This is my first hand I'm posting. First some background: I stopped playing a PartyPoker eight weeks ago. A few days ago, they deposited $15 into my account. I figure it's their money. I'll just play and see what happens, half-expecting just to lose it quickly.
After just a few hours of play, i was up to $80 and the bonus cleared after 90 raked hands. After what happened to me the first time I played at Party, I knew I should just take the money and run. But no, like last time, I played until I went broke. And it's hands like this that make me wonder about PartyPoker. The wild swings are just insane. You either win a fortune or lose a fortune.
So I think I played this okay. If not, please let me know where I went wrong. But what I really want to know is if it's just me or is this typical at Party. I probably won't play at Party any more (or at least until they give me more money). But I will continue to play at Royal Vegas where I generally do well and at least made back all the money I lost at Party.

With the raise on the river, I had MP2 on the more obvious flush.
Was this a bad call?
Thanks for the input.
