Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Preflop: Hero is CO with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button calls, SB folds, BB calls, MP1 calls.

Flop: (8.33 SB) 5/images/graemlins/club.gif, 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(4 players) </font>
<font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button folds, <font color="CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, MP1 calls, Hero calls.

Too aggressive given the straight-ish nature of the board? I thought I might be able to buy a free card at least.

Turn: (8.66 BB) 4/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(3 players) </font>
BB checks, MP1 checks, Hero checks.

I take the free card. I hate taking the free card. It screams "I have unpaired overcards, congratulation you win", but clearly I can't bluff them off with BB 3-betting. I suspect check-raise and I might be drawing dead anyway.

River: (8.66 BB) 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(3 players) </font>
<font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, MP1 calls, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 10.66 BB
<font color="#990066">Main Pot: 10.66 BB, between MP1 and BB.</font> &gt; <font color="white">Pot won by MP1 (10.66 BB).</font>

Results in white below: <font color="white">
BB shows 8c 3c (two pair, eights and sixes).
MP1 shows 9s 9h (two pair, nines and sixes).
Outcome: MP1 wins 10.66 BB. </font>


Here's one where I tried to bluff the turn and it didn't work:

Hand 1:
At 3/6 a raise to get a free card doesn't work very often. The rest of the hand was fine.

Hand 2:
People love to cold call with pocket pairs or Axs or paint cards. When they both call the flop I'm done with this had when I don't improve. When the turn isn't a scary card they won't fold on the turn either. I don't think the bluff is terrible though, it just doesn't work often enough with a cold caller behind you.
