2 bigg-ish pots with same villian. Comments please.
1st hand is in the 3rd orbit. No significant reads. It's an example of something that's important to me - i.e., the first action in a new game.
I contend that most players aren't paying very close attention.
They will, however, take care to notice your first actions when you sit down in a game. Then, they'll rely too much on that first info for later decisions.

So, the same way I don't like to give up the first blinds in a limit game, I don't like to get pushed out of the first bigger nl pot I play.

2nd hand is about 3 orbits later.
