Looking back at a few hands this session, found these two hands which were very similar. I played them both a little differently too. Funny how that works.

Preflop: Hero is SB with J/images/graemlins/heart.gif, T/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, Button calls, Hero calls, BB calls.
This preflop call is sketchy, but doable depending on the read of the raiser. Unfortunately, looking back at it, the raiser was a rock with TAG tendencies. Definately should have folded given that read. Bah.
Flop: (8 SB) 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 7/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, Button calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, BB calls, CO calls, Button folds.
I flop a flush draw, and given my relative position to the raiser, I decide to bet straight out. Hopefully the TAG will raise so I can three-bet. My pot equity is strong here so I decide to push it now.
Turn: (9.50 BB) A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets</font>, Hero calls, BB calls.
I miss, so I check. My equity here is about 28% so I'd need at least one more caller to make a bet profitable.
River: (12.50 BB) 9/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, CO folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, BB calls.
I make my straight and decide to check-raise. BB, an unknown wakes up and decides to bet out. I have the nuts so I do not mind capping this for value.
Final Pot: 21.50 BB

Hand 2:
PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (10 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

UTG calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+2 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+2 calls, Hero calls.
Standard methinks.
Flop: (10.40 SB) 9/images/graemlins/club.gif, 3/images/graemlins/club.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>

Flopped straight and flush draws. CO is to my direct left, so I decide to check-raise this for value.
Turn: (9.20 BB) 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
UTG checks, UTG+2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, CO calls, UTG folds, UTG+2 calls.
No luck yet, but my equity right now is ~37%, so this is for value with even 2 players calling.

UTG+2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, CO calls, UTG+2 folds.
