Default $109 PS and $55: Evaluate a few hands please.

On the first one, how was my call of his reraise? Also I'd like to verify the right move on the flop.

UTG (t1150)
UTG+1 (t1755)
MP1 (t1570)
MP2 (t1425)
Hero (t1665)
CO (t1600)
Button (t1400)
SB (t1295)
BB (t1640)

Preflop: Hero is in MP3 with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Hand 1 you have to fold against a solid player and usually even against a donk. I would fold pf.

Hand 2 I wouldve reraised pf but as played it looks ok except I hate the minreraise.

1st hand) His reraise puts him in the AQ/AK/AA/KK/QQ range. Of these, AK and AQ are most likely. Actually, I'd expect an AA or KK to not reraise so much preflop, as they'll want a call, but I wouldn't factor this too much into my play as it definitely doesn't always apply. After the flop, he bets less than half, often a sign of weakness, and occasionally a bet designed to suck you in. I'm pushing all in here. If he has the AA/KK/QQ, then so be it, but more often than not, he's sitting on AK/AQ and either pays you off or folds.

2nd hand) Not a bad way to play it with the slow play. Then only thing I'd mention is that if you reraise strongly as the big blind, he may remember that next time he wants to steal.
