Couple 6-max 50NL overpair hands. I'm still unsure of the value of an overpair at 6-max. First one is BB's first hand at the table, so no reads.

NB: I have no idea why the hands came out in different formats.

Hand #2: Villain is a very aggressive sLAG. I haven't been at the table for very long (maybe two or three orbits). I just raised to $2 the previous hand and won the blinds, otherwise I haven't done much.

are we ever calling that riverbet instead of raising?
are we ever folding to his reraise?

This is exactly the thread for next couple of hands... In their core they are pretty simple, but maybe more can be learned from them so I encourage you to give a couple of suggestions..

HAND 1:
villain is 32 / 2 / 1.14 / 25% WtSD / 61% W$SD over 400 hands.. Just let it go on flop or try and push him off the hand if i think that he CAN'T be having trips there?

HAND 2:

Should I bet turn or is the shutdown legitimate?
