a project!! im not just posting hands...

OK judging by the massive response (SW) to yesterday's post called "NOT A PROJECT I'M JUST POSTING SOME HANDS", i can see how much you like reviewing hands if it isn't for any experiment, soooo I will turn this into the experiment format you have grown accustomed to...THE GOAL:to become a millionare in 8 years, and win the world series, and become famous, by improving my game.HOW?I wil post every hand I had a problem with, or had a question about throughout the session. Then by using the responses that people give me and by using what I learned as I was posting my hands, I will fix leaks in my game until I improve, and move up a level.The Rules: I am not here to teach, I am here to learn.you can read, post and comment, on whatever hand you want. I can not argue, I can only ask questions.Its only 11 hands for a 1k hand session,.........here we go..Hand# 1I have A5 of heartsNTES/BLINDSmsg617 posts blind ($0.50), scrapiron posts blind ($1).PRE-FLOPtakemycash9 calls $1, Gators7 calls $1, Smegaly folds, jaws79 bets $2, 6 folds,, takemycash9 calls $1, Gators7 calls $1.I shouldnt be calling w/ this UNG but i was to tempted.FLOP [board cards QD,8C,JH ]takemycash9 checks, Gators7 checks, jaws79 bets $1, takemycash9 calls $1, Gators7 folds.dunno why i calledTURN [board cards QD,8C,JH,5C ]takemycash9 bets $2, jaws79 bets $4, takemycash9 calls $2.dont know eitherRIVER [board cards QD,8C,JH,5C,AS ]takemycash9 bets $2, jaws79 folds.oh well, got lucky, ill take itSHOWDOWNtakemycash9 wins $18.75------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hand #2ANTES/BLINDSjaws79 posts blind ($0.50), janellb posts blind ($1).PRE-FLOP2 folds, takemycash9 bets $2, 2 folds, cursed_ronin bets $3, 4 folds, takemycash9 bets $2, cursed_ronin calls $1.FLOP [board cards KS,3D,4D ]takemycash9 checks, cursed_ronin bets $1, takemycash9 bets $2, cursed_ronin bets $2, takemycash9 calls $1.I check raise, he 3 bets.

I'll get right on that, and try to fix it..Oh ,, and I finished SSHE, Im starting it again tomorrow, that should help too..P.S. Where can I find the hand converter? how do I use it??
