Here are 2 hands. Comments welcome on all streets as I am not doing very well at all since moving up from .01/.02.
Hand 1
A general question I have is should I be raising TT from EP in FR?
Is folding the flop too weak? I generally give up hands on an A high flop when the raiser bets the flop. Reason is because I figure there is a good chance he has an A, and by calling/limping with TT, it seems I pretty much either need TP or a set to continue. Is that good reasoning or am I just looking to hard for a reason to fold?

Hand 2 (happens to be against the same guy as hand 1)
How is preflop? Should I call or reraise from SB?
I checked flop to see what he would do, and figured I would bet turn, but when another overcard came out I got scared. Then his overbet of the river made me think he was trying to slowplay something, and was trying to make up for not getting any money in the pot in earlier streets by overbetting the pot. I did at the time find it strange that he checked both the flop and the turn, since that seemed a little unlike him.
Should I have at some point tried to take it down? At what point? And what do I do if I get resistance?
