10NL: Two hands against same villian

[JoseRijo]

I hadn't played against villain long, but he was 54/4 in 21 hands. These hands happened in the same round:

Pre-flop I was going for a set. The flop looked good, but I couldn't be sure I had the best hand with two opponents. The turn looked like a decent scare card to villain's weak lead.

With this hand, he kept giving me just enough odds to draw.

Am I just being owned here? Comments on all streets welcome, because these two hands pretty much sum up my experiences at 10NL so far.

Hand 1: I'd rather raise the flop than raise the turn. But if you are going to raise the turn, it needs to be bigger; your raise is only like 1/3 pot.

Hand 2: Fine.

[Milky]

Hand 1 definitely raise flop. I don't think the turn was a good time to be raising because if he was firing w/overcards he just got there (unless he has AQ). The flop was great for you, so you need to raise it up.

Hand 2 I'd raise flop since you 3bet pf. If called and he checks turn I'd check behind of course, or call a small bet.
