Busy night, several questions. The converter rocks.

Hand 1:
Party Poker 3/6 Hold 'Em (10 handed)
CO is a LAG, in every flop, raising any piece of the board when he hits it, reloading and stacking off in $100 increments. He's a gift from above. So why was I spooked on the river; clear reraise, right?

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif. MP3 posts a blind of $3. CO posts a blind of $4.
Hero raises, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 (poster) calls, CO (poster) calls, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls.

Flop: (10.66 SB) 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero bets, UTG+1 folds, MP3 raises, CO 3-bets, BB folds, Hero calls, MP3 calls.

Turn: (9.83 BB) 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>

River: (13.83 BB) 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
Hero bets, CO raises, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 17.83 BB

Results in white: <font color="white">Hero shows Qd Kd (a flush, king high with king kicker). CO shows 5s Jd



</font> Hand 2:
Party Poker 1/2 Hold 'Em (10 handed)
UTG+2 is a tight, solid player. Easy fold?

Preflop: Hero is CO with Q/images/graemlins/club.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 raises, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, Hero 3-bets, Button folds, SB calls, BB folds, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls.

SB checks, UTG+1 bets, UTG+2 raises, Hero folds, SB folds, UTG+1 calls.




Hand 3:
Party Poker 3/6 Hold 'Em (10 handed)
Too aggressive on the flop? Standard call down after he 3-bets?

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG folds, Hero raises, UTG+2 3-bets, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds, Hero calls.

Hand 4:
Party Poker 3/6 Hold 'Em (9 handed)
Table was passive and loose. Fold/raise PF or is limping okay? Bet the river?

UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO calls, Button folds, SB completes, BB checks.

Hand 5:
Party Poker 3/6 Hold 'Em (7 handed)
Slow down on the turn? I knew I was behind as soon as the Ace hit, and I still don't understand what compelled me to lead out and reraise. Grrr. Dumb decision. Poker karma for completing with cheese in the SB?

Preflop: Hero is SB with 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO calls, Button folds, Hero completes, BB raises, CO calls, Hero calls.

Hey, I notice you got 0 replies. I'll give it my best shot.

Hand 1: Against any semi-respectable player I'd just call. Not many players will raise in this spot without the A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif. But given your description of CO I'd re-raise and call a cap.

Hand 2: Good fold.

Hand 3: After he 3 bets you have to ask your self what hands you can beat. KK is the only one, but he wouldn't 3 bet with this. After you didn't improve on the turn you should have made a tough fold.

Hand 4: Why did you back off on the river? The 2 hands you have to worry about is AQ and AJ. If he has AQ then he's probably going to show more strength on the flop and turn. This is because he knows he's not behind AK since you didn't raise PF. If he has AJ...well that sucks, but you really won the hand since he didn't get any raises in with the best hand.

Hand 5: This is tricky. BB's raising standards are altered because he sees 1 LP limper and a SB completion, both implications of weakness. This means he could think he has the best hand with a variety of holdings. I like your flop CR but as soon as I see that ace slide off I slow down.

Overall solid play here. Regarding hand 3, think about actually reading his hand instead of staying in because you have top pair with a good kicker.
