I've only been at the table for an orbit or two, so no real reads on the opponents. Haven't seen them do anything crazy though.
Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (9 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, J/images/graemlins/club.gif. MP2 posts a blind of $0.50. CO posts a blind of $0.50.
<font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP2 (poster) checks, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO (poster) checks, Button calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls, MP2 folds, CO calls, Button calls.

Flop: (9 SB) Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, BB calls, CO folds, Button calls.

Turn: (6 BB) 5/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

Hero's action? This may just be a case of falling in love with a bigish pocket pair, but the lack a raise after my flop bet made me kind of suspicious of whether either of the villians had a made hand yet.

Fix your hand history. It looks messed up.

Bet the flop and keep betting if no one shows agression.

Delete "Texas" from the HH up top and it will convert.

I'd bet and fold to a raise.

Once in awhile I take a line where I check the turn, then bet the river if a blank falls, since it seems to get really marginal hands to call after that weakness, but it demands a really passive table.
