Both hands are from a 20+2 HU tournament on stars. In both the pot became large and I think, I've choosen a bad line, so I hope to get some hints here.

1) Villain is marginal looser following Sharkscope. We both have raised a lot of hands pf on the button and defended the BB very tight. Also, not a lot of hands went to Showdown so far, most likely the 1st or 2nd bullet won the pot.

2) Villain is a fish following sharkscope. He played so far passiv and seemed to have the attidude to call down most 1pairs (independent from Bottom to Top and most also the kicker) and to play strong hands and perhaps draws also aggressive.

I didn't raised pf because I had raised last 3 hands pf and didn't want to provocate something like a coinflip situation as I thought I'm the better player.

In 1) I guess, I should have reraised the flop hoping he has something like a pair+FD that he will not fold,
In 2) I guess, flop+turn are fine so far, however, the river is hard as all draws have arrived, so perhaps check and see what he bets. In this hand I tried to block.
