Paradise Poker 0.05/0.10 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, 1 fold, MP3 calls, 2 folds, SB raises, Hero 3-bets, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls, MP3 calls, SB caps, Hero calls, MP1 calls, MP3 calls.

Planning to raise but SB beats me to it. Bah, I'll show him ...

Flop: (17 SB) 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 2/images/graemlins/club.gif, 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif (4 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, MP1 bets, MP3 calls, SB calls, Hero calls.

A bet mandatory after all the PF aggression here?

Turn: (10.50 BB) A/images/graemlins/club.gif (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, MP1 calls, MP3 calls, SB calls.

Whee, an A! I'm probably good unless SB check-raises. (What the heck did he cap with PF anyhow?)

River: (14.50 BB) 3/images/graemlins/club.gif (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, MP1 raises, MP3 folds, SB folds, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 18.50 BB

Oh, that raise can't be good. Did he really have 83 soooted? I better call ...

I usu call pre-flop, but that's prob just me.

No, I think that's valid too. SSH's default play is a re-raise, but your line may have been better given that the raiser was on my immediate right. I don't mind people coming along when I'm suited, but they're likely to fold if I make'em face 2 cold.

I definetly raise the flop.

This is normally my line too, to try to fold out bottom-pair type reverse dominated hands. All the preflop action followed by the weird check threw me off.
