I have played the 11:30a $25 rebuy tournament at Hollywood Park twice in the last couple of days and what a marshmallow it is! It is impossible to raise without at least three callers from any position. No kicker/no problem reigns sumpreme! You get 300 starting chips and for $20 rebuy you get 1000 chips. I play the cards mostly but the players make it easy to play them, too. Here are a couple of hands from the last one.

Blinds 50/100
average stack 1200

I raise 500 2nd pos with KK
Mid pos reraises all in with 44.
I win!

Blinds 200/400
Average 3200
I raise 4bb with AA (mid pos)
BB calls
Flop Q 9 10
BB pushes (wtf?)
I call and he shows j8o for the straight.
Ugh!

I cashed in the first tournament and bubbled the 2nd and will definitely be back.
