Hand 1:

Only been with UTG for two orbits, but seems fairly tight. PF raiser is a donkey, 42/23 after 100, maniac pf but very easy to outplay postflop, hence the call.

UTG bets $7, MP1 calls $7, Hero...

What now? Would you assume trips are good here and try to extract some value?

Hand 2:

My notes on villain (19/5):
p AA(5)
c 77(3) 22(4)
l TT(m) 89s(co)
sudden river aggression indicates strength!!
will slow play, checked set to river, monster raised bet.
very aggressive with overpairs
bets into weakness when checked to

I'm fairly sure villain wouldn't call a pf raise with junk.
I've been playing fairly conservatively at this table, haven't made many moves.

OK, so it's a set, overpair or a bluff. I decided on overpair and pushed all in. Thoughts?
