Default Can you get away from these hands ?

Hi all, I've been playing like 30k hands on other sites and now moved to cake. I've read books, forums etc.. but still struggling to build up a decent bankroll.

I'm trying to find out if I should fold more hands at the microstakes. Here are some examples.

Example 1: I bet top pair top kicker and hit trips on the river while facing a reraise:




Example 2: Betting top pair and hitting 2p on the river while facing a reraise:




I definately have no feeling when i'm up against a set, but then again this play does make me win sometimes. Your thoughts ?

I think your play in both hands is fine and I think you'd be losing money, in the long run If you didn't stack off in these spots.

its not that common to play trips the way like these villains do. At this limit I see more checkraising and reraising in drawy boards. They acted both times like they are drawing and your line was fine.
Actually river reraise is allways nuts, but I cannot fold here either.

I c/c the first hand on the river quite a lot.

I might make it like 1.6$ on the turn and shove the river myself in the second hand.
