all PP 5/10 NL

Hand 1:

villian sat maybe 20 hands ago. this is the third time that i have reraised his open raise in these 20 hands or so. Both times previously he folded preflop. I definitely have a LAGgy image at the table, preflop raising probably close to 25% of my hands. It felt like he was going to call the preflop reraise this time out of principle.

Effective Stacks $1000.

Villian opens for 30, hero in CO reraises KdKs to 125, folded to villian who calls.

flops 8c9xQc (pot ~260). Villian checks, hero bets 200, villian raises to 600. Hero??

My thought is that I am either dead here (88, 99, or j10 (less likely, but i've seen stranger hands in these situations)), or I am solid favorite to his tptk or kq type hands (the other possibility is the AcXc), so my instinct was to just call the flop reraise and let villian hang himself on the turn w/ the intention of calling an all-in on almost any turn card except maybe a turned ace (and w/ the intention of pushing if checked to on the turn).

Is this line better than just pushing the flop? Does anybody find a fold here (are we deep enough for folding to even be an option here)? Any thoughts/input is appreciated.

Hand 2:

I have a similar table image, but no reads on villian #1 (he just sat down maybe 10 hands ago, and I didn't recognize him):

Effective Stacks ~1200.

Hero is in cutoff w/ KhQh. UTG limps (standard for UTG, doesn't mean a monster), Hero raises to 40, BB (villian) calls 40, UTG calls.

Flop 2h7c7h. pot ~130. check, check, check.

Turn: Jh. villian bets 100, UTG raises to 200, Hero calls 200, villian calls 200.

river: 5c. Pot ~730. Villian checks, UTG checks, Hero bets 350, villian goes all in, UTG folds, decision is on Hero to call his last 600 on this now ~$1,500 pot. Hero???

Does anybody find a fold here? Are we up against a boat/nut flush often enough to make folding even an option? My instinct was that you had to call, albeit cryingly, but my buddy who was over at my place watching was convinced it was a fold. thoughts???

sorry no hand converter, at work, technology-impaired, blah blah blah
