Just got to Vegas last night, staying at the Palms. I played a little bit of 2/5 NL here last night, made about $400. Back in FL, there are no NL cash games, so my only real live experience is from the NL tournys I play back home and my visit to Vegas last summer.

Sat down today at same stakes as last night. I'm sat down to the right of one Joe Awada, the first time I've sat at a table where I recognized a player from TV. Bought in for $250.

Second hand I was UTG+1 and picked up an unraised preflop pot with an uncontested postflop bet. Hand immediately after that (no strong reads):

Hero = UTG, $270
Joe Awada = UTG +1, ~$600
Villain = BB, ~$350

Hero picks up QQ, raises to $20.
JA calls $20, table folds to Villain who calls $15.

Flop (pot = $62):
J Q 7 rainbow

BB checks, hero bets $45, JA calls, BB calls

Turn (pot = $192):
9 (still no flush draw)

BB bets $200, hero?
