£20 1R1A - 18/20
I treated this one like a freezeout, given just 13 runners sat down at the start (20 by the end of the rebuy period). Ended up taking £740.
Was basically card dead for the first 4 levels covering the rebuy period. Chipped up from 5.5k to 8k taking some pots without showdown.
Best hand I saw was AJ, called a raise in position (good as he had AK), missed and folded vs 3 oppos. Limped LP with 89, flopped A87dd, checked around 4 way, called a stab from the BB on turn 2d, SB also called, then managed to get some thin value on blank river vs 85.
Penultimate hand of the rebuy period was hilarious. 4 limpers to me at 100/200, I make it 1700 on the button out of my 8k stack with 77. Blinds and two limpers fold, HJ calls, then the CO moves in for 3.5k with KK. CO had only played a couple of hands, very passive, clearly inexperienced. I"m not in great shape vs her range but move in to iso as I"m miles ahead of the HJs range. He pretty much snap calls for his above average 7.5k stack with what he terms "suited connectors", i.e. Q3ss.
Board A6475. So from looking good to win the 9k side pot, then hitting my set on the turn to go huge favourite for a 22k pot (3x average), it all goes horribly wrong.
Leaves me with 475 at 100/200. Shove dark and everyone folds. I flip AQ, rabbit hunt and hit the Ace in the window. Standard.
With only £540 taken at that point I decide not to rebuy, they eventually took £740 but still not really worth it. 3 hands after the break I jam my 2.5BBs with Q9cc. Q3 guy in the BB calls with A7cc. Board xQxxA just to take the piss a little bit more.
Still, £40 more to be refunded.

Still trying to find the bad beat.

£30 1R1A - 10/46
Nothing too exciting. Didn"t win a hand in the first hour to drop to 5k out of the starting 8,250. Took one rebuy and went to the break with 14k after raise, cbet, shove AJ on KTxx.
Won 3 more hands - all double ups!
43hh v J8cc on 632cc flop. I effectively 3jam flop and hold.
AJ v KThh on AA8hh. I open EP, 3 callers. Cbet 1/2 pot and call shove.
89 v 87 v J9cc on 853cc flop. J9 limps button, 87 completes. I check, SB jams short stack for 2xPot. I reship, get called by button and somehow hold.
Went a bit wrong after that, got put in a lot of marginal spots, including folding KK preflop (incorrectly). Villain had been fairly tight, never got out of line that we saw, seemed to slightly overbet his strong, non-nut hands. We both have 70k, over double average. He opens to 3k UTG at 500/1000/100. I make it 9k on the button (slightly bigger than usual as I expect a flat or shove). He then pretty much clicks it back to 20k. It"s so against his previous bet sizing, and when I can"t get a definitive physical tell I let it go and he shows QQ. Just an unfortunate combination of circumstances really - and everyone else at the table read him for AA/KK. I went with my gut, it"s usually right but unfortunately not on this occasion!
I picked up a double four flushing with A9 v shortie AK, shoved a few pots, then jammed 11x from the SB on the FT bubble with A3 into TT and didn"t get there. Left me with 8k at 3000/6000/500. Someone got knocked out 2 hands (which I"m forced to fold) later so I arrive at the FT with 7000 - obviously I draw the big blind!
Get it in with 73xx v K9xx v AcKs. Get my hopes up on Kx 7s 3s board but dashed on Js 8s run out.
One life not taken, so £30 refund due. Have updated 2nd post with current status.

Hey guys,
Apologies, but will have to scrub the Saturday game. When sorting out this schedule I wasn"t very smart in checking what I was already planning to do with friends - notably holding a Champs League/Froch v Kessler party.
With no guarantee on the comp and the GUKPT in Pompey it"s not likely to get a great deal of runners anyway - sorry guys for my ineptitude!
