1.
On the first hand of the rebuy period in a small tournament you pick up
K-K in late position. The first player raises 25% of his chips and is
called by two other people should you:
a)Fold b)Call c)Raise
d)Raise all-in?
d) Raise all-in. You figure to have the best hand at this stage, and
you can expect at least one caller. If you're uinlucky and lose you can
always rebuy, and if everyone folds you will get more action next time
you pick up a monster.
2. Towards the end of
rebuys, you've built up a very big stack. When two players limp, you make
a good raise with A-Q and the other big stack at the table, who is a solid
player and has about the same as you, goes all-in on the small blind. All
pass back around to you. Should you:
a)Fold b)Call?
a)Fold. Because you know the other player isn't a maniac, and you
know he knows you have enough chips to wipe him out, it's very hard for
you to be in a good spot here. Many players will play A-K like this, and
there's also the possibility he has a decent pair but doesn't want to se
a flop with it.

At the start of the freezeout stage of the event, you get involved with a
player you haven't seen before, but who has played very fast and loose in
the rebuy period. He raises your blind a normal amount from mid-position,
all fold around, and you look down at 9-9. Both of you have more than 20
big blinds on the table. Do you:
a)Fold b)Call c)Raise
d)Move all-in?
b)Call. Just because he played fast
during rebuys doesn't mean he is still doing so now - for all you know, he
could be an expert player. Folding and re-raising are out, and going all-in
is imprudent.
