Rebuy Tourney: Hand 2, Way ahead when I even would have settled for just a coin toss

Here's a hand fairly early on during the rebuy period that all_aces has mentioned here on the forum.

People in these tourneys tend to *way* overvalue KJ and AJ.

Check out the weird pre-flop betting. :cool:

I generally *hate* raising (approximately) the minimum, but in this case it works to shut out the players behind me because the initial raise is so much of an overbet.
