Hi Guys,

I had a few spots like this lately that I wanted to a) get a line check and b) get a feel for the proper way to handle these situations in a Rebuy Turbo (in this case a Satellite). I am just getting started in Turbo Rebuys in order to Sat into bigger tourneys and generally only play cash and Shootout tournaments.

Reads: Only read I had on him was that a few hands earlier he flatted from the SB with AKs. Stats were normal over 56 hands 20/13/0

Is the cbet sizing good? Should i be giving up on the turn? Is this a good spot to get it in during a rebuy?

Input is greatly appreciated.

I think the play here is fine. Cbet sizing is maybe a little too small and encourages a lot of Ax and Kx hands to call. I tend to make cbets in the region of around half pot or just under this early.

Small pairs are calling you here virtually 100% plus Ax and maybe Kx hands. Also villain can be slowplaying a 7 or 55 for sure therefore checking back the turn is fine as your hand still has showdown value.

When you whiff the river and villain bets 350 just give up. I suspect he is now betting a made hand or maybe even a smallish pair for value hoping you will call with AK/AQ or a weakish made hand yourself. He could of course be running a bluff but very doubtful on that board at these stakes.

By the way, I dont think it really matters whether it is a rebuy or not. Just make +EV decisions in both. It is ok to gamble a bit more in rebuys but not essential in my opinion as people will gamble enough for you to gain enough situations to build a stack.
