UTG has been opening with a variety of weak hands, and has been showing down a lot of bluffs.
Villian has been a pretty weak player, limping PF with some terrible hands and chasing draws without any odds. He called down two pot sized bets in a raised pot with the nut flush draw (A6s for a raise).
Hero has a pretty weak image. Has not held any hands in the last 10 or so orbits. Has had been raised off of any decent hands, and hasn't been able to back up a hand to the river yet in the session.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (6 max, 6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
UTG ($400.8)
Hero ($388)
SB ($480.35)
BB <font color="#A500AF(Villian)[/color">/ ($400.5)
Preflop: Hero is Button with T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif. SB posts a blind of $2.
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $8</font>
UTG could be making this min-raise with just about any two cards. Has shown down a bunch of awful cards that he has been raising (including UTG) K4o comes to mind.

Hero calls $8
I believe that this was probably the biggest mistake I made this hand. With the minimum raise, the blinds are likely to complete. At the time, I was thinking I would just play the hand for set value, and maybe win some money as an overpair against the weak-passive players in the blinds.
SB (poster) calls $6
BB <font color="#A500AF">(Villian)</font>/ calls $4.
As expected.
These players would complete the blinds with just about anything. ESPECIALLY if it was s000ted.
Flop: ($32) 8/images/graemlins/club.gif, 9/images/graemlins/club.gif, 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, Villian checks
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $30.4</font>
This is a fairly standard continuation bet from this player. He has shown down some seriously crappy cards after making this bet in the past. Usually shuts down on the turn when called.
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $80</font>
With the overpair and open ender, I like my hand at this point, and am fairly confident that it is best. There's a decent pot out, and I figure I'll try to take it down right now. How do you guys like this raise? Too little?

This scared me quite a bit. Cold calling a bet and a raise was not something I figured this player to be capable of without a pretty damn nice hand. He had called some pot sized bets for draws, but never a raise. Unfortunatley, the only damn nice hand that I didn't see making a big check raise was the nut straight, but even then, the I figured he would raise to protect against the flush.
UTG calls $49.60.
Wow, two callers, not what I was hoping for.

Villian checks, UTG checks, Hero checks.
Not so sure about this turn check either. At the time, the cold call and UTG calling scared the hell out of me, and thought that at least one of them might have the straight.
River: ($272) 6/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Villian bets $100</font>
Alright, I got my straight... but.
The flush definately could have hit this player (one of the few pots that I did win in the session, I moved in on him with a pair and a flush draw and hit, so he may have even been "after me") who was certainly capable of making some calls with very thin (if not non-existant) odds.
Hero calls $100.
Getting about 4-1, I figure my hand is probably good 20% of the time. Anybody think it's not? Anybody think it's a split pot too often to make these odds quite accurate?
Final Pot: $472
