I can honestly say i'm not too sure about hand 1. The way i see it is your getting 10/1 on a 8/1 shot, while your hand maybe good on the turn your open it redraws on the river if you hit your jack. I say it was close, but i'd fold. If they were sooted say QJ /images/graemlins/heart.gif i think i'd be check raising.

Hand 2 again, i'm not sure with redraws and all, your getting a good price to play.

I'd be interested to see what others thought.
