Q (a pair of Aces) and LOST (-$62.50 NET)I'm pretty sure this was just a cooler and I ended up against pretty much the worst hand he could possibly have (short of something Kh-Jh), but yell at me if you disagree.
The action gets crazy in the next one, so I'll try to explain my thinking...

Pre-Flop: T
A dealt to Hero (CO)2 folds, Hero raises to $1.75, BTN calls $1.75, SB calls $1.50, BB calls $1.25
Flop: ($7) 7
4 T (4 Players)SB checks, BB bets $7, <-- BB leads for pot. This is usually a draw, since strong made hands will usually check-raise rather than lead into 3 other players. I figure I can raise here to try to isolate...I expect BB to call, and I should be able to evaluate future streets in position.
Hero raises to $17,
BTN calls $17, <-- This is almost always a flush draw or combo draw, since a set is making another raise and not wanting to peel more cards. Good news, since they be stealing each other's FD outs.
SB folds, BB raises to $33.30 and is All-In, <-- Ugh, not great, since 2-pair is also in his range, but I stick with my draw read and make the call.
Hero calls $16.30,
BTN raises to $48.25 and is All-In, <-- This doesn't change anything, just makes it more likely he has a big, possibly nut, flush draw, and I'm obviously priced in.
Hero calls $14.95 and is All-In

A (a pair of Tens) and LOST (-$50 NET)BB showed 8
9 (a straight, Ten high) and WON $103.90 (+$68.85 NET)Maybe my reads were overly optimistic but they turned out to be on the money. I won't usually get it in like this with TPTK with AT, but the situation was unique. I was a 43% favorite, with AJ at 35% and 89 at 21%. Interestingly, if the AdJd were instead AdQd, I would be 36% and the AQ 43%, so I was greatly benefited by my opponents' J outs cancelling out.
As it went, I lost the main pot to the rivered straight, but won a $30 side pot, and only ended down $20. Anyone hate my play or reads here?
