Default 200NL - Between a donk and a hard place

Villain is a total donk. He's about 48/8/2 over 40 hands, and we've already tangled several times. His relatively low aggression factor of 2 is misleading, given that he is prone to calling with absolutely any two cards; he has gone crazy spewtard aggro with middle pair before. Here are a couple of hands we have played for history:

------------------
HAND #1
------------------

Full Tilt Poker, $1/$2 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 4 Players

Hero (BTN): $210.90
SB: $139
BB: $276.60
UTG: $421

Pre-Flop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (BTN)
UTG folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $7</font>, SB calls $6, BB folds

Flop: ($16) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $12</font>, SB calls $12

Turn: ($40) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $26</font>, SB calls $26

River: ($92) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero checks

Results: $92 Pot ($2 Rake)
Hero showed 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (a pair of Queens) and LOST (-$45 NET)
SB showed A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (a flush, Queen high) and WON $90 (+$45 NET)




------------------
HAND #2
------------------

Full Tilt Poker, $1/$2 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 5 Players

Hero (BTN): $215.15
SB: $174
BB: $281.65
UTG: $139
CO: $418

Pre-Flop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] dealt to Hero (BTN)
2 folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $7</font>, SB calls $6, BB folds

Flop: ($16) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets $16</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $60</font>, SB calls $44

Turn: ($136) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets $107 and is All-In</font>, Hero calls $107

River: ($350) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players - 1 is All-In)

Results: $350 Pot ($3 Rake)
Hero showed 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (a full house, Nines full of Fours) and WON $347 (+$173 NET)
SB showed 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (two pair, Nines and Fours) and LOST (-$174 NET)

In the hand in question here, his turn raise puts me in a really weird spot. On one hand, I'm 95% certain he would have jammed the flop with any ace. On the other hand, a turn raise into two players is a pretty bold, aggressive move, which we all know is the key to no-limit holdem. In the end, given his previous retarded aggression, I figured that he was more likely to have Jx or a heart draw than an ace or a monster, and decided to put it in, but damn, this is an ugly board and an ugly spot. So... thoughts?
