Default First 55, first hand, first doubt

I decided to take a stab at the 55s tonight. I didn't get any time to adjust, since the first hand had me getting into the pot:

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed)

(all stacks t1000)

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls t15, UTG+1 calls t15, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls t15, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t15, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, BB checks.

Flop: (t85) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets t15</font>, MP1 calls t15, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t100</font>, BB folds, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls t85.

Turn: (t300) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
MP1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t150</font>, MP1 calls t150.

River: (t600) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
MP1 checks, Hero checks.

I like the line. But i prolly bet a touch more on the turn (more the 200 mark).

Otherwise its all good, and yes, you must check the river.

Nothing like the donks playing 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] from mp1. Anyway, AQ is a hand that I always muck in level 1, for this very reason. Too many donks.

The best part of this is, the donk doesn't even know how to get his implied odds to call the turn bet out of this. I'm sure a bet of t100-150 would have gotten a call (maybe?) out of hero. So yes, they still are donks at this level.

Oh wait, I forgot that he was boycotting the hand converter. I guess I'll have to say it: raise preflop.
