OK . . . Here's a hand -- Villian too tight?

[schroedy]

I apologize for the fact that Party hand records don't show the other players' up cards. I limped 3rd st. because there were two or three overcards behind me. I raised 4th street for similar reasons and to isolate the guy in front of me who had, I think 79 unsuited up. Comments on HERO or villian appreciated.

Hand histories are hard enough to read as it is. If you can't tell us what anybody had, it's hard to comment on your play. And what was the question, anyway?

[schroedy]

OK -- I made a mess of that hand history. When I am playing (even online) I tend to focus on playing, not taking notes. Sorry. Another reason I will have a hard time posting hands.

I had a pair of 10's and a low side card on third street with the Th up. Behind me were the Kd, the Qd and, I think, another overcard. So I limped. I was not planning to call a raise/completion.

On fourth street, Villian, showing something like 97 unsuited, bet following several checks, I raised with two hearts showing, trying to isolate him, figuring I was currently ahead with TT, or at worst not far behind a lower two pair. One other player with a picture card came along.

On fifth street, I caught another h, and Villian caught another straight card (he told me later he had the straight). I am not sure what the third player caught. Villian bets and I raise, thinking I can represent the flush here. Third player folds, and Villian calls.

On sixth, I catch the fourth H up and bet it out. Villian goes into his tank, starts his talking routine, and I wait it out. He finally folds.

1) Is my play chip spewing and lucky, or reasonably sound?

2) Does villian have enough information to call the 4 hearts strongly played, or is his fold sound under the circumstances.

I havent played on party for a couple months but I believe that hand history that you see when you click on the hand number in the corner of the screen not only doesnt show the players up cards but also scrambles the showdown cards. However, if I remember correctly you can also have a hand history sent to you via email. The e-mailed HH shows the players upcards I believe. I'm not sure whether or not the email version scrambles the showdown. I don't think it does.
