Need input on two hands

[IIAce]

First hand (I had A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]):
Button was a calling station and a bit on the maniacish side. I know I can't fold the river here but is there ANYWAY I could have made it wrong for him to call? (ie. check the flop and bet/raise the turn)
