I'd like some comments on how I played two hands against the same villain. I'll post the first hand with hidden results and the second hand is right after. I was on a bit of a downswing, so I'm not sure if I was thinkin logically or emotionally.

Here is the first hand:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) converter

CO ($1.16)
Button ($5.49)
SB ($3.35)
BB ($5.53)
UTG ($4.98)
UTG+1 ($7.13)
MP1 (Villain)/ ($3.05)
Hero ($2.62)
MP3 ($1.78)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
UTG calls $0.02, 1 fold, MP1 (Villain)/ raises to $0.04, Hero raises to $0.08, 2 folds, Button calls $0.08, 2 folds, UTG folds, MP1 (Villain)/ calls $0.04.

Flop: ($0.29) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
Villain bets $0.08, Hero raises to $0.2, Button folds, Villain calls $0.12.

Turn: ($0.69) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Villain bets $0.3, Hero calls $0.30.

River: ($1.29) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Villain bets $0.47, Hero calls $0.47.

Final Pot: $2.23

Results in white below: 
Villain has Qs 8d (two pair, nines and eights).
Hero has Ts Td (two pair, tens and nines).
Outcome: Hero wins $2.23. 

An orbit or two later I was up against the same oppenent with this hand:
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) converter

SB ($1.34)
BB ($5.29)
UTG ($5)
UTG+1 ($5.39)
MP1 ($4.24)
MP2 ($7.23)
MP3 (Villain)/ ($2.67)
Hero ($3.31)
Button ($1.21)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.02, MP1 calls $0.02, MP2 calls $0.02, MP3 (Villain)/ raises to $0.1, Hero raises to $0.2, 3 folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls $0.18, MP2 calls $0.18, MP3 (Villain)/ calls $0.10.

Flop: ($0.85) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (4 players)
MP1 checks, MP2 checks, Villain bets $0.22, Hero raises to $0.6, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, Villain calls $0.38.

Turn: ($2.05) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Villain bets $1.87 (All-In), Hero folds.

Final Pot: $3.92

The villain showed his cards after he took the pot, I'll share those later. Anyway, should I have folded because he had already tried to bluff me out once, or should I call because of the same reasoning? All other comments/criticism welcome, fairly new to online poker and lookin to improve.
