Hand 1:
I have been at this table for maybe 2 orbits. No reads on villain, no stats, no history.

SB ($56.55)
Hero ($53.50)
Preflop: Hero is BB with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif.

<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $47.55 (All-In)</font>, Hero ??
Thoughts:
PF, anyone like a squeeze here? Same rules apply to UTG as Villain in regards to no history. Sometimes I will do this if I think I can take it down there, but I don't like doing this OOP too often unless I can get them to fold pre or on the flop. I elected to call here, to see how it would play out post flop, and because of this history with these players.
This smells like KJ or a rivered flush to me. He should know that I have at least the J here with my (weak) turn raise, which would explain an overbet and him thinking I'll auto call this. If I was playing it like this, and put me on the J, I would be overbetting the river. Could he do this with a weak jack?
=====================================
Hand 2:
I have been at this table for 10 mins or so. Villain is 28/4 over 100 hands I have on him through PT.

UTG folds, MP (minraises) to $1, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls $1, SB completes, Hero calls $0.50.

Can anyone talk me into a call here? Only viable hands I can see doing this would be 22 or Kx. I'd hope he'd raise JJ or KK PF, but from my holdings I can't put him on KK.
