Rebuys are basically the only thing I've been playing for the last year. While I'm far from an expert (I only just made my first rebuy final table a week ago), I do feel I've gotten a good grasp on the game.
I quoted Billy's post because I have a fairly similar strategy. First, I feel it is very important to get a good sized stack after the first hour. This stack will allow you to wait for the hands to come to you while you can also dabble around with mediocre hands. I shoot for a 10,000 chip stack by the end of the first hour, so basically 8000 plus the addon.
I hate spending a lot of money. If I keep losing and losing, I will abandon the tournament and stop rebuying. This decision basically just comes from a gut feeling rather than a specific money standard. But if I see potential at a table, I'll keep playing, which leads me to the tables filled with the so-called "donks."
I love the tables where during the first hour, almost every hand is all-in preflop. That is how I play so I like to know that I can and will get calls when I go all-in. I don't play the all-in game with weak hands like some might, but I am more than welcome to those that do.
