I finished 3rd when A6s was beaten by Q6s when a Q landed on the river.

    Second one AQo was outdrawn by A7o before Davey put me out of my misery when his ATo held up against my A6s.

    In the third game I realised I'd allowed myself to be affected by the previous games when I limped with AA, flat called a bet on a flop showing Q T 6, when the turn came up with a 4 and the raiser bet over half my stack I folded. (I may well have been behind, but I just wasn't playing right) finally went out 6th in that one so a bad day all round. There was so much wrong with how I played that AA I don't know where to start...
