Hi Guys,

I'm playing my first live rebuy MTT on the weekend.  I have a very limited experience with rebuy tournaments.  I'm hoping for some basic pointers from you guys.  The tournament allows for unlimited rebuys during the first 9 levels.  Starting stacks are 5000.  The structure is as follows…

25-25

25-50

50-100

75-150

100-200

150-300

200-400

300-600

400-800

End of Rebuy – add on period

500-1000

1000-2000

1500-3000

2000-4000

3000-6000

4000-8000

5000-10000

7500-15000….

The levels seem like a big jump after level 10.

The casino is adding $5000 to first place.  They are only paying 5 spots.

Most of the people playing this tournament are generally pretty bad.

I think my basic strategy is to see alot of flops early, rip it in with draws, hope to build a big stack before the rebuy ends.  Playing conservative probably wont allow me to get a big stack fast enough.

I know I can't become a rebuy expert overnight, but I'm hoping you can share some basic tips and help me take this thing done.

Thanks!
