you have a pair and a flush draw in the first hand with only a starting stack.  I definitely get it in 100% of the time in a rebuy period here, and if i lose I just rebuy.  If this was a freeze out, the hand would play differently – but in a rebuy where everyone is rushing to get chips while people are playing loose – this is as good of a time as any to accumulate some much needed chips.

2nd hand is great because we're getting another stack mixed up in there.  The difference between 4800 chips and 3000 chips is minimal, but if you win this hand you'll have upwards of 11000 chips.  That's a large difference and can really affect how the rest of the tournament goes for you.
