A couple live hands from Bellagio

[tl65\]

First, I'm primarily a Limit player, decided to give NL a shot while in vegas. Both hands are from the 2/5 game at Bellagio.

First hand:

I was in my first or second orbit and dont really know how the button plays yet. All I know at this point is that he's probably about 24 and looks like he's scandinavian for what that's worth.... We both have a little over the $500 buyin.

I raise to 20 from EP with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], button calls, BB calls.

Flop AT8 (two clubs)

I bet 40, button raises to 140, I call (Is this a mistake)

Turn, T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], (putting a second flush draw on board)

I check, he bets 200, since i dont know how to play NL, I push in for about 140 more...


Second hand:

A little later into the session:

BB has about 1900 chips and I really havent seen anything unusual from him
MP has almost 400 and constantly overbets the pot, kinda passive overall though and doesnt like to call big bets
I'm in SB with about 3500 (I think i'm going to play NL more often)

Someone in EP raised to 20, everyone calls, I see the flop with 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

8 to the flop for 20

Flop: T2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I check, BB bets 75, MP calls, I call.

Turn: Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I bet 400, BB thought about it for about 5 minutes then called, MP calls all in for about 250,

River blank

I bet 400 again into the huge pot....


What do you guys think?
