Hand 1:
It is ok I think. Only thing I dont like is the preflop call, AQo OOP against preflop raiser is not so easy, but thats a matter of taste. If you check behind on the turn you are in for some tough river decisions, I think the river bet is fine there are some worse hands calling you down, though you probably lost against a flush.

Hand 2:

Why such a small river bet? If you bet the same at the river as on the turn it screams weakness, thats why you have to call down the minraise. Bet 15 or 20 and fold if raised. I think you were beat here. The turn is a problem for me too, you just cant bet enough to make a good tricky player fold.
Dangerous River Cards:
2 Aces
3 Kings
3 Tens
3 Nines
3 Eights
6 Diamonds

--> 20 dangerous cards for you, 26 cards not extremely dangerous, but not so likeable either (like a second seven...) Against good players who are capable of reading your top pair and properly bluffing the river the hands seems -EV at the turn.

Hand 1 - I tend to check the turn when the flush card hits. I probably call the river if he bets, and bet if he checks.

Hand 2 - I check the river, and might call a reasonable bet. Betting and getting minraised = he has a better hand than you (I also call the minraise, so I dont bet in the first place) - he likely has KT.
