It seems that all the cheap re-buy games, everyone is donking.
Is it OK to Donk or should you play tight?
I have played tight and find that I can't get into a hand with out going all-in.

It's fine if you cant play a hand without going all-in I think. My rebuy strategy is to wait for a strong hand and then try to get it all-in. Seems simple doesn't it? People will donk of their chips, so getting it all-in when you have the best of it is easy, so just wait for it. I find this to be really effective at getting a good (but not huge) stack going into the main part of the tournament.Quote:

no you should never donk because in the long run you will lose more money then you will win never be a donk sometimes it seems to be a good idea but you will never win a game with alot of people in it.also you might be put on donk tilt when you play a bigger game good luck at the tables all
I agree you should never donk cus you are just wasting chips.
i wouldnt call it donking. that is the way i seen any r/a game go. it could be $1 or $30, it always seems to be the same. r/a games is all about getting as much chips as you can before break. i donk the first hour until i double or triple up. still i dont play tight cuz i know easy it is to chip up in the first hour. you have to be way more open minded with your hole cards in the first hour of these games but that doesnt mean by playing tight you wont win cuz you can still win these by playing tight but thats just not my style during the first hour of these things.Quote:

I will usually donk and try to pick up many chips with my original buy-in and if that doesnt work i will re-buy and play tight. Wait for a big hand and try to get all my chips into the pot. There will be many donks and you should be able to double up pretty easily.
Im a rebuy i usually would want 7x starting stack by the break. If its a cheap enough rebuy, and im not anywhere near it, ill get agressive with every hand to try and get hte stack.
