Just won an indisputed 1600 playing 10/20 (play chips) PL @ UB. I'd like your feedback on it, as I'm sure there are a number of elements that I could use to refine my play.
I'm on the button and dealt: A /images/graemlins/spade.gif Q /images/graemlins/heart.gif
The whole table limps to me and I limp (pointless raising here, right?). The SB completes and BB checks.
Pot: 20SB
The flop comes down: 9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 4 /images/graemlins/club.gif A /images/graemlins/heart.gif
Ok, not bad. Top pair w/ second kicker. The whole table checks it around to me. Seeing that my hand is good, but vulnerable, I bet the pot (200), in hopes to drive out anyone on a draw, or buy it outright, though unlikely. I get too callers: a guy in MP1 who is loose and a poor player, but fairly aggressive when he thinks he's got the best of it. I also get a gal in LP1. This is her second hand and I don't know her disposition, yet.
Pot: 40BB
The Turn is: K /images/graemlins/heart.gif
Not exactly the card my Queen wanted to see. It's checked to me. I know that I need to bet, but I'm not sure how much. I'm fairly sure that I've got the best hand. I ended up betting half the pot (400). MP1 calls and LP1 folds. Heads-up to the river.
Pot: 80BB
The River: 3 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
A complete blank. I'm certain I'm boss and bet the pot. My opponent folds. How'd I do?

That was one of two hands out of 100 that I won. My cards were ice cold, but I ended up breaking even on those two wins.
