Step, Cash and Tournies

I was sticking to my cash and tourney strategy. I started by playing 2 cash tables, a mini-step 2 and a multi on Stars (not part of the challenge). When I finished the step I went to three cash tables. Here's how it all went.

Step

Came second which gives me a ticket to level 3 worth $55. Hopefully I won't forget about this one and wait ages before I get around to playing it.

Cash

PartyPoker, 25c-50c. 2.5 hours, 2-3 tables.

Keys hands...

- I get AQo in MP. UTG limps, MP makes it $2, I call and so does the SB and UTG. The flop is Ad-ks-2s. SB checks, UTG bets $1, MP calls, and I just call, not wanting to build a big pot yet. SB folds. The turn is 6d. UTG again bets $1, MP calls and I raise to $5. Just UTG calls. Thr river is 7h. UTG bets $2 and I just call, pretty unsure where I am in the hand. He shows KQ = +$15.20

- I limp in Ep with AdQs. Folded to the BB who makes it $2. I call. The flop is A-4d-3d. He bets $1 and I call. The turn is a nice card for me, Qd. He bets $2 and I call (yes I should probably raise). The river is a 4 and he bets $3. I raise to $10 and he calls with A9 = +$14.00

- I get AhKh on the button. There are a couple of limpers and I make it $2. Just one limper calls. The flop is K-Jh-8. He bets $1 and I raise to $3.75. He calls. The turn is 3h. He checks and I bet $6.50. He calls. The river is a 2. He checks and I check behind, not 100% sure I'm ahead. He shows AJo = +$12.25

- Get AhKh again in MP. I make it $2 and the 2 players on my left both call. The flop is Qh-J-9h, giving me a big draw. I'm not sure how to play it, so I check. Caller 1 bets $5 and Caller 2 folds. I raise to $17.50 and Caller 1 goes all-in for $46.45. I am getting odds to call, with atleast 11 outs, and I call. He shows K10 but the river is the 10h = +$46.00
