Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
button has low standards for raising and has been super aggro. with mediocre hands.

<font color="666666">3 folds</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, CO (poster) checks, <font color="CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, MP1 calls, CO folds, Button calls.

Flop: (10.50 SB) 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, T/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero calls, MP1 calls.

Final Pot: 15.25 BB
<font color="green">Main Pot: 15.25 BB, between Button and Hero.</font> &gt; <font color="white">Pot won by Button (15.25 BB).</font>

Results in white below: <font color="white">
Hero has Ac Kh (one pair, twos).
Button has 9s 9d (two pair, nines and twos).
Outcome: Button wins 15.25 BB. </font>

I figured I could get MP1 to fold a hand that beat me. Was this my best chance to win the pot. I wasn't expecting the Button to fold but I thought I could be best against him, but definatly not against 2 opponents.

I check-raise the flop in this situation.

I am checkraising the flop to try to get it heads-up and, against a true maniac, calling down expecting to win a good deal of the time unimproved.
