Limit player tries out NL (AKo in the SB-lots of limpers)

[zephed56]

I had about $70 left in my PokerRoom account after cashing out, and this money sort of feels like screw around money (I won't get upset if I lose it, I know weird), so I decided I might as well give NL a shot. In a couple of days I've somehow managed to make it a couple hundred, go figure.

I really think I suck at NL. I feel very uncomfortable being raised, especially on the river. I hate folding on the river, I guess limit strategy is ingrained in my head. So one of my leaks is probably calling too much on the end when raised.

Here's a big (pot) hand, please scrutinize any poor plays.

1: MP2 ($51.50 in chips) <font color="blue">loose preflop, don't know much else.</font>
2: MP3 ($5.50 in chips) <font color="blue">58%vpip, not aggressive at all</font>
3: CO ($26.85 in chips)
4: Button ($24.15 in chips) <font color="blue">loose</font>
5: Hero ($14.70 in chips) <font color="blue">I know, no excuse... [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]</font>
7: BB ($40.70 in chips)
8: UTG ($7.35 in chips)
9: UTG+1 ($8.50 in chips)
10: MP1 ($23.20 in chips)

Apparently, I need to work on reads too.
