Forget about rebuying. This is a math question above all.

Hero has $25. In MP with t7ss. Straddle on button, 1/2 game. Hero has no more bullets in his roll. But can always Rob a liquor store.

4 calls to hero. Should hero shove to win the juicy 16 in the middle? Assuming fairly tight table with probably 2 callers max.

Move up where they respect your raises and shove!

Lol...a $25 shove in a 1/2 game will garner exactly zero FE, never mind in a straddled pot. If you already assume you'll get two callers, why shove with T-high? There's no shame in cashing out...

Lets say you shove, and you fold everyone out except one player.

Lets say you call, knowing your few $ are going in before the river anyway. You call, more call, players already in the pot call. I think I like this choice better.

Cash out your $25 in chips. Buy $25 in powerball tickets. Hit the jackpot and bang lots of hot chicks. Easy game.

This is the only acceptable answer.

The other, unacceptable one, is fold. Easy easy fold.

Also it doesn't sound like you forgot about rebuying but rather are unable to rebuy since you have no more bullets. Those are two very different things.

once you can no longer reload to the max it's time to call it a day and cash out

As to your question - no your raise will not get any respect. My standard raise with a hand like AK and JJ+ is $20 and it gets about 4 callers sometimes.

i've even played in games where I 3bet to $200 pre and got 2 callers(8h7h and Ad2d both called me). Best game in town
