Hi, I took a little break to play some SnGs, but realized that my win rate in $25-$50 NL is far greater than $11-$22 SnGs. Here are two hands from yesterday.
Both are at a NL $25 Party Table and both are my first hand at the table.
I am dealt

in the BB and there are 2 limpers plus the SB.
Flop
I lead out for $2 and I'm called by a MP Player who started off with a stack of $26-$28. He has me barely covered. The pot is about $6.
The turn is a

and I bet $5. He calls leaving himself with $18 left.
The river is a

, with the flush draw missing. I try a blocking bet of $5 and he re-raises me all in for $13 more. I folded. It seemed like he was waiting to raise me the entire hand. I had no read. He could easily have had 55 or A10. After observing him, I think I made the right decision. He didn't seem to be playing too loose.
Hand 2.
