Default Is this a lay down for you?

THF Player of the Year
I saw this tourney at the last minute. It's outside my bankroll management rules but I thought I'd treat myself to some fun. Unfortunately, I didnt even realise it was a rebuy till it began. Silly me.

So yes, it's a rebuy and I've just joined what seems a very loose table.

Firstly..a few hands previous..

PokerStars Game #11215799267: Tournament #56616686, $8.00+$0.80 Hold'em No Limit - Level II (15/30) - 2007/07/30 - 10:29:48 (ET)
Table '56616686 63' 9-max Seat #1 is the button
Seat 1: 7letters (3830 in chips)
Seat 2: Ive Lost It (8677 in chips)
Seat 3: mickey669 (3302 in chips)
Seat 4: maureen73 (5647 in chips)
Seat 5: dedouze (5026 in chips)
Seat 6: gh0d (6499 in chips)
Seat 7: SHIPdaCHIPS (3000 in chips)
Seat 8: RATIATOR (1065 in chips)
Seat 9: sonhsbogi (4349 in chips)
Ive Lost It: posts small blind 15
mickey669: posts big blind 30
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to 7letters [8d Qs]

sonhsbogi: calls 1065

*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 3600 Main pot 3300. Side pot 300. | Rake 0
Board [Jc 8c 2h 7c 6c]
Seat 1: 7letters (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 2: Ive Lost It (small blind) folded before Flop
Seat 3: mickey669 (big blind) folded before Flop
Seat 4: maureen73 folded before Flop
Seat 5: dedouze folded before Flop
Seat 6: gh0d showed [6s 7s] and won (3600) with two pair, Sevens and Sixes
Seat 7: SHIPdaCHIPS folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 8: RATIATOR mucked [Qh Ah]
Seat 9: sonhsbogi mucked [4h 7h]


and here's the hand I was posting about.
I felt I wanted to call this.
With four players in the hand I'm going in an underdog but I can easily put them on weaker hands than myself.
Anyway, after thinking for quite some time, I folded.
Is this a good fold in the circumstances? Or do you like to take the risk there in a rebuy?

If I play a rebuy, which I don't often. I play much the same as any MTT. I'll rebuy once immediately and usually addon at the break.

PokerStars Game #11215810112: Tournament #56616686, $8.00+$0.80 Hold'em No Limit - Level III (25/50) - 2007/07/30 - 10:30:54 (ET)

Tough call JJ has a history of losing all the time on pokerstars but yes i would call it based on the table being loose and the fact that is a rebuy

Try as I may I cannot get on with re buys......I would have tried to double up with the Js, a made hand pre-flop in a re buy has a good chance of winning, sorry I mean busting out....no, no winning.....or is it losing......starting to see why I don't play re buys now.........

Every man for themselves......more money than sense......he who rebuys the most has the most chance of winning.......in fact re buy has nothing to do with real poker at all IMHO......however all that said once I realised I was in the wrong kinda tourney I wouldn't have added-on etc.....I would just see what I can do with my starting chips and should I bust out put it down to experience should I place in the money, nice one but I would still be paying more attention to what kind of tourney I have entered next time......mind you I ended up in a limit MTT the other week and nearly fell asleep during it, had no interest in winning it and I placed in the money......Don't figure...?????

What do we learn from this.....sweet FA....I just like the sound of me own voice/tapping.....

GL in the tourney 7 hope you done well either way bud....

Thanks Sonny. Yes thats twice I've done that recently. Jumped in a tourney and then realised after that it was a rebuy.

I shouldnt of been in a rebuy for that price. I folded the J's because I didnt want to rebuy but I should of called.

I rebought once and didnt take the addon. All went a bit wrong at the end of this MTT. I was disappionted but I cashed, making a $30 profit so it wasnt bad for me.
