Should I be more aggressive?
Example Hand:
I had AK with about 1500 chips. I raised it from MP. A 800 stack goes all in. A 4000 stack goes all in, a 1500 stack goes all in. It comes back to me.. and I figure I'm of course against pairs and have far less than 50% chance of winning. In a normal tourney, of course no way do I play this hand. I laid it down, and the players flipped over AQ, AJ, and 99. Surprisingly the AJ won with 4 to a flush. (I would have won with the A of the suit...)
Is that a call I should concider in a rebuy tourney?

If this is the type of action you are getting in your re-buys, you should not be making the call, you should making them call you.
With AK and pairs ten and up, i will be doing the pushing. You can't just sit the re-buy period waiting for AA.
IF the re-buys are this aggressive, I would plan on re-buying four to 6 times.
Whether or not you re-buy right off the bat is a personal preference, if games this crazy, I don't feel it buys me anything during the first round, in the later rounds I will add-on as soon as I rebuy, and no matter my chip stack at the end of the period, I take the add-on. Although if you have good stack, the value of the chips is questionable.
