Default An interesting heads up hand in the $55\'s

I have limped in Villains blind twice in a row and both times he has pushed and I have folded.

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (2 handed) converter

BB (t4230)
Hero (t5770)

Preflop: Hero is Button with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
Hero calls t200, BB checks.

Flop: (t800) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">BB bets t400</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1000</font>, <font color="#CC3333">BB raises to t3830 (All-In)</font>, Hero calls t2830.

Turn: (t8460) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

River: (t8460) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: t8460

He thought for quit a long time before pushing, and I decided I could not put him on the A or he would have pushed pre flop given his prior history, the only hands I was worreid about where 5j-K or 53, and getting 2-1 I decided to make the call, what are your thoughts?

Also here is a random hand that im not sure on but I have a feeling its standard one way or the other.

UTG (t2545)
MP (t3880)

<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t355 (All-In)</font>, MP folds.

Final Pot: t855

It worked, but looking at it now im not sure if this is correct. Maybe I should just shove pre flop in this hand? but that too seems wrong since its obvious I have more fold equity checking and pushing the flop, what are your thoughts?
