Default Couple Weirdish Hands from a Foxwoods Session

Game is Foxwoods 1/2NL, live, $100 max buy in. I've been so card dead I want to throwup on the table. I've managed to win a few pots with one suckout and a couple good reads.

The villain is the same in both hands. He's a foreign guy, mid twenties, seems to have some idea what he's doing. He's been sitting for about an hour and is up to about 250 after flopping a set and getting paid off. A lot of players get out of line at this game, he's not one of them. I haven't seen him ge tto showdown without the goods, but again, small sample size. Despite all this, I don't get the impression that he's all that good.

FIRST HAND

Hero has $135, villain covers.

Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and opens the pot to 12.

Folds to the SB, this annoying loose-passive asian woman who calls. Villain looks at my stack and goes "how much you have left"? I look down and say "around 110" and he goes "okay, 110 more." I show AQ to the left side of the table and fold. Standard?

NEXT HAND

This is a loose-passivey table, so while I know some will say to fold preflop, a combination of being frustrated with my crappy cards and the knowledge that I'd likely get in cheap to a multiway pot governed my preflop play.

Hero has 120, villain (same villain) covers. Hero holds A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Two limpers to hero in MP, who calls. Two more callers, villain limps in on button, SB completse, BB checks.

Flop ($16): A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Four checks to hero, hero checks, check, check, check.

I'm not opposed to advice to bet the flop, but if you're going to give such advice, please explain your thinking, and account for the weakness of my kicker versus the field in a loose-passive table.

Turn ($16): 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Checks to hero who bets $15. Folds to annoying asian woman who calls, then Villain who shrugs then calls.

River ($61): 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Okay. What now? Thing is, in the back of my mind I was thinking turned flush draw for at least one of them. Still, one pair hands and smaller two pairs seems perfectly reasonable. I didnt know what to do, so I bet $25. Asian woman folds. Villain raises to $60.

Thoughts on all streets appreciated.
