Starting Fresh

Adjusting to moving and all that other crap that has been going on has been hard. I finally got back on my horse and played my first session last night and this morning I finally started my duties as AC Rep for TwoRags. I have been browsing and posting on the 2p2 forums and getting back into the game a little bit lately. I didn't want to jump right into my normal limit cold so I started slow with just railing a little bit here and there. A few days ago I played a couple $1 tourneys and the 10c Rebuy on FTP. No luck, but I was feeling more comfortable with my reads and such.
Last night I finally decided to jump into my usual 25NL game. I searched for a little while and found the juciest table I have ever seen in my life. There were a few TAGish players, but they were playing so bad cause there were 2 60/8/3ish players at the table playing like complete donks and everyone at the table were adjusting. I just tightened up and played really solid and over limped in a lot more spots than I normally would. These two guys werent folding to a raise so I only raised premium hands and I limped with a lot of pairs/suited connectors that I would normally raise against Avg. 25NL players. Another thing I noticed which is a very important betting pattern I think people don't take note of enough is that when they lead the flop it meant total weakness. They slowplayed all their "big" hands so a flop bet was an obvious bluff. I was able to take down a buy-in in a short session although I was up close to 1.5 BI's at one point. This was a high variance table and you are going to get sucked out on here and there live with it. I was pretty happy with my game, although I think I made one huge mistake that was a direct result of my rustiness. I did not think though all my decisions. I made too many snap decisions that caused me to make some raises or calls I don't think I would have made if I thought them a bit.
Anyway here are some hands:

The first hand was the easiest call I ever made. The second I was so lost in the hand, and the play was a result of not thinking through my decisions enough although IDK if I could play it any differenty. Both of these hands were against the super donks.
As for my AC Rep work, I walked from Bally's to the Showboat today and got some info on some of the rooms. I have a lot more work to be done, but look out for some updates in the future.
