Last one: I promise...almost :)

Ok, no real read on villian, my reasoning follows each decision.

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls, MP1 calls.

My read on the limper is that he folds to lots of aggression so I wanted to isolate him. People are decently tight (relatively, crappy games...late at night, cant find anything better). Didnt quite work out.

Flop: (6.50 SB) 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, T/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, MP1 checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls, MP1 folds.

I bet wanted to pick up the pot right here, I would either call a 3-bet and fold on turn unimproved or fold.

Turn: (4.25 BB) 5/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls.

Try and scoop the pot right here again, I might be ahead if he just has overs. I would fold to a c/r here.

River: (6.25 BB) 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks.

He wont call anything I beat him w/ and will call anything he beats me with, so I check behind him.

Final Pot: 6.25 BB

How was that?

Played perfectly - though it looks like you're up against some kind of busted draw more often than a made hand...but like you said, not many worse hands are calling you here...

Looks good to me. I really like your thought process on the hand. You had good sound reasoning for each play you made.
