This table is tight and lacking imagination. Probably a lot of weak tighties, but there aren't many showdowns so I have surprisingly little information about the players.
I have been playing controlled. To be honest, its because of the stakes. I normally play 1-2 on a smallish bankroll because I am paying for a lot of stuff with my poker money and am therefore hovering around 2k. I have a lot of gamble in me and felt like playing $2-4 so I did.
HAND 1
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
BB ($104.45)
Hero ($670.85)
MP ($346.80)
CO ($796.85)
Button ($484.75)
SB ($553.95)
Preflop: Hero is UTG with 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $12</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls $12, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls $8.
Flop: ($38) 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $25</font>, Button calls $25, BB calls $25.
Turn: ($113) 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets $4</font>, Hero calls $4, Button folds.
This was a wierd spot. I was afraid to raise because of the button so I decided to call.
River: ($121) 4/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $64</font>
This is putting him all in. I felt like my turn call could easily mean I had AK or AQ here.
HAND 2
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
UTG ($91.45)
Hero ($663.85)
CO ($518.80)
Button ($818)
SB ($422.70)
BB ($458.95)
Preflop: Hero is MP with 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG calls $4, Hero calls $4, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $20</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, UTG folds, Hero calls $16.
Don't get upset
Flop: ($50) A/images/graemlins/club.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 7/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets $32</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $80</font>, CO calls $48.
I really didn't know what to do here. Check-folding was definitely a possibility but I felt that villain would be betting the flop with a lot of hands that I beat like KK-99 and KQ. I thought that if I just called here I would have no idea how to play it on the turn. Also I think my play may look like a set.
Turn: ($210) 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $116</font>, CO folds.
Continued my flop play, and now I have a decent draw.

SB ($39.45)
Hero ($709.85)
UTG ($150.80)
MP ($1041.85)
Button ($449.55)
Preflop: Hero is BB with Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG calls $4, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $8</font>, Button calls $8, SB calls $6, Hero calls $4, UTG calls $4.
Flop: ($40) K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP bets $12</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $24</font>, SB folds, Hero calls $24, UTG folds, MP calls $12.
Turn: ($112) 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP bets $28</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $56</font>, Hero calls $56, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $160</font>, Button calls $104, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $677.85</font>
Standard? Some kind of wierd decisions because CO and button were betting strangely.
<font color="#FFFFFF">
I included this because I felt it was interesting that button called with 93 and might shed some light on how he read my play.
Button called I was afraid that he had 22 but...
Hero has Qd 8d (flush, king high).
Button has 3d 9h (two pair, kings and nines).
Outcome: Hero wins $1367.40. </font>
