Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (9 max, 9 handed) converter

table's vpip is 26, avg pot around $20. I've got a tag, a fish, two lags in with me.

Preflop: Hero is Button with 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP3 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP3 calls, Hero calls.

sb is 30/16, but an oop raise vs this many people can only be a value raise.

Flop: (9 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP3 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, UTG+1 folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 caps</font>, Hero calls, SB calls.

sb's line looks like an overpair, but mp3s call/cap line on the flop frightens and confuses me.

mp3 also drops a [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] into the chat box after the cap.

Turn: (11 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 bets</font>, Hero calls, SB calls.

I clearly have to improve here to win.

River: (14 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP3 raises</font>, Hero folds, SB calls.

I hate this, but I don't see an alternative.

Final Pot: 18 BB

Guess a downswing is causing me to question my play in big pots like this. Next time I'll post one that I know I played horribly. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
