20/40 -- picking on bigger fish for a few orbits

[uw_madtown]

Sat at 20/40 tonight as baronzeus said there was an awesome table where the only solid player was NL Soldier. I thieved his blinds once or twice but otherwise we didn't get involved in a hand. Not sure if baronzeus passed on my identity to him or not, or whether he'd know who I am anyway.

Upon further review, I found that the table was as good as advertised, so I sat. Comments on the three major hands I was involved in are appreciated.

No stats because I didn't have any. Players were fairly LAG, overplaying middle/bottom pair (or nothing at all) by 3-betting the turn for example. I'm not used to such aggression. My "usual" game is the Party 3/6 6max.
