Hi, Ok, i will give my take on both hands.
Hand 1. Your flop bet is ok, i may have bet $45 given the two hearts on the board, but dont have a problem with your sizing of $30 into a pot of $51 ish. I put caller on a flush draw or Jx hand. Turn bet is half pot, I probably would have bet a little more, but i can understand wanting to keep the other in the hand against your full house. I put villain on flush draw and Jx hand. I think if he had AJ he would raise on the turn. So i think KJ,QJ,J10 and flush draw.
River, Villain bets $100, not even half pot ($220ish), I have to make the crying call here. If he got there with Kj, or QJ etc, then i have to pay that off. I have blocker to J9 so i dont think he has this most of the time here. I played the set, then full house under represented to keep him to river. I have to think he also may have missed flush and cant win at showdown or has 44.
I am not happy to call, but i have to the way it was played.
—————————————————————————-
Second hand is much easier call for me and i am never folding there.
On flop of 966, Villain reraised to $100 and then flat calls your 3 bet of $260. This is pretty much narrowing the range to just one hand type in my opinion.some 6x hand. 65,64,86,76. I dont think she has a 9x hand to call another $160. I dont think she will do this for two pair good kicker against my obvious 6 hand. You are repping the 6 completely.
What does villain have to make the flat call? Will she do this with AA,KK or 99, or 96?Since i have blocker to the 6, i can probably remove 96, and she is not in blind. While she MIGHT play 96 suited, if she had 99 or 96 suited for flopped top full house, wouldnt she reraise the 3 bet and get it all in? She would certainly put me on a 6x hand and know i will call when i show the strength to 3 bet her. So i can remove 99 as well.
Will she do this with AA or KK and see the turn. maybe. will she do this with 6x hand? yes. So on the flop villain has 6x ( which we beat with A6,) AA or KK. She folds any 9x hand and probably folds AA,KK having to put me on a 6 once i 3 bet. So the only hand she can have is 6x hand. There arent any others that make sense.
good luck at the tables

Depends on how many fold to me and how aggressive or passive the table is. If its passive, i raise. If its aggressive, i call or fold. If half the table folds to me, i call and am prepared to call a raise. If i am later position, i raise. I dont think there is a cut and dry answer. Table dynamics and position play a large part in my raise, call or fold pre.
Tiny pocket pairs in limit as you said dont hold up often, and its only one pair, and bottom set does get cracked often enough for you to be wary.
Good luck at the tables.
