So was I overly aggressive with this? What plays would you change? No real read on BB, but I made sure to make a few notes after the hand.

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with J/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, Hero raises, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.

<font color="green">Raised to build up a pot for my drawing hand and to get position.</font>

Flop: (8.50 SB) 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(4 players) </font>
BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, Hero bets, BB raises, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, Hero 3-bets, BB calls.

<font color="green">Semi-bluff bet followed by a 3-bet so I can hopefully check the turn if a useless card hits.</font>

Turn: (7.25 BB) K/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
BB checks, Hero bets, BB raises, Hero 3-bets, BB calls.

<font color="green">Feeling good, definitely not putting BB on Ace high flush as he would have capped it I think.</font>

River: (13.25 BB) 3/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
BB checks, Hero bets, BB raises, Hero calls.

<font color="green">This is where I made a big error I think. Only sensible hand BB was to have was a set? What about 65 or 74? Lower flush? Does anyone out there bet this river?</font>

Final Pot: 17.25 BB
<font color="#990066">Main Pot: 17.25 BB, between BB and Hero.</font> &gt; <font color="white">Pot won by BB (17.25 BB).</font>

Results in white below: <font color="white">
BB shows 3c 3d (four of a kind, threes).
Hero shows Jh Qh (flush, king high).
Outcome: BB wins 17.25 BB. </font>

I think you played it fine. Checking the river would probably be seeing monsters under the bed.

Looks routine, if you are going to gain position by raising preflop and not looking a limp-reraise, then good.

Once the board pairs your river call is fine.

Often in a soft-Laggish online game raising the river will be correct, forget checking.

Peace,
