Ask any newbie question here

2 questions, both of them kinda general as I work my way through the 10s.

1) I run into the most trouble playing when I am up against calling stations. I occasionally get down to 4 or 5 people left and can't steal the blinds because someone is always calling, either behind me or calling on one of the blinds. Obviously, this is ok if I get some decent hands, but is there anything I can do if my hands suck, or do I have to just push and hope?

2) When stealing a blind on the bubble (say 50/100) blinds and everyone at about 1400-1600, how aggressive should I be with continuation bets if I am called. I tend to be fairly aggressive after the flop in that situation, but I tend to get trapped and/or reraised when I do this.
