Fold and fold?

{Ill convert these after my session sorry}

First hand, I hated it.. I've never won in this situation, why would I start now. Have to fold this, right?

Hand 2: villain is a 40/0 moron, he's been on the verge of bustville six or seven times and I dont hate my call here at all. I figure he'd milk if he had anything worth anything, and figured him for maybe a pair+FD. But I wouldnt be posting if i was right.

Hand 1: Trips is such an obvious hand (especially with an A) that you wont get 3 streets of value out of it against anyone who doesnt have trips+ and isnt a total moron.
With this low a kicker Ill check behind on the river against reasonably tight players and make about a half pot value bet against loose players. There are very few players Id call the river raise with since your hand is so transparent.

"If you have the obvious hand, believe the raiser" - some guy.

Hand 2: His stats look incredibly passive. Incredibly passive players dont bluff so he probably has either a weaker overpair, flush or trips+ (or maybe AA,KK but these are unlikely. Even passive players tend to raise these). There are way more hands that destroy you so I think its a pretty clear fold.
