Ive been at this table for a few orbits and both players in this hand have been raising preflop quite a bit. Ive either been card dead or raised out of marginal hands, so I thought I'd give this one a go.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.5 BB (6 max, 4 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

UTG ($60.85)
Hero ($48.25)
SB ($53.95)
BB ($23.6)

Preflop: Hero is Button with T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $2</font>, Hero calls $2, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls $1.50.

Flop: ($6.25) 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif, T/images/graemlins/club.gif, 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $3</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $8</font>, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $20</font>, Hero calls $12.

Turn: ($46.25) 5/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $38.85 (All-In)</font>, Hero calls $26.25 (All-In).

River: ($111.35) 6/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 2 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: $111.35

I had a feeling I was beat when I was reraised, but when I get that feeling and call I usually win (if the player is lag).

Later on I had KQ vs. a $3 raise and I called. Flopped the king and went to the river with the guy and got stacked by K3 with a 3 on the river. Most of the money didnt go in until the river, but I was still getting 3 to 1 to call.

An orbit or so later, I had 55 and check-raised the 3 dollar bet (he was raising to three on most hands) to 10. from the button vs the BB I was behind 3 over cards on the flop, but I had my mind made up and went to the felt with it, rivering a 5 to take it.
That was a crazy game of poker.
