I have been trying to work on being more aggressive, in this case when I got reraised twice on the turn I knew I had overdone it and would need a miracle...

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is SB with K/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button raises, Hero 3-bets, BB calls, UTG folds, UTG+2 calls, Button calls.

Flop: (13 SB) 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, T/images/graemlins/club.gif (4 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, UTG+2 checks, Button checks.

The check raise that wasn't.

Turn: (6.50 BB) K/images/graemlins/spade.gif (4 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, UTG+2 calls, Button folds, Hero 3-bets, BB caps, UTG+2 calls, Hero calls.

River: (18.50 BB) A/images/graemlins/spade.gif (3 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, UTG+2 calls, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, UTG+2 calls, Hero caps, BB calls, UTG+2 calls.

Final Pot: 30.50 BB

Miracles do happen.

Bet the flop. Giving free cards to flush draws, gut-shots, and 5-outers is no fun.

UTG+2 is a real trooper.

That is so funny! Of course they both had JQ for the straight. I don't know why UTG+2 never showed any aggression himself, I guess he thought he'd let the BB do it all for him.

It's been a wild night. I decided to play one more hand, once again, working on aggression...

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is Button with T/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, CO folds, Hero raises, SB calls, BB calls, MP1 calls, MP3 calls.

Flop: (10 SB) J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif, J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (5 players)
SB checks, BB bets, MP1 raises, MP3 calls, Hero 3-bets, SB folds, BB calls, MP1 calls, MP3 calls.

I'm thinking, no-one with a Jack would bet this flop, so I'll re-raise and see if anyone caps it. No-one does, so I must be right.

Turn: (11 BB) T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif (4 players)
BB checks, MP1 bets, MP3 calls, Hero calls, BB calls.

I don't always slow-play, but I can't see myself losing this hand (other than to quad jacks).

River: (15 BB) 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif (4 players)
BB checks, MP1 bets, MP3 calls, Hero raises, BB folds, MP1 calls, MP3 calls.

Ha, no quads I guess

Final Pot: 21 BB

Results in white below: 
MP1 has Jh Qs (three of a kind, jacks).
MP3 has 9d Jc (three of a kind, jacks).
Hero has Tc Th (full house, tens full of jacks).
Outcome: Hero wins 21 BB. 

so much for my reading ability! Ah, well, the moral is that even a blind aggressive squirrel finds a couple of nuts every evening, enough nuts for my bankroll in fact to promote it to 2/4, should I choose to climb that tree...
