hand from first session at nl50

[bi11 frist]

first shot at nl50. picked up some hands, was raising a lot. in an earlier hand villian layed down nut flush draw in a reraised pot vs. me. no great reads on villian, but i know he can lay down hands if he thinks hes beat.

UTG folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $1.75</font>, CO folds, BTN calls $1.75, <font color="red">SB raises to $7.50</font>, BB folds, Hero calls $5.75, BTN folds

standard raise for me pf. prolly didnt have direct odds to call his raise, but his hands pretty transparent and i have position.

<font color="red">SB bets $12</font>, Hero calls $12

another bad call maybe. but my implied odds are great.

SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $23</font>, <font color="red">SB raises all-in to $49</font>, Hero calls $26

he checks, i figure him for an underpair to kings, and my hand looks a lot like AK. he goes all in, and at that point i figure pots too big to fold for 26 more.
