    Default Rebuy or freezout?

    OK, so I'm really not liking "turbo" tournaments, because it seems you just need extreme aggression and a rabbit's foot to get anywhere, but I'm curious about what people think about Freezouts and Buyin tournaments? As far as I can make out the buyins cost a lot because the donks go mental with shit hands and feed the chips to the good players who get the premium hands early on, and so I end up just waiting and waiting and then get my pocket aces busted by some arsehole who calls all-in with 42o. People play tighter in freezouts and so it's easier to sit and wait. Am I missing a trick, or should I stick to freezouts?

    Crundy...the way you talk about poker always belies a desire to know what to do...but usually what to do as a rule. Really, there's no trick, no rule. You just have to adapt to situations. You really just need to look at table dynamics...there's no one way to win a rebuy, but I'd never play one if you don't have the bankroll to make guaranteeing that you make it to the break feasible.

    Oh I'm not asking for a definitive boolean response on this one. I was just curious about how people felt about the two types.

    My edge comes later in a tourneys, turbos are the game for me. The opening stages are also fairly dull by comparison.

    How do you play early in turbos?

    I play much like a ring game, super tight in EP looser in LP not stacking off with < TPTK. Tight I guess. You have to realise that you will have to take big risks once the ante's kick in and you will barely make it past the ante's very often.
