2) Seems impossible not to lose a stack here. Although I might raise a bit more preflop; hard to imagine that hand calling a bigger raise pf. Very strange flat call by your opponent on the flop...
I really wouldn't have known what to put him on...
Tough luck, but if this is only your first losing day I don't feel sorry for you the least bit

But worse than that, I was giving action more than I was getting. I felt like I was winning small and losing big (see hands below). The good part was that I was able to steal LOTS of small pots due to the passive tables, but I lost quite a few big ones. Some were just your regular instances of getting rivered when I was ahead or not hitting my draws when I had the odds to draw. But others were like these hands below.
I realize that I am more-or-less weak-tight (esp. for party), so I am trying to push my second best hands to the suspect raises one often gets at Party (and these are good hands). Am I getting carried away with my play of these hands, or do I just need to take my bruises and move on?

For what it's worth, RJones is about 20 PTOBBs/100 after 1500 hands in my DB.
I hate me position here, but who can complain when you flop a boat? Is there anywhere I should slow down and not bet or just call? If I do, what do I do when Villain raises me (as he inevitably will)? Fold? Should I respect this player's calls and raises because he is a winning player?
I'm thinking that the flop call should have been my cue, but then do I fold to a pot bet on the river?
Anyway, all comments are welcome.

FWIW, Sakiboy had about 10 PTOBB/100 in my db after 500 hands.
A few minutes after Hand 1, I figured I was due. I was very excited to flop these trips, and more excited when the boat filled. The reraise on the turn seemed suspect, and I started thinking he had quads. My thinking was that only KK would have called my flop bet. Given that this is party, though, I questioned whether I should assume logic was used by my opponent.
Anyway, I am again confronted to with the dilemma of whether I fold second-best hand, especially to a reraise. Thoughts? Comments?
Luckily the bonus I cleared but me in the black a bit, so I'm not too bitter.
