Default $5 Rebuy - Fold KK here?

This is a tourney. For some reason the converter treats rebuy tourneys as cash games.

Blinds: $15/$30
7 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
Hero: $3280
UTG+1: $5270
MP1: $610
CO: $2010
Button: $1850
SB: $1800
BB: $1885

Pre-flop: (7 players) Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $90</font>, 4 folds, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($270, 3 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB bets $120</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises to $630</font> ...

Two people showing aggression, and these people play nutty cards. Time to let it go, find a better spot?

Without a read that they were maniacing I think I could feel alright with a fold here.

If they flip over 44 and k8o then you can bet there will be other opportunities.

I'd raise more pre-flop.

Also, I'm happy getting it all in here, just because although you are behind sometimes, you often get crazy action in the re-buy. There range could include anthing from A6+ 44+ suited connectors from 45 up to J10

Although I dont play crazy in teh re-buy I think you have to be willing to get em all in with you good hands.

i see a "blind special" coming here, one of them probably has 89 for top pair and oesd which in a rebuy its not terrible to commit yourself with. At worst you're probalby against two pair.

it's ok to fold there. they may be maniacs, but getting to showdown here will be expensive. and they are more likely to improve. you got a pair. you're probably ahead 40% of the time.

I would just push the flop. If you are ahead, they have out; if you are behind, you usually have some outs. If you lose, double rebuy for another $10.

if hero is ahead here 40% of the time it is a clear push cause of the pot odds.

Agree, 4-5x at this level.

Again, I agree wholeheartedly. Push and get ready to rebuy if necessary. If you're playing rebuys conservatively - attempting to minimize your buy-ins, I'm not sure there's much of a point of playing as you might as well just play a freezout

I am NEVER folding here with your stack in a rebuy period. You are ahead here A LOT and if you happen to get unlucky you are a double rebuy away from getting most of your stack back.

Seriously though, you shouldn't even have to think about this, very easy call. If you had say 12-20k and it was for your stack then it is a tough decision, but since you have just barely above the minimum (3k) its an easy all in.
