A last minute decision yesterday afternoon, saw me make the trip to Luton, on my lonesome, for the £75 freezeout. Things started nicely and within about 45 mins I had increased my starting stack from 5k to around 8k... then a mis-timed bluff cost me about 3k, the rot set in and at the first break I was down to 3.5k chips. 
I battled on for another 90 mins or so, then with AJs in the cut-off I raise it up... all fold to the BB who re-raises all-in, I'm pretty much committed to the pot and call, leaving me with about 700 chips... I'm pretty happy to see him turn over A9o, until the dealer turns over a 9 on the river! Doh!! A couple of hands later I push with KTo, two callers followed by an all-in... the two callers fold and the cards go on their backs... I'm actually in much better shape than I expected, having two live cards against his AJo... even better when the flop is AQJ, no nightmares A or J on the turn or river and I have enough chips to be able to shuffle again... the recovery was short lived though, next hand I push with AQs and run into QQ... out with about 35'ish of the 60 runners remaining.
Whilst I really don't like re-buy tournaments, they have a £50 plus 1 re-buy/add-on tournament, on Wednesdays, which I think actually represents better value. The £75 f/out is plus £10 reg fee, making an outlay of £85 for 5k chips. Since the £50 re-buy only has a £5 reg fee, this means a maximum total investment of £105, for 8k chips (2 x 4k).
