NL10 - Folding Overpairs

[Mal_Pais]

I played a couple of hands earlier today that are still on my mind.

Weak tight or move on to the next hand?

Hand 1:
Villian is 22/6/1.6 over 89 hands. Haven't seen him do anything stupid.

Hand 2:
Villian is sorta TAG-ish preflop for this level. He's 19/10/.9 over 30 hands. Seems rather passive postflop. If I call this raise, I don't know what card I want to see on the turn.

First hand looks like the best laydown as villain check-raises with two players behind. At this level the villains bets are usually what the represent.

The second hand looks like you are ahead of JJ, flush draw, and nice semi-bluff/bluff but behind to a lot, and you have to play OOP the rest of the hand. Thinking about it makes me want to fold too, but then again I'm weak tight.
