Rebuy Holdem Strategy

Just curious about other people's strategy for the first hour of a rebuy tournament. if you are facing a very loose table with a lot of calling stations (who are willing to push/call all in with almost any hand), how do you approach such a table? should i be playing only premium hands (knowing that if i hit anything i'll most likely get paid off)? or should i be trying to mix it up more (i.e. taking more 50-50 chances)?

With rebuy tournies I tend to play the same range I would with a freezeout but I value my bets a little more.

For the most part I have always usually built my stack up 4x before rebuys end because someone will call your shove with a looser range than you and you will double up.

I guess the easiest way to play a rebuy tourney is to do the opposite of everyone else I find. If the table is loose I am tight but when I go in with a hand I trying to pot commit myself as quickly as possible to eliminate multiway pots (especially with PPs)

In a tight table I am normally playing more position and trying to pick on the weaker players who continuation bet with anything and I float them then pick off the turn after they check.
