[ChipFish]

Always go into a REBUY with the means to rebuy several times.
EG. if it is a $10+1 rebuy ensure you have $60-120 (or more) dedicated solely to this tournament.

Keep a careful eye on WHO is playing ultra tight, and who is pushing with any ACE. The "any Ace" guy is likely going to double you up.

Immediately rebuy. i.e. you would "buy-in" for $21 ($10+$1+$10).
My goal is to finish above 2.5 times the initial starting stack... so in this case assuming starting stacks of T1K, I would expect to finish the hour at T5K+.
(Buy-in 1000, + initial re-buy 1000, + 3000 chips earned in the hour.)
Add-on is a MUST. unless you are chip leader.
If it is a small field then Chipleader or not, Still get the add-on.

The Tournament does not actually begin in my opinion until the add-on period is over.

See cheap flops with position when you can (levels 1 and 2), Start looking for chances to double up from level 3 and beyond.

If you are finding you are closer to the end of the hour, and have yet to double up your 2k stack, it is time to start "gambling", A-10 becomes a "premium" hand at this point....

Do wjatever you can to double up early....
When I hit my first double-up, and I now have T3500-T4k+ I will tighten up and look for a starting hand that I can play hard (and hopefully double up again).

Stack size vs the average stack as always means nothing.
90% of the time the guys with the big stacks, are the "gamblers" and have no idea how to tone it down once the rebuy period is over, This is why, in my opinion, it is OK to rebuy lots and lots of times..... You are adding more Chips to YOUR table, Enabling you the chance to take them back when they overplay their TPTK.

That's a start.... Gotta run.
