Be Careful what you wish for and River Decision

As we all know, this game can be funny, you can be on you way to a solid session and BOOM!!! gone... Two river beats for stacks and two bad decisions and I found myself a little over one buyin down after being up 1 1/2 buyins.

This first hand goes into the "Be Careful what you wish for category".



The villain in this hand is a somewhat solid; but only break even player after 10K hands.
He is a 22/7/2..

Here is the wishing part. I say to myself... I hope he has pocket Queens as I had just lost set over set not too long ago. I'll just call this turn and get it in on the turn.

The next hand involves a river decision. You know the type. What would he call me with type.

Villain is a bad 62/7/0.0 player over just 30 hands.

Hero bets $3, UTG+2 raises to $6, Hero ??

Ok.. now, I get min raised by a bad player who could obviously have anything. He obviously could have an ace; but more importantly he could have a flush. Given this kind of player, it's hard to tell. The pot isn't that big so is it worth re-raising? If he does have an ace, he is probably calling. If he has a flush, he is probably re-raising and we are playing for stacks now.

What do you do?

Have a nice day!!!
