Checkup: two QQ hands

[Trivial]

Would appreciate some comments on the following, largely to see how clear-cut the decisions are in these hands. I will omit my actions for now.

Hand 1: I have played less than one orbit at this table. Villain is a complete unknown (almost certainly not a reg). Note we are ~135BBs deep.

Hero ($834)
UTG ($357)
MP ($805.75)
CO ($971.05)
Button ($611)
SB ($135.90)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

Flop: ($135) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $72</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises to $186</font>

Thoughts on folding, re-raising, or calling here? If we just call are we happy to stack off later or are we folding to further heat?

================================================== ==========

Hand 2: Villain is zio_slim, he's a fairly nitty 18/13, haven't played with him in several weeks but from what I remember he doesn't particularly get out of line. I'm running around 24/20 and abusing my button as usual.

Fine so far? Do we ever call this river?

1) you have to call the flop raise as you led weak. i think reraising vs an unknown is spewy, but folding is bad. you are ahead here a lot, but not when all his chips go in. re-evaluate the turn.

2) fine so far, fold the river vs opponent described

[8outpoker]

hand one i am for sure calling the flop to re-evaluate the turn. hand two you are never ahead enough to justify a call so i say auto-muck

[RiverHebrew2]

Hand 1- i shove- often this is to fold out AK and AQ (your most likely holdings)... it looks like more of a steal raise

Hand 2- 4bet preflop to $225 and call shove. As played fold river... rest of hand wuz played ok

1) i just call the raise and probably get it in on a safe turn

2) easy fold vs this guy.

[Trivial]

Hand one I call the flop and he shoves a Th turn.

Hand two I agree its a fold against this specific villain, but I think my range becomes quite narrow based on the flop call and turn check and so I always wind up second-guessing myself in those spots, since I don't think theres any hand I can call with on this river that I would play this way?!
