A few hands..

I took my first stab at 1/2 tonight. Was only a few hours play, but damn did it seem like a rock garden. 3-4 to a flop average, folding around to the blinds not too uncommon and winning the blinds with a preflop riase happened a few times too(unheard of in 0.5/1).

Any here are a few hands i played. Dunno if i should stick to 1/2 or not at this rate(but i'll keep at it because it was just one night). Apologies for putting 3 hands in at once, but i didn't want to clutter up the front page.

Hmnnn is there a KK or AA out there? Lets see what happens on the flop.

Flop: (25 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (6 players)

Now i'm ready to call down because i'm thinking KK or AA. Or should i fold now that i'm thinking that?(weeeak) Actually i remember looking at the pot size and thinking that nothing could make me fold.
