This first hand is an AK hand that got completely out of control on the flop. I was fairly sure somone had two pair or maybe a straight, but I couldn't get away from it with the huge pot odds on a queen or an ace dropping. Is there anything I could have done to make this run a little more smoothly? Perhaps I shouldn't have reraised on the flop?

Outcome: MP3 wins 25.50 BB.

The second hand is one where I felt sure I was beaten, but didn't want to let go. Should the limp-raise have tipped me off that I was facing a QQ? I probably should have just gotten the heck out of there.

I think I played this third one right, but it was an annoying defeat. Is there anything I could have done differently?

My general rule for hand one, if there's ever 3 broadways on board 1 pair will not win you the pot.

Good rule, if the pot wasn't so bloated it would be an easy laydown.
