I've really started devoting some more time to improving my play. I took a beating last night, and a big problem was how I played the flop and beyond when I missed the flop with big cards.
By the way, how awesome is Bison's converter?!?! Here is the first hand. I'm not sure what I couldn't have done differently. I'm not sure why my opponent waited 'til the river to let me know I was behind.

Comments on the pre-flop raise and flop check are welcome. I'm not sure if the fact that I was running so bad scared me away from firing at the flop. I also figured in the number of opponents when I checked.

Do you play this hand this way preflop? The table was shorthanded. I figured my big ace was pretty strong.
Where should I have folded? Or, should I hang in there like a little calling station?

Everything looks pretty good, not much more you could do, except thank MP1 for playing his QQ so weakly. |

I would like to see some comments on the KQo raise UTG. I would've just limped here...the whole "only getting calls from dominating hands" thing. I'd bet the flop, see what happens. Fold the turn. |

I'm not sure why my opponent waited 'til the river to let me know I was behind.
He allowed you to bet his hand for him. He should have raised the turn. I'm not sure what I couldn't have done differently. You played the hand fine. |

Looks good to me. A week ago I would've said to re-raise the river. But I think that was the more compulsive Raiser. MP1 is calling, calling, calling. Unless he's a complete idiot (a distinct possibility at .5/1 Party) he has to consider the possibilty that you have an Ace. My guess is that he either (a) hit his two pair on the river or (b) had you beat by a set and is dragging you along.
