Default 10NL Playing for stacks with weak hands vs. shove-happy villain

Villain is 64/23/2.8, and has a habit of making open-shoves pf and big over-bets on the turn/river after only moderate action on the flop. I've also seen him bluff like crazy. I've been suspecting him of floating my cbets and trying to steal. In terms of his over-bets, my hunch is it's him trying to buy his way out of trouble if he's behind; or, since he bluffs so much himself, he wants to make sure no one is "putting a play" on him.

First hand:

Absolute Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.05/$0.10
5 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG calls, CO calls, Button folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $0.65</font>, 2 folds, CO calls.

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($1.5, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $1</font>, CO calls.

Turn: 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($3.5, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $2</font>, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises all-in $16.47</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero calls all-in $6.75</font>.
Uncalled bets: $7.72 returned to CO.

Results:
Final pot: $21

I almost timed out thinking about calling his shove on the turn, but in the end I decided that this guy was just to terrible to not look him up here. I also strongly doubt that he would try to knock me off my hand this way if he hit the flush/had a set/had AK.

Second hand:

Absolute Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.05/$0.10
4 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is BB with 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
2 folds, SB calls, Hero checks.

Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($0.2, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB bets $0.3</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $1</font>, SB calls.

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($2.2, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB bets $2</font>, Hero calls.

River: Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($6.2, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB is all-in $7.42</font>, Hero calls.

Results:
Final pot: $21.04

Got a free flop and caught TPWK. The river over-bet looked like a busted draw to me. He could have caught a Q, but since he would also bluff with air I call. (And although it would be smart of him to shove a Q for value given our history, I'm not sure he's really that smart.)

You can expect some interesting feedback here but the feedback might be more useful if you post it in the NL forum
