We have done it. First table session of 500NL. It was a bit more excitement than I wanted for my first time at the stake, but the cards dictated that. I stuck to my game and things went all right.
My first ever 1K pot. I held on both boards. Nice.

TT can be a tricky hand in BTN vs. blind raising wars. I'm not 100% sure it's a good call or not. This one was a range of emotions. First I was glad I got it in good. Then I saw the flop and though whelp, this was short lived. Then when I saw the river I thought I won til I saw the straight. Then I thought I lost the whole pot. Then the second board started to deal out and I realized I was still alive. Then all that for a push.

Then this hand was sort of weirdly played by V, but I also may have botched every street postflop.
