Default NL $2 - Two Hands That Made Me Scratch My Head

I just played two hands that I was unsure about. Any help is appreciated.

Hand #1:
Just sat down. No reads on Villian.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (6 max) converter

Hero ($2)
SB ($0.96)
BB ($1.54)
UTG ($2)
MP ($5.49)
CO ($1.30)

Preflop: Hero is Button with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls $0.02, CO calls $0.02, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.1</font>, SB calls $0.09, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, MP calls $0.08, CO folds.

Flop: ($0.34) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, MP checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $0.34</font>, SB folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $0.68</font>, Hero calls $0.34.

Turn: ($1.70) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
MP checks, Hero checks.

River: ($1.70) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">MP bets $0.32</font>, Hero calls $0.32.

Final Pot: $2.34


Hand #2:
No real reads on Villian. Only 11 hands on him, he looks willing to play 2 cards (72/0/0).

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (6 max) converter

Hero ($1.97)
UTG ($1.34)
MP ($2.28)
Button ($3.40)
SB ($1.63)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.02, MP calls $0.02, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: ($0.08) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $0.06</font>, Hero calls $0.06, UTG calls $0.06, <font color="#CC3333">MP raises to $0.26</font>, SB folds, Hero folds, UTG folds.

Final Pot: $0.52

I didn't like Villian's possible range of hands. 77, QJ, Q7 [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] , J7 [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] came to mind. I didn't know if Villian was capable of semi-bluffing. I didn't want to build the pot OOP, either. Maybe seeing monsters. A PFR would have made this hand easier to play, but I did not like my position.

Thanks for the help.
