Intro and 2 Hands ($.5/1)

[Lady Dont Tekno]

EDIT: ahhh I don't know what's up w/ the colors guys sorry!

Hi,
I've been playing for about 2 years now and for most of those I've just been a shameless SNG pushbotter and I do pretty well at the $55s. However I'm going to be 21 soon so I figured I should learn a casino-friendly game like limit. I only have about 20k .5/1 and 1/2 hands where I ran around 4bb/100. So I'll be posting alot more now as I try to run through the first few limits pretty quickly. I hope we have some good discussions. Ok now a few hands.
