Villain in hand 1 is unknown, villain in hand 2 ist running at 13/5/1.3/200 and has only shown strong hands at showdown.

Hand 2 looks standard, though I'd probably raise it a bit more PF. On hand 2 bet the turn out. As played you should bet the river out to gain value from worse hands.

Hand 1 is standard, i play it the same.
Hand 2 i would bet out the turn. As played, i would re-raise on the turn as I think you are good and should try to get the money in.

Given the stack sizes, reraise = all-in. I didn't like this against a nit and tried to get a cheap showdown. Of course, i would have called an all-in on the river - seen this way, pushing seems to be right /images/graemlins/smile.gif

edit: argh, i forgot to include villain's stats. corrected.

Hand 1 - I'd probably play this the same vs an unknown

Hand 2 - Not sure what hands he could be limp/calling a raise with. If he doesn't like to raise much preflop, TT/88 could certainly be in his range, although I don't think he'll just check behind on river if he had a set. AT is likely, maybe A8s. I'd either double barrel flop/turn or as played value bet river.
