Am I smoking crack?

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

since PP is tight at 1/2, I figure I will limp in since I don't want to scare everyone off. But MP2 gets a lot of callers, so I figure.. hey.. if I hit the flush, I want to get paid, so I raise knowing that everyone will call. Plus, this will instill some doubt into MP2.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q/images/graemlins/club.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif. CO posts a blind of $1.50.
Hero calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, <font color="CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, MP3 folds, CO (poster) folds, Button calls, SB calls, BB folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, MP2 calls, Button calls, SB calls.

Flop: (14.50 SB) K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 4/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP2 calls, Button folds, SB calls.

Hmm, I wiffed, but I may not be out.. A few notes A couple of comments here. MP2 is TA. SB is the biggest LAG on the planet VP$IP: 80, PFR 24... I figure him for Ax at this point based on previous play (he is so bad that I have him in my friends list and look for him whenver I can). I re-raise to attempt to isolate the SB, but as it turns out, MP2 isn't getting out. On the other hand, MP2 isn't showing strength and is probably following Ed Miller's big pot advice at this point. I figure he doesn't have AA, AK, or KK. He may have QQ, rendering my Q outs unclean though.

Turn: (10.25 BB) 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 calls, SB calls.

Strike two, but take one more wack at MP2 to see if he will leave. Nope, not going to happen.


River: (13.25 BB) 6/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, MP2 checks.

Ok, I am not pushing anyone out of this pot. Check/call and see how it plays out.


Final Pot: 13.25 BB

Results in white below: <font color="white">
SB shows As Qh (high card, ace).
Hero shows Qc Ac (high card, ace).
MP2 shows Jc Js (one pair, jacks).
Outcome: MP2 wins 13.25 BB. </font>

first in i would open raise with AQs...

don't call a bet on the river, you can't beat any holding that MP could have...
