Can't be arsed writing much but just wanted to note down what's happened - played a 10 dollar freeze on stars - 1200 runners - 135 paid - hung around for a couple of hours but went out about 280th - no real opportunities or cards. Also played the forum game on Ladbrokes - 19 runners and all good players - big chip stack and slow blinds so it makes for a great game. Didn't get as many flop seeing hands as I would have liked but won a fair bit when my 99 hit it's set. Was just getting to the stage where I needed to muff when I was lucky enough to get AA and doubled up. After 3 hours i found myself heads up and a 3 to 1 chip dog. got them in with pocket tens after a 996 flop but Tony2005 who had been chip leader for a while had pocket sixes for a flopped full house - no complaints as he'd played well and deserved the win. these games aren't really about the money but 51$ for a 10$ investment was nice.

playing the 5$ rebuy on Stars and the 10$ rebuy on Laddies so will update in a bit.
Hmm - 2666 runners in the stars game - was about 600/1200 after nearly 2 hours when I found QQ in the SB - button calls - i raise - 8 4 2 flop - I bet - he raises and I put him all in - his pocket 8's had hit and that was the end of that - maybe should have folded to his raise but a flopped set is hard to get away from when you have a high pp - also he'd been a bit loose.

currently 33/109 in the laddies 10 rebuy - 278 runners with 30 paid so fingers crossed. Bugger. Out 34th. Stupid play probably and I won't enjoy looking back at this when I read it in a few weeks time but I was low stacked - 33/34 - with about 4 and a half BB left when I got the Scandi aces (Jack ten suited) in the SB - now i'm probably folding to any raise and calling if there are calls before I act but it was folded round to me and I pushed all in to lose to the BB's AK suited. He'd been pretty tight so I was expecting a fold or would have been happy to race a small pair. Really don't know how bad that was - could have done with the 40 odd dollars for cashing (30 invested with a rebuy and add on) but mtt's aren't about cashing - with 278 runners the decent money is in the top 3 so maybe I was right to push.
Ah well tomorrow's another day.
