Just got back from my first session of 25 NL and it wasnt too successful Down $58 which I know is only 2BI so not massive but still sucks after being used to playing 10NL added to the fact I was slightly under rolled for it. Especially since I lost a huge hand in my last orbit. Anyway here are a couple of hands.

BTN: $13.82
SB: $17.32
BB: $49.03
UTG: $21.52
Hero (UTG+1): $25.00
MP1: $31.88
MP2: $39.75
CO: $34.60
Pre Flop: ($0.35) Hero is UTG+1 with A <font color='black'>♠</font> A <font color='black'>♣</font>
UTG calls $0.25, Hero raises to $0.75, 1 fold, MP2 calls $0.75, 4 folds, UTG calls $0.50
Flop: ($2.60) 7 <font color='black'>♠</font> 3 <font color='black'>♠</font> 5 <font color='red'>♥</font> (3 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $1.75, MP2 calls $1.75, UTG folds
Turn: ($6.10) A <font color='red'>♥</font> (2 players)
Hero bets $2.50, MP2 calls $2.50
River: ($11.10) 4 <font color='black'>♠</font> (2 players)
Hero bets $5, MP2 raises to $34.75 all in, Hero??????????
So this hand I think pre and flop are fine right? Turn I wasnt really sure what kind of size to bet, probably bigger than what I did but I didnt want to scare off hands like 88-JJ (QQ-AA probably 3bet pre). Then river is pretty much the worst card in the deck but I still have to bet here right to get value from sets lower than mine and maybe 2 pair every so often. When he shoves he surely has close to the nuts here right, the only hand I beat is a bluff?

River: ($20.87) Q <font color='red'>♥</font> (2 players)
Hero bets $27.34 all in, CO calls $15.08 all in
Second hand, how horrible is my call preflop first of all? I just wasnt sure what to do... On the flop when he checks back im thinking he has KK a huge amount of the time as he wasnt the most aggressive opponent and AA is really unlikely seeing as I have an ace and one on the table. So I pretty much went with this read and checked turn as well, thinking if I bet turn he'd call with kings but I wouldn't get any more value on river. If I check he might bet kings then I can call and shove river for 2 streets of value. What do you think about this? Anyway it turns out he had the AA after all. Interested to know how you guys would have played it.
