so you're toward the end of the rebuy; you've only got 3k which isn't going to do you much good. there's always a chance you can get something accomplished when you start with 5k, but it's a steep hill to climb. so you figure there's 4800 in the pot, possibly going to be 4200 more in the main pot = chance to get to 8k, and add on = 10k. and if you don't suck out and win, so long as you're willing to either give up on the night or make a double rebuy and add -on, it's not a big deal. plus they're going to really really think you're a fish and that might pay off down the road.

I don't think this is good but can easily be verified by pokerstove. If i added right we need like 30 % equity, assuming everyone else were to always fold, but someone is of course going to come in some % of the time.

This is post rebuy period, and I'm pretty positive this is really bad with 25o, if you had a more reasonable holding I'd be all for it but as-is you're getting crushed by way too much (we're assuming that main villain is squeezing here, so we don't need a great hand and 25o probably fares decent vs. his squeeze range, but you have huge issues with multiple callers and 25o is still pretty bad for his squeeze range), and I know you're just hoping to have live outs but this is just bad.

25o doesnt have very good equity against 99+ AQ+ or whatever his range is. I would like this if you have 98s or something. idk, its prolly close with all the dead money in the pot though.

"I can't not lie"? LOL

Awful no matter how long you think about it.

52o is 29% against a top 15% hand, and someone will call fairly often, so this is a bad call.

I would need a real hand to call: any ace, any pp, KJo+, K9s+.
