I've had one of the worst online poker weeks of my life and I'd like some feedbackon a few hands. I'll resist the nearly overwhelming urge to post the obvious bad beats (all in gutshots hitting, 4 outers, etc.) and instead post a few hands I probably misplayed.
Hand 1:
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed)
FTR converter on zerodivide.cx
Button ($188.45)

UTG+1 ($100)

MP2 ($59.30)
MP3 ($259.36)
CO ($136.25)
Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.50.

Final Pot: $52
Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has Ad Ac (three of a kind, aces).
BB has Jd Th (straight, ace high).
Outcome: BB wins $52. </font>
I realize mistake #1 was not betting the flop.
I check call the river cause there's quite a few drawing hands that beat me, and I actually feel I'm beat when the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] hits.

Is this fold too weak? I figure he hit his flush or hit a 4 on the flop. In retrospect, I guess I have outs (the 2 jacks, and
probably any heart.)
But then what would my action be on the turn if a blank hits? Check/fold?
Ugh. Very frustrated right now and probably shouldn't be going back to the tables on tilt..oh well.
Comments appreciated.
