Hi there folks,

First of all, i'm really glad that i've found this forum, i've already learned a lot here, especially from the HH analysis topics. And here comes my own, hehe. After a 1 month suffering on the prima network, i tried party and this decision has proved the be a good one, i'm quite successful in 25NL (hey, i have to build a bankroll, hehe); but there's a bunch of critical hands where i'm not sure if i played it wrong or not.

First one:

Villain has 60 VPIP and 10% PF raise after 40 hands.

Table Table 54902 (6 max) (No DP) (Real Money)
Seat 6 is the button
Total number of players : 6
Seat 1: jack10wins ( $10.87 )
Seat 2: beaker999 ( $27.86 )
Seat 3: Ponker ( $22.35 )
Seat 4: ckcowboys ( $23.90 )
Seat 6: Hollias ( $24.65 )
Seat 5: HairCanada55 ( $25 )
jack10wins posts small blind [$0.10].
beaker999: got you on 3
beaker999 posts big blind [$0.25].
HairCanada55 posts big blind [$0.25].
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to Hollias [ 9c Jc ]
Ponker raises [$1].
ckcowboys calls [$1].
HairCanada55 folds.
Hollias calls [$1].
jack10wins folds.
beaker999 folds.
** Dealing Flop ** [ 9h, Tc, 2d ]
Ponker checks.
ckcowboys checks.
Hollias checks.
** Dealing Turn ** [ Jd ]
Ponker bets [$1].
ckcowboys calls [$1].
Hollias raises [$4].
Ponker raises [$14].
ckcowboys folds.
Hollias is all-In.
Ponker is all-In.
** Dealing River ** [ 2s ]
Ponker shows [ Ks, Qh ] a straight, nine to king.
Hollias shows [ 9c, Jc ] two pairs, jacks and nines.
Hollias wins $2.30 from side pot #1 with two pairs, jacks and nines.
Ponker wins $45.30 from the main pot with a straight, nine to king.

Yes, there's a possible str on the board, but unfortunately i put him on AJ after the PF raise. Well, maybe i shouldnt have do so.

Here's another one:

Villain was a solid player, but he bluffed a few pots before this one.

Table Table 37013 (6 max) (Real Money)
Seat 3 is the button
Total number of players : 6
Seat 5: Hollias ( $25.04 )
Seat 2: partees ( $52.05 )
Seat 3: dgeeez ( $57.65 )
Seat 6: kdog2424 ( $9.80 )
Seat 1: RNWuptown ( $17.75 )
Seat 4: schill_aj ( $49 )
schill_aj posts small blind [$0.10].
Hollias posts big blind [$0.25].
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to Hollias [ Kh 6h ]
kdog2424 folds.
RNWuptown calls [$0.25].
partees calls [$0.25].
dgeeez folds.
schill_aj calls [$0.15].
Hollias checks.
** Dealing Flop ** [ 2d, 6d, 4c ]
schill_aj checks.
Hollias checks.
RNWuptown checks.
partees bets [$1].
schill_aj folds.
Hollias raises [$2].
RNWuptown folds.
partees calls [$1].
** Dealing Turn ** [ 7h ]
Hollias bets [$3].
partees raises [$6].
Hollias calls [$3].
** Dealing River ** [ 6s ]
Hollias is all-In.
partees calls [$16.79].
Hollias shows [ Kh, 6h ] three of a kind, sixes.
partees shows [ 8d, 5h ] a straight, four to eight.
partees wins $48.58 from the main pot with a straight, four to eight.

I was pretty sure that he wanted to steal the pot, but he had a nice draw, the kind that's almost impossible to detect imho, but i was careless when he reraised me on the turn. I couldn't imagine that i was beat on the river. Well, looks like i was wrong, hehe.

Miffed22001 is on a distinguished road
 The first hand looks a bit fishy.
He raises but then doesnt attack the pot post flop. If he has a pair or even an overpair or set i would think he has to bet at that pot. Even a continuation bet. It would be dangerous to check it, unless of course he wants or needs to see another card. Its active with a potential draw.
If he checks that im betting into him hard. If he comes back hard then thats a problem. i just cant see him checking that flop, it seems weak or that he needs to see another card.
Obviously the turn makes you toast with 4 outs to a better hand, not that i wouldnt call either with two pair or think i was probably ahead.

set vs straight hand.
Yeah, thats tough to detect. one of those hands i think when the river arrives you are going to pay off the straight. I think you just have to say that you ran into a better hand and hope it doesnt happen too often. Ill pay that off most times i think.
