Hand 1: Main Villain is kinda fishy, not real strong either pre or postflop. I have him at 25/7/1. This is the first time I have seen him.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (3 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

Button ($214.45)
SB ($261.25)
Hero ($580.35)

Preflop: Hero is BB with Q, Q.
Button raises to $7, SB calls $6, Hero raises to $38, Button folds, SB raises to $262.25, Hero ???

Hand 2:Villain is HHHthegame88 18/13/1.7. I look for him as he is a bad nit, who bluffs in bad spots. Over my last 100k+ hands 22,33,44, and 55 are all losing quite a bit due to a large amount of being over set. Everytime I see a raise now I think I am beat, but I never seem to be able to fold...

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (5 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

BB ($240.65)
UTG ($291.50)
MP ($186.15)
Button ($275.90)
Hero ($244.25)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 2, 2.
UTG raises to $8, 2 folds, Hero calls $7, BB calls $6.

Flop: ($24) 2, 3, 5 (3 players)
Hero bets $14, BB folds, UTG calls $14.

Turn: ($52) 9 (2 players)
Hero bets $35, UTG raises to $90, Hero ???

1) I probably call just because I don't think players like this think this is a way to get value from AA

2) push and forget about it

hand 1: i think you can fold QQ to an unknown here.
hand 2: you can never be wrong going broke on set vs set....well at least it wouldn't be a measurable mistake...

 Hand 1: If he was slowplaying AA to the first raise he's probably slowplaying it to the reraise. I agree with Sauce that this is a call.
It's more of a call if you have an aggro image or you've reraised in this spot recently.

elipsesjeff is an unknown quantity at this point
 I'd put my stack on the line as teh default play and would need a read to not do this otherwise.

 Actually, maybe you just play me soft (probably a good strategy, lol), but i usually don't see you three-bet light or play very aggro.
