Hi Everyone,

Here are a few interesting (to me) hands I played tonight. All comments / criticisms welcome.

Hand 1: I planned to C/R any non Queen turn, that Ace was a terrible card for me, as he would have called down any other hand with his queen.

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (9 handed)

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

Flop: (5 SB) 4/images/graemlins/club.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, Hero calls.

Turn: (4.50 BB) A/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(2 players) </font>

Final Pot: 7.50 BB

Results in white below: <font color="white">
No showdown. Hero wins 7.50 BB. </font>

Hand 2: I can't possibly fold that river can I? Anyone bet the turn? I would have folded to a turn bet by the way.

Hand 3: MP1 is a total lag who limp reraised every time I raised his limps. I wussed out on the raising, I know, but I thought I was way ahead or way behind. What's a better play here please??

Hand 1: fine

Hand 2: I stand by my belief that ace high is useless in low-limit. I would fold.

Hand 3: I can't agree with you opponents play, but he does seem to be representing the jack, which beats you. I'd lay this down.
