What is the buy-in?

HAND ONE - Easy fold even against the loose cannons at the $11s. The UTG limp-reraise is a classic move for big hands that even donks like me employ. You might be in a coinflip btu why risk it? You could also be dominated.

HAND TWO - I always lead out with two pairs and a flush or straight draw (and I rarely ever get two pairs without oone or both). I never want to give up a free card that kills me. Sometimes you're up against a hand better than yours - an already made flush, straight (not applicable here) or a set or a better two pairs, which sucks, but you can fold to a reraise if it gets hairy.
