Backdoor flush hit me upside the head. Play more aggressive or get out of this after the flop?

I'm not too sure about this. A lot of the outs I was drawing to were weak hands for a 4 handed showdown. Comments?

Hand 1 - Bet the turn. Why did you not bet the turn? And why are you looking to "get out after this flop"????

Hand 2 - I would raise the turn bet. MP2's bet doesn't mean he has an A. Raising should force out the drawing players or at least charge them to incorrectly call. There's a good chance you have the best hand here, you should start worrying only if you're 3-bet. The flop call is thin, but good.
