My first day playing 1/2 - advice? + 2 hands

[gorgeous]

Today was my first day 4-tabling $1/2 tables and first let me say that I didn't realize that they were so full. I'll have to get used to this waiting list business. Anyhow, I only played 180 hands +28BB. I noticed there were more weak-tight players than in the $0.50/1 tables and I had a lot more data-mined players at my tables. Can I expect this every time I play?

Also, should I be folding hands like KJo and QTs? In $0.50/1 I was playing these hands, as well as suited aces and small pocket pairs from almost all positions, and now I can't do that anymore (less limpers). If anyone could link me to some previous threads about moving up to 1/2 I'd really appreciate that. Thanks

Button is 69%/6%/3.00 (35 hands). In hindsight I think I should've just called his raise on the turn. Did I play this OK?
