Brutal 2 Hands

So today was the first time I played cash in a bit. Lets just say I'm not off to a great start. I only played for a bit over an hour because I ran god awful, lost 2 buy-ins consecutively at the same table and just didn't want it to get any worse.

Here are the 2 hands where this happened:

The villain in this hand was playing 24/18/3 over 124 hands and seemed to be half decent. His small flop bet through me for a loop so I popped it up a bit. The turn I bet a bit on the small side wanting him to come along. The river I can't get away as I hit 2 pair and my stack is only $2 more than his raise.
