First time playing at Party since I started playing 2 years ago. I haven't played ANY poker in a while and I'm afraid I'm very rusty. Will post several hands from this session. I'm playing $25 since I haven't been able to get enough mony into Neteller and I'm not comfortable on this skin yet.

Re-raiser is a LAG, vpip of 40 and pfr of 10% or so. I usually don't fold *anything* to a mini re-raise and I would have called with any SC or 97o but AQ...? I think "Mjeh" was the word that went through my head.

Hand 1 I don't think you played very "meekly", but I like it... Fired out a CB, he called which blows... He checks again, I'd check behind, you hit your TP and he checks AGAIN, no way he's got a 7 and you valuebet him... Maybe he has A9 and will call, or thinks your bluffing with nothing... Either way I like it...

Hand 2... I would prolly call the mini, even though I'd hate myself in the morning... Either way, I'd take it VERY carefully from the flop on... I don't think foldings the worst thing in the world though...
