UTG (t865)
MP1 (t1205)
MP2 (t65)
CO (t1880)
Button (t1850)
Hero (t1180)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t100, MP1 folds, MP2 calls t65 (All-In), CO folds, Button folds, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t365) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players, 1 all-in)
Hero bets t250, BB folds, UTG calls t250.

Turn: (t865) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players, 1 all-in)
Hero bets t830 (All-In), UTG calls t515 (All-In).

River: (t2210) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players, 3 all-in)

Final Pot: t2210

Results in white below: 
UTG shows Jh Qh (flush, queen high).
MP2 shows 4d 9d (one pair, tens).
Hero shows 8s 7s (two pair, tens and eights).
Outcome: UTG wins t1895. Hero wins t315. 

On this hand, I thought he was on a draw, maybe top pair, but I felt fairly confident I was ahead in the hand. I don't know if I could have played it any other way that would have made him give up on his flush draw. Comments?

UTG+1 (t800)

Flop: (t90) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB bets t30, BB folds, Hero raises to t125, SB folds.

Final Pot: t245

Results in white below: 
No showdown. Hero wins t245. 

On this hand, I was worried about the flush or even the straight. I don't think I could have milked it for anything and felt good about it, so I raised. Comments?

Hand 3:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (4 handed) converter

saw flop|saw showdown

Button (t2410)
Hero (t1400)
BB (t1245)
UTG (t2945)

Preflop: Hero is SB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls t100, Button calls t100, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (t400) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 players)

Hero bets t125, BB calls t125, Button calls t125.

River: (t1225) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)

Final Pot: t1425

Results in white below: 
BB shows Td Ac (one pair, tens).
Hero shows Ts 7c (one pair, tens).
Outcome: BB wins t1425. 

On this hand I flopped TPBK and led out. I think maybe I should check raise and see how it is played out. If he reraises, I can give it up pretty easily, but if he just calls my raise, should I go ahead and bet out?

Hand 4:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter

saw flop|saw showdown

SB (t2135)
Hero (t1325)
UTG (t1895)
Button (t2645)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG folds, Button calls t200, SB folds, Hero checks.

Flop: (t500) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets t1125 (All-In), Button calls t1125.

Turn: (t2750) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players, 1 all-in)

River: (t2750) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players, 1 all-in)

Final Pot: t2750

Results in white below: 
Hero shows 8c Qc (high card, king).
Button shows Jh Js (three of a kind, jacks).
Outcome: Button wins t2750. 

How bad was the push on this hand? I thought the button would limp in with maybe an ace, bad kicker or maybe KQ, so I thought a push here would get him to fold. Even if he doesn't, I still have outs. If he has a jack, I still have one overcard as well. Comments?

Thanks in advance.
