I have a couple of hands which I would like a bit of clarity, please. On both hands, I have to data on the villains.

PokerStars - $0.05 NL FAST (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by Holdem Manager 3

Hero (BTN): $5.07 (101.4 bb)
SB: $3.42 (68.4 bb)
BB: $4.83 (96.6 bb)
UTG: $5.03 (100.6 bb)
MP: $5.07 (101.4 bb)
CO: $11.89 (237.8 bb)

SB posts $0.02, BB posts $0.05

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.07) Hero has 7♣: 7♦:
2 folds, CO raises to $0.12, Hero calls $0.12, SB raises to $0.53, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.41

Flop: ($1.23, 2 players) Q♠: 4♠: 3♥:
SB bets $0.60, Hero calls $0.60

Turn: ($2.43, 2 players) 6♥:
SB bets $1.15, Hero folds

Results: $2.43 pot ($0.10 rake)
Final Board: Q♠: 4♠: 3♥: 6♥:

SB wins $2.33

In this spot after his 3bet preflop to defend his blind, I put him on a lot of broadways hands that include the Q and pocket pairs 77+. Whilst not having any data on the villain I folded in the turn. My issue here is, could I have called his turn and then river?

BTN: $5.00 (100 bb)
SB: $5.31 (106.2 bb)
BB: $5.00 (100 bb)
Hero (UTG): $5.00 (100 bb)
MP: $8.45 (169 bb)
CO: $4.27 (85.4 bb)

SB posts $0.02, BB posts $0.05

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.07) Hero has K♣: A♦:
Hero raises to $0.15, fold, CO calls $0.15, fold, SB raises to $0.70, fold, Hero calls $0.55, fold

Flop: ($1.60, 2 players) 3♠: 4♠: 8♣:
SB checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($1.60, 2 players) 8♦:
SB bets $1.00, Hero calls $1.00

River: ($3.60, 2 players) 5♣:
SB bets $3.61 and is all-in, Hero folds

Results: $3.60 pot ($0.15 rake)
Final Board: 3♠: 4♠: 8♣: 8♦: 5♣:

SB wins $3.45

In this spot again I have no data on the villain, yet I do put him on TT+, AJo+, KQs+ 3 betting range. The way he has pushed all-in on the river could it indicate he might have missed and could not fold an AJ, AQ, AK or even a KQ? Should I have called that push on the river or have I done the correct thing in folding? I think if he had TT+ villain would have played in another fashion. Also, the way he checked the flop as it was a low flop, makes me more to incline that he could have had AJ+ and missed otherwise you would want to start getting value out of TT+ from the get-go.

Would just fold 77 pre-flop after sb 3-bet. Most flops will have overs and it's too difficult to continue.

The AK hand I would 4-bet

Yeah, once CO folds, I think OP should fold. If CO called then 77 should call on BTN closing action ip.

77 is fold pre-flop, short stack squeeze, call when play 100bb+, marginal hand. Post flop fine...
AK- standard play, you have TT+ for bluff-catch...

1st hand: call pre is ok, although I prefer folding too. He's short and people don't squeeze enough to justify it on the long run. Flop just fold vs 1/2.
2nd hand: 4bet pre for sure. As played fold turn.
