Default NL Adventure - 2 hands

I'm sure I suck at NL, I've played maybe 50 hands or something of it. This is actually my 2nd post in this forum because I was once going to learn NL....but I didn't.

Anyway, I'm at a casino waiting for a limit game to open, and it's just taking forever. So , finally say, just put me on a NL table until a limit table opens. So, everyone is sitting down at this table because it's brand new. I know no one, and I already feel like I'm an underdog.

It's NL 1/2 and I buy in for $100, and it seems everyone else has done the same.

First hand I'm UTG+1, UTG folds, I fold, +2 makes it $10 to go, everyone folds.

Second hand I'm UTG with AA. I just watched everyone fold for $10, so....I don't know what to do, I suck. I make it $5. Four people call. The sb throws in $15. BB folds. I say "Let's make it $50". Everyone folds to the sb who says "I can't call you" and mucks. I turn over my aces cuz I don't care, I should be leaving in an orbit or so. Everyone gasps and says how horrible my reraise was. I simply say, I have no idea what I'm doing. They said make it a small reraise or just call and then hit the flop hard. For me, I just looked at the pot and said, "Well, that's enough for me, I'll just take it all now if I can". What do you think.

3 hands later I'm in the co with KJs. 4 callers to me, and I call (limit I raise this without thinking, I have no idea how standard it is in NL), both blinds call.

The flop comes 962 with 2 of my suits, blinds check and EP makes it $20, folded to me. I look left and BB has 4 red chips in his hand. I call, sb folds, bb tosses his chips in.

The turn is the Q of no pertent suit.

BB checks, EP makes it $25. I call, bb folds.

Turn is the 9 of spades, and pairing the board.

EP makes it $25 again. I just call.

Thoughts?
