Demiparadigm
This is every hand that I played for a little over an hour, including the ones I fucked up pretty horribly.

HAND 1:
Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Demiparadigm is CO with 2, T. Demiparadigm posts a blind of $15.
6 folds, Demiparadigm (poster) raises, Button calls, 1 fold, BB calls.
I posted a blind in the CO. This would be a standard fold if there was a raise ahead of me, but since it was folded to me, I raised. There are 2.5SBs in the pot, and I am investing 1SB to hopefully win it right here. I don't like a check here, since I have fold equity and position.

Flop: (6.66 SB) T, A, Q (3 players)
BB checks, Demiparadigm bets, Button calls, BB calls.
At least I flopped a pair. I have the lead in the hand, and although this is a draw heavy board, I still may win with a bet, representing the A (or better)
Turn: (4.83 BB) 5 (3 players)
BB checks, Demiparadigm checks, Button checks.
Worst case scenario: both my opponents call. I am probably behind and could be drawing dead (to a set or KJ) I am pretty much done with this hand if the button bets.
River: (4.83 BB) 3 (3 players)
BB checks, Demiparadigm bets, Button folds, BB calls.
No one showed any strength on the turn, and the scare card on the river may allow me to get a better hand to fold. I can pretty safely fold to a raise here.

Final Pot: 6.83 BB

HAND 2:
Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Demiparadigm is UTG with 3, 3.
Demiparadigm calls, UTG+1 calls, 3 folds, CO raises, 2 folds, BB calls, Demiparadigm calls, UTG+1 calls.
I don't like open-limping, and 33 is a very weak hand. This makes a fold not a bad idea. I hoped though, since I was UTG, I could get a few people to limp in after me. UTG limps are often suspect, so I was hoping there would be no raise behind me. Once CO raises, I obviously have odds to call one more bet. A 3 bet would also not be horrible, folding out UTG+1 ad making the CO afraid of AA.

Flop: (8.66 SB) 9, 3, J (4 players)
BB checks, Demiparadigm checks, UTG+1 checks, CO checks.
I flopped my set, and as this is a pretty ragged flop, I can expect CO to auto-bet after his pre-flop raise. I think a checkraise on the flop is the best plan here, both to get more bets in with the best hand, and since a number of "bad" cards could come on the turn. When CO checks through, I plan to bet the turn...

Turn: (4.33 BB) Q (4 players)
BB bets, Demiparadigm calls, UTG+1 calls, CO calls.
The turn puts 3 to a straight and 2 to a flush on the board. The BB bets into me. Here I think going for overcalls is my best option since hands that have a good chance to beat me (OESD, flush draw) probably arent folding, and everyone else is getting horrible odds to call. My plan was to call the turn and raise any card on the river that does not put 3 to a flush or 4 to a straight on board.
River: (8.33 BB) 8 (4 players)
BB checks, Demiparadigm checks, UTG+1 bets, CO calls, BB folds, Demiparadigm calls.
The river puts 3 to a flush AND 4 to a straight on board. I hate the overcall, but I am getting over 10 to 1 to call, and there is about a 10% chance I am good since no one showed much strength throughout the hand.

Final Pot: 11.33 BB

HAND 3:
Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Demiparadigm is MP3 with K, A.
5 folds, Demiparadigm raises, 3 folds, BB calls.

Flop: (4.66 SB) 8, A, 6 (2 players)
BB bets, Demiparadigm raises, BB calls.

Turn: (4.33 BB) 4 (2 players)
BB checks, Demiparadigm bets, BB calls.

River: (6.33 BB) 2 (2 players)
BB checks, Demiparadigm bets, BB folds.

Final Pot: 7.33 BB
Pretty standard.

HAND 4:
Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Demiparadigm is MP1 with J, Q.
2 folds, Demiparadigm raises, 3 folds, Button calls, 1 fold, BB =#A500AF(DoGGz)/ calls.
From this position, this hand is either open-raise or fold. Since the game was tight, I had a good chance of picking up the pot just by taking the lead, so I raised.
Flop: (6.66 SB) K, T, 8 (3 players)
DoGGz checks, Demiparadigm bets, Button raises, DoGGz calls, Demiparadigm calls.
I flopped the open ended nut-straight draw on a rainbow board, so a continuation is required. Button's raise looks like either AK or KQ. DoGGz' call is suspect. My call is automatic. If there were 1 more player, I would 3 bet for value.
Turn: (6.33 BB) 8 (3 players)
DoGGz checks, Demiparadigm checks, Button bets, DoGGz calls, Demiparadigm calls.

River: (9.33 BB) J (3 players)
DoGGz checks, Demiparadigm checks, Button bets, DoGGz raises, Demiparadigm folds, Button calls.
Jacks no good. I'll leave it as an exercise to guess what DoGGz holds.

Final Pot: 13.33 BB

HAND 5:
Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Demiparadigm is UTG+1 with T, J.
1 fold, Demiparadigm calls, 2 folds, MP3 calls, 1 fold, Button calls, SB =#A500AF(DoGGz)/ completes, BB checks.
This is another debatable hand preflop. JTs plays well multiway, and can stand a raise. Folding isn't horrible if it is to you to open. I don't like a raise here, because you are taking out the weaker hands so you are left in a small pot with hands that tend to be stronger than JT. That being said, if I were in a later position I would not hesitate to open-raise this hand.
Flop: (5 SB) 8, 9, K (5 players)
DoGGz checks, BB bets, Demiparadigm calls, MP3 folds, Button raises, DoGGz folds, BB calls, Demiparadigm 3-bets, Button caps, BB folds, Demiparadigm calls.
I flopped an open-ended straight-flush draw. I just call, hoping to get more players in the pot, and because a raise is unlikely to increase my chances of winning the hand (I have nothing to protect, and I am unlikely to buy any outs) My equity here is probably close to 50%. Once button raises, and the BB calls, I raise for value, hoping to get another bet out of each of them. Button raises, so instead I got 2 bets out of him, but lost the button.

