Pre-flop fold or ok?

[rayrns]

Online .25/.50 game on Poker Stars. Loose aggressive at times and loose passive at others.
Two hands (one real short)
I am BB with 7h-7c
Betting goes: UTG calls/call/call/call/call/raise/fold/SB re-raises and I folded. To passive? The re-raise from the SB made me think I was behind in this hand.
Results of this hand. 2h-5h-J-h(4c)(9h).
Raiser had Ah-Jh (winner),SB (re-raiser)had 4-4

Second Hand:
I am LEP with 2s-2h.
Preflop:UTG fold/EP calls/I call/call/fold/fold/LP calls/button calls/SB calls/BB checks. 7 to see the flop
Flop: 8c-5s-Ks flush/str8 draws possible
blinds check/I check/check/bets/call/fold/fold/call/I call (getting 10-1)/call.
Turn:2c
Betting goes:check/check/I check(hoping to cr/check/
bet/call/call/I raise and get 2 callers all others fold.
River:10h
I bet and everyone folds.
Comments on all streets appreciated.
On the night I saw 69% of the flops in BB and 24% in other positions.

I would have called with the 77 in the BB. You will be getting enough players in the hand to make it worth your while for your set-flopping.

I think your flop call with 22 was very dubious indeed, though... you are 22.5-1 to hit your set, and you are only getting 10-1 from the pot. This is a classic situation of missing your set and folding on the flop. You've gotta fold, man.

On the first hand, just take notes on the SB. Your fold is OK.

On the second hand, 10-1 isn't enough to take one off hoping to hit the set. You'd need massive implied odds to make up for the deficit, and I don't think you had them here.
