Default Two heads-up hands with questions

Both of these hands are against the same opponent. This villain does not like to fold pre-flop or post-. Villain is not prone to bluffing but he donks a LOT if he flops any kind of hand and he will "value bet" pretty much anything if you check to him. Villain is pretty passive, though, and isn't likely to do much bluff-raising or to get aggressive with a weak top pair. I don't know if he is aware of my view of him and I am not sure what (if anything) he thinks of me. Let's assume he thinks I'm too aggressive and also probably thinks I am trying to push him around.

$2/$4 blinds

Hand 1:
Stacks are about $500 each. Villain just took a pot from me and had me covered by maybe $20.

Villain completes his small blind on the button, I raise to $16 (standard) from the big blind with XX. Villain calls.

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I bet $30, Villain calls.

Turn: 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I check, Villain bets $100, I push.

1) What hand(s) am I representing with my play?
2) What do you need to call me given the image I think he (you) has (have) of me?
3) What do you think Villain needs to call given my description of his play?



Hand 2:
Stacks: I have about $600 to Villain's $400.

Villain completes his small blind, I raise to $16 with XX, Villain calls.

Flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

I check, Villain bets $20 (this can be any pair or a flush draw; if it's a King or a ten, Villain is seeing a showdown), I call.

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I donk for $25...


1) Does it make sense for me to play anything this way, given my reads?
2) What do you do with a King or ten here?
