Default $6.25 NLTRN- 2 KQ stacking hands

Just had a friend send me a little and I've been trying to focus on my heads up game. These two hands came up and while probably standard and uninteresting left me with weird decisions.

Hand 1: First hand so no reads. I definetly spewed way too much on river.

Button (t1500)
Hero (t1500)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t40</font>, Hero calls t20.

Flop: (t80) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets t40</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t140</font>, Button calls t100.

Turn: (t360) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t175</font>, Button calls t175.

River: (t710) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t400</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t1145</font>, Hero ?????

Hand 2: Villain hadn't done anything too odd to this point. Was passive PF for the most part and picked off 1 or 2 of my cbets. His river shove felt so weird to me.

Any insight appreciated.

I probably call hand 1 to be honest. Looks like some sort of silly slowplayed or "I put you on a bluff" overplayed hand.

Hand 2 I would probably fold the river as played.

You may want to consider 3-betting KQ preflop in order to avoid these tough river decisions.

I also call hand 1 mainly because it's the first hand. You're way more likely to be up against a crazy player here than some sort of slowplayed monster or a 4.

I'd fold hand 2. You could easily have a flush here (or a missed check-raise on the flop) and villian pushed anyway.

I would probably fold both.

1: You're only beating a bluff and it looks like QQ/99 to me. Re-raise PF.

2: Bet more on the turn. Looks like he nailed the river.
