Does anybody think I should slowplay these hands? With AQ, I was debating whether to check the flop, but with the 76s I decided I shouldn't try it.

(I realize my postflop play was questionable on both accounts, especially the 76s utg. I have no explanation except maybe I felt lucky?)

First hand. Since its a rainbow flop I like to make a minbet. (Im no fan of "let him catch something on a later street" school of slowplaying unless I have the nuts). The minraise usually looks like you trying to steal this pot and might induce action. Of course sometimes there is no money to be had from a hand no matter what you do.

Second you have a flush and straight draw out on the board. You have to bet this one. I do think it is a bit excessive to bet more than the pot. 200-225 will still give people poor odds for their drawing hands and will increase the odds of a guy with pair of aces calling.
