LEVEL 2 (15/30)
(Rebuy 1500 chips)…stack 2985

Did not see a hand better than Q4. Should I be taking chances this early in the rebuy period with pretty much any two cards because of aggressive players?

LEVEL 7 (100/200 ante 25) (Re-buy period is over)

NO HANDS played at this level. Still loose game, dealt no hands, and got no steal opportunities. Am i playing to tight? Blinds are only 10 minutes long.

LEVEL 8 (200/400 ante 25) Stack: 8900

Dealt Kqo in MP2. UTG min-raises. MP1 calls. I fold. This is the only reasonable hand I am dealt at this level also.

LEVEL 9 (300/600 ante 50) Stack: 8150

Uneventful once again. Lots of looose calling stations are in on every hand. There is an average of 3-4 people seeing the flop whether it is raised or not. Stealing is not possible.

LEVEL 10 (400/800 ante 50) Stack: 6750

Dealt A5s in CO. MP1 raises 1600. MP3 calls. I fold. BB calls. Should I be playing these marginal hands in late position as blinds increase?

Dealt 77 in MP2. UTG raises to 1600 I raise AI 6500. SB calls with Q10. UTG calls.

Flop Q 10 4...9...4..I bust in 335th place

Any comments or suggestions are appreciated. I know I donked a few plays in the rebuy period but felt that I really was on a bad run during the second hour. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.
