too slow? or just plain misplayed?

Hand 1:

Paradise Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (10 handed) converter

Hero ($8.60)
Button ($18.44)
SB ($9.10)
BB ($7.12)
UTG ($3.01)
UTG+1 ($5.63)
UTG+2 ($2.15)
MP1 ($3.30)
MP2 ($10.35)
MP3 ($9.90)

SB has been talking alot at the table, playing alot of hands, and has no problem taking shots at weak opponents (which my image has been)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.05.
6 folds, Hero raises to $0.4, 1 fold, SB (poster) calls $0.35, 1 fold.

Flop: ($0.90) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets $0.2, Hero calls $0.20.

Call, planning to make a pot sized raise on the turn... looking back, I think I should've raised here. Am I correct in that assumption, and if so, how much? pot sized?

Turn: ($1.30) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets $0.55, Hero raises to $1.9, SB calls $1.35.

Def have it here.

River: ($5.10) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets $0.5, Hero raises to $6.1...

looked like a blocking bet to me, and not that I'm really worried about a better A or anything here.

--------------------
Hand 2:

This one, I think I just plain butchered.

Paradise Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (9 handed) converter

Hero ($8.95)
MP3 ($17.49)
CO ($5.85)
Button ($14.22)
SB ($3.06)
BB ($9.90)
UTG ($9.30)
UTG+1 ($7.95)
MP1 ($15.95)

this time, have more reliable notes on our villian (MP3):

A 59/14 here for about ~50 or so hands

open limped CO with Q8s(NL)
limped J6s UTG(NL)
over aggro, bets when checked to in LP, trying to pick up pots

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.05.
3 folds, Hero calls $0.10, MP3 raises to $0.4, 2 folds, SB (poster) calls $0.35, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.30.

Flop: ($1.30) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, MP3 bets $0.6, SB calls $0.60, Hero calls $0.60.

Turn: ($3.10) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, MP3 bets $2, SB folds, Hero raises to $5.5, MP3 calls $3.50.

River: ($14.10) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets $2.45...

I don't like hand 2.
reraise preflop. playing out of position multiway sucks.

how much? the plan was to limp-push if it was a $1 raise (9xBB, not that uncommon for the PFR to do). I had brainfreeze/wussed out on the small raise.

reraise to 2. whats villain's hand range for 9xBB raises?

this could be a raise small when I have big hand, raise big when I have marginal hand guy.

Hand 1 looks fine. Raise less on the river though, I don't think he's call that much. $3 maybe.

Hand 2... limp reraise is fine. Limp call is just useless at these levels, IMO. If he likes his hand for a raise, he likes it enough to call a reraise in all likelihood. Get as much money as you can in now, it makes postflop play that much easier and also lets him pay the most with KJs type hands.
