2 hands I pulled out from this session..

CO a bit TAG but not enough hands on him. He has a turn aggressiveness of 5.0 but only over 50 hands if that means anything?

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+2 calls, <font color="666666">3 folds</font>, CO calls, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (5 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, UTG+2 folds, <font color="CC3333">CO raises</font>, SB folds, Hero calls, UTG calls.

Turn: (5.50 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">CO bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG folds, <font color="CC3333">CO 3-bets</font>, Hero folds.

<font color="green">I could have gotten to showdown for that price, but a 2+2 line cannot be check/call, check/call with a hand like this. That to me seems very weak/tighty. Is there a better line here? Must I call him down? </font>

Final Pot: 10.50 BB
<font color="green">Main Pot: 9.50 BB, won by CO.</font>
<font color="green">Pot 2: 1 BB, returned to CO.</font>

------------------

MP3 is fairly loose/passive.
No read on BB.

Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Hero calls, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (6 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(6 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero calls, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, SB folds.

<font color="green">Missed flop raise? If so, am I raising the flop for value or to knock out players? It seems counter-productive if so. Maybe someone could better explain this. </font>

Turn: (5 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero calls, MP1 folds, MP3 calls.

<font color="green">Fallen into call-down mode.</font>

River: (8 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP3 calls, BB folds.

<font color="green">Could the bet here have made a better Ten fold?
I'm second guessing betting this river now. If I check, I could have gauged by the other two players if I was going to call or not. If MP3 bets, BB calls, I could easily lay the hand down. If MP3 bets, BB folds, I would call. Thoughts? </font>
Final Pot: 10 BB
<font color="green">Main Pot: 10 BB, between Hero and MP3.</font>

Hand 1 why not bet out on the turn?

Hand 2 I raise this flop. If you call looking for overcalls there is no guarantee you get them anyway...and a raise puts pressure on a weak ace. In this case if that is MP3's holding you may have won the pot with this raise.
