Please feel free to comment on all the ways I played these great hands incorrectly..
-------
Hand 1:
Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed)
Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="666666">3 folds</font>, CO calls, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls, UTG calls.
Flop: (8.50 SB) 6/images/graemlins/club.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, CO folds, <font color="CC3333">BB raises</font>, UTG folds, Hero calls.
So I'm check-raised on the flop with two 8's on the board. My read on BB is that he is super-loose and aggressive. I debated folding vs. calling him down, opted for calling him down.
Turn: (6.25 BB) T/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero calls.
River: (8.25 BB) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero calls.
Final Pot: 10.25 BB
<font color="green">Main Pot: 10.25 BB, between BB and Hero.</font>

Hand 2:
Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed)
Preflop: Hero is CO with A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="666666">3 folds</font>, MP1 folds, MP2 calls.
Flop: (8.50 SB) 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP2 calls.
Turn: (6.25 BB) 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, Hero calls.
So I 3-bet pre-flop, raise the flop, then get bet into on the turn. I thought for a minute about raising, but decide to just call it down. (Noticing a pattern here? /images/graemlins/smile.gif )
River: (8.25 BB) 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, Hero calls.
Final Pot: 10.25 BB
-------
Hand 3:
UTG+1 in this hand is the BB from hand #1. By this point in the evening, I was convinced the guy was playing any 2 cards. I saw him call 2-bets pre-flop with J3o. The guy would play anything, and raise a lot of very bad hands.
Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed)
Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="666666">6 folds</font>, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 caps</font>, Hero calls.
Flop: (9.50 SB) 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, J/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 3-bets</font>, Hero calls.
Okay, I didn't quite believe his pre-flop cap, so I raised him here. But he 3-bet it, so now I think he really has a hand. Again, I call him down.

River: (9.75 BB) 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, Hero calls.
Final Pot: 11.75 BB

Hand 4:
And then this is the very next hand (perhaps I was on tilt?), but a different opponent.
Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed)
Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
<font color="666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="666666">3 folds</font>, CO calls, Button calls, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls,
Flop: (8.50 SB) 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif, J/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, CO calls, Button folds, BB folds.
Turn: (5.25 BB) K/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">CO bets</font>, Hero calls.
I'm not sure if he has a K here, or just on the heart draw..
River: (7.25 BB) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">CO bets</font>, Hero calls.
Perhaps I should fold here?

<font color="666666">3 folds</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, MP2 calls, CO calls.
Flop: (7.50 SB) J/images/graemlins/club.gif, 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>

Turn: (5.25 BB) A/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, CO folds, Hero folds.
MP2 was fairly loose, which made me want to call him. But on the other hand, he was very likely to have A3o or something like that, so I folded. Bad fold?
