Right then, some people were asking for this and it seems that the uptake is somewhat small, or people just don't know the best way to go about posting. Here is a quick guide to posting one and if you have any comments on the actual hand, then please do.
Ok this was from a limit holdem game $2/4 on party.
I was dealt Q♣Q♥ preflop and I am 3 off the button.
It gets folded round until the guy acting before me, now he raises to $4. He has been playing A LOT of hands and has shown plenty of preflop aggression. I want to get heads up with him so I reraise to $6. This was in hope to get heads up against him, he had paid me off nicely a few times already.
The next guy folds, then to my surprise the cutoff guy calls 3 bets cold. This one had me worried, he had been playing a lot of hands but was very passive and usually folded to any aggression, to call 3 bets colde I had to put him on something.
Button and small blind fold but then the big blind calls 2 bets cold and the original raiser calls. So we have 4 for the flop and a rather large pot already at this limit. While nice to have it meant it gave any drawing hands correct odds to try and hit their draw.
Flop comes 9♣8♣J♦
Not too bad, I am holding an over pair but there is both a club flush draw and a number of different straight draws. The blind and original raiser could have anything, the danger man behind me I had to suspect had high pair or two high cards (probably suited).
Big blind bets, raiser calls, now against these two I have to think I am best here so throw in a raise to see what danger man will do. Now he reraises me. Alarm bells are going off now, does he have AA or KK, can't see him trying a bluff raise, its not in his nature and there has been action before him already. He might even have trip Jacks or something. Blind calls 2 cold bets again, this also has me worried. Raiser folds and I simply call (pot is rather large to fold for $2 at this point)
Turn brings 5♠
Phew, means the flush hasn't hit, so safe from that at the moment, no 10 though giving me a pretty good straight (only would lose against KQ and can't put anyone on that). Blind and myself check, danger man puts out a bet the blind pulls out a check raise on us. I took some time here to try and work out what he had, I really considered a fold here. Though decided he probably had a jack. He had only been at the table for about 5 hands so didn't have anything to really have a read off.
In the end I called, hindsight maybe it was a mistake incase I got 3 bet by the danger man or even then capped by the blind after that. Danger man has been very passive though and his flop reraise made me believe he wanted the field thinned, so while having agood hand it was vulnerable. So he also just called like I hoped and we saw a river.
River card 9♠
Slight danger here but I couldn't think anyone had come this far with a 9, no flush possible and that didn't help out any straight draws. Blind bets and 2 calls takes us to show down.
Blind shows 7♦6♥ for a straight
Whilst I just have my queens for 2 pair
Danger man has Q♦Q♠ for the same hand as myself
Blind takes down the $78 pot and I am left puzzled by all the cold calling he made with 76 offsuit.
Now I probably would have been better off folding on the turn and saving myself 3 bets. So any comments from anyone would be nice.

To create the suit code like I just did type [.qc.] (without the dots) for queen of clubs, or for anything else just put [xy] where x is the card AQKJ23 etc and y is the suit SHDC
