Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $10.80
UTG+1: $9.20
Hero: $10.15 (Have been playing tight, with a little bit of aggression)
MP2: $5.65 (Seems to lean a little towards tight/weak)
CO: $3.75 (Seems to play fairly tight)
Button: $8.50
SB: $6.05
BB: $8.25

Pre-flop: (8 players) Hero is MP1 with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
2 folds, Hero calls $0.1 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was $0.15)</font>, MP2 calls $0.1 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was $0.25)</font>, 2 folds, SB calls $0.05 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was $0.35)</font>, BB checks.

Flop: 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($0.4, 4 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB bets $0.3</font>, BB folds, Hero calls $0.3 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was $0.7)</font>, MP2 calls $0.3 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was $1)</font>.

Turn: 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($1.3, 3 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $0.75</font>, MP2 folds, SB calls $0.75 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was $2.05)</font>.

River: K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($2.8, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero ???

The thought for just calling the flop bet was to encourage a call from MP2 (since he was still getting wrong odds at a flush hunt). Bet about as much as I thought the small blind could call on the turn. For the river, should I bet? I'm almost positive that I'm in the lead, but I don't think that any bet is called unless I'm beaten. Do you think he can call a value bet? What amount?

Stack sizes:
UTG: $4 (Has been playing aggressively, recently lost a big pot, then sucked-out to double to current stack size. Tilt?)
UTG+1: $3.60
Hero: $13.15 (Have been playing tight, with some aggression. Recent hands shown down were strong hands)
MP2: $5.70
MP3: $1.75
CO: $20.70
Button: $9.10
SB: $3.90
BB: $9.80 (Recently joined table, no reads)

Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is MP1 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG calls $0.1 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was $0.15)</font>, UTG+1 calls $0.1 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was $0.25)</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $0.5</font>, 5 folds, BB calls $0.4 <font color="aaaaaa">(pot was $0.85)</font>, <font color="#cc0000">UTG raises all-in $4</font>, UTG+1 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises all-in $13.15</font>,

The limp/AI from CO and BB just calling my raise makes me think that I'm safe from AA or KK. Is the push too much aggression? If I shouldn't push, what's the correct play? If BB calls, do I still have a shot or am I screwed?

Thanks for your comments.
