Small NL home game. Most of the players are experienced online limit players but only one or two has played NL more then a handful of times. Anyway two hands for comments.
1)
Early in the session. 6-handed, 1 & 1 blinds and all stacks are about 50. I'm in the BB with Kd Td. UTG folds. UTG+1 limps (fairly tight player), CO raises to 5 (very aggressive player), button folds, SB folds, I call and UTG +1 calls.
Flop: Ad Jd 6c
This is a nice flop for me. 12 nut outs twice. I decided to bet 15, about the size of the pot. UTG+1 calls my 15 and pushes all in for another 30. UTG+2 folds and it's up to me. I have a big draw but I can't see him bluffing. I call. He flips over As 6s I get no help and lose.

2)
Later in the session, 7-handed I'm the biggest stack with about 130-140. I'm in the CO with K6o. UTG folds, UTG+1 limps, UTG+2 limps, I limp in CO. Button raises to 5. SB folds, the rest calls to me. Button is probably the second biggest stack at the table with about 90 in front of him. I call his raise, figuring to flop two-pair or better or dump. 5 players in the hand 26 in pot.
Flop: Kd 6c 3d
Monster flop in my mind. Two-tone is a bit scary but overall I like the flop. It's checked to me and I check as well figuring to checkraise everyone. Button bets 20 into the 26 pot which leaves him with 60 or so in his stack. Everyone folds to me. I raise enough to set him all-in, I fully expect him to give the pot to me at that point. However, I'm lucky and he calls with KQo. No help for him and I break him.