Turn: (7.50 BB) 2 (2 players)
Demiparadigm bets, Button calls.
The button closed the action on the flop, so I think a check-raise is a better play here. I wasn't confident that button would bet when the heart came, though. At the time I felt ensuring I got a bet was better than risking it getting checked through. I only need the button to bet the flop half the time for a checkraise to be profitable, but it would be a disaster if I gave him a free card for a better flush. I would be more inclined to checkraise had I made the straight.

River: (9.50 BB) 3 (2 players)
Demiparadigm bets, Button calls.

Final Pot: 11.50 BB

HAND 6:
Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Demiparadigm is BB with 9, T.
UTG calls, 2 folds, MP1 raises, 5 folds, Demiparadigm calls, UTG 3-bets, MP1 calls, Demiparadigm calls.
I was expecting to call getting 5 to 1 here. UTG's 3 bet caught me by surprise, but by then I was priced in for another call.

Flop: (9.66 SB) 3, 6, 2 (3 players)
Demiparadigm checks, UTG bets, MP1 calls, Demiparadigm folds.
I missed, I fold.

Turn: (5.83 BB) 8 (2 players)
UTG bets, MP1 calls.

River: (7.83 BB) A (2 players)
UTG bets, MP1 raises, UTG calls.

Final Pot: 11.83 BB

HAND 7:
Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Demiparadigm is Button with A, A.
2 folds, UTG+2 =#A500AF(ElipsesJeff)/ raises, 2 folds, MP3 3-bets, 1 fold, Demiparadigm caps, 2 folds, UTG+2 :#A500AF(ElipsesJeff)/ calls, MP3 calls.
MP3 in this hand was Bmxicle. I am not sure why the converter missed that... oh well.
Preflop is pretty standard.
Flop: (13.66 SB) 5, 5, 2 (3 players)
ElipsesJeff checks, MP3 bets, Demiparadigm raises, ElipsesJeff 3-bets, MP3 folds, Demiparadigm caps, ElipsesJeff calls.
I really contemplated a call here to keep jeff in the hand, but when playing against people I know I tend to play much more straightforwardly. His 3 bet told me he had a big pair, It would be hard to make it through the preflop action with anything that hit this board.
Turn: (11.33 BB) 5 (2 players)
ElipsesJeff bets, Demiparadigm raises, ElipsesJeff calls.

River: (15.33 BB) 3 (2 players)
ElipsesJeff checks, Demiparadigm bets, ElipsesJeff calls.

Final Pot: 17.33 BB
Big Pot!

HAND 8:
Party Poker 15/30 Hold'em (8 handed) converter

Preflop: Demiparadigm is BB with 7, T.
5 folds, Button =#A500AF(DoGGz)/ raises, 1 fold, Demiparadigm calls.
I normally fold this preflop.
Flop: (4.66 SB) 6, 9, 8 (2 players)
Demiparadigm checks, DoGGz bets, Demiparadigm calls.
And I flopped the nuts. I didn't checkraise the flop because I figured he had NO piece of this and was most likely on a steal with 2 big cards, and may fold to a raise, and would certainly fold if I led the turn. I figured I was better off checkraising the turn and getting one more bet in the pot.
Turn: (3.33 BB) 3 (2 players)
Demiparadigm checks, DoGGz checks.
And DoGGz doesn't play along.

River: (3.33 BB) 4 (2 players)
Demiparadigm bets, DoGGz raises, Demiparadigm 3-bets, DoGGz calls.
So I bet the river... His raise was a complete surpise. My 3 bet is obvious.
Final Pot: 9.33 BB

To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

1- Okay but, I think you're beat by a higher pair with no kicker.
2- Raise the turn...Completes the str8 draw and gives a flush draw
3- Standard
4- Meh, fine.
5- yep
6- Got a read on MP1??? I think this hand is a bit weak to call the raise and be out of position.
7- Perfect
8- Why not raise the flop? I'm not looking to check/call and then possibly give a free card with a 2spade board.
9- Why not raise PF?
10- See hand above...Why raise PF?
11- Yawn!
12- Yep...Nice steamroll on the stop-n-go. This reeks of a pair of 8's.
13- Nice fold equity :P
14- Meh...Maybe find a river fold dependant on opp.
15- Easy enough.
16- Why not call down when the A drops? I think you are beat here, but why try the turn bluff here when a call down will get you to a showdown for the same bets and this guy is obviously not gonna lay off?
17- Moves to next hand...
18- Meh
19- Why call? Loose Raiser?
20-
Superb play sir...I always call 20% of my stack off with a gutshot draw. Excuse me while I race for my wallet.

elipsesjeff is an unknown quantity at this point
 1- Fold Preflop
2- Fold Preflop, bet the flop, raise the turn, bet/call the river.
3- OK
4- OK (DoGGz = should be shot for cold calling)
5- This is the first hand I saw, nice flop play, should have check raised the turn.
6- Fold Preflop.
7- Punk
8- Bet the flop (he should autoraise), check raise the turn, lead the river.
9- Raise PF
10- Fold Preflop
11- OK
12- He's probably got AK over a pair of 8's considering he raised preflop.
13- Raise preflop.
14- OK, you cant fold here for one bet.
15- OK
16- Call the check raise on the flop, I give it to him considering he was a good player.
17- OK because we were on tight table.
18- Fold Preflop. Its a leak to do this too many times with unsuited connectors looking for miracle flops.
19- Raise preflop.
20- OK.

That table we were on was HORRIBLE.
