Hands for review -- Coming out of downswing

[Lady Dont Tekno]

Hey guys I think I may be over my 30BI downswing (hopefully). Some hands to keep my mind sane.

Hand 1
Total number of players : 4
Seat 4: TIXOH45 (1300)
Seat 5: wanderingd (2025)
Seat 8: gregbuff (2470)
Seat 10: HERO (2205)
TIXOH45 posts small blind (150)
wanderingd posts big blind (300)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to HERO [ 5s, 5h ]
gregbuff folds.
HERO raises (2205) to 2205
HERO is all-In.

Too aggressive when I can afford to wait?

Hand 2
Total number of players : 4
Seat 1: NEPatri0ts (1930)
Seat 2: MadMaestro (1940)
Seat 3: timmyod (3230)
Seat 7: HERO (900)
MadMaestro posts small blind (100)
timmyod posts big blind (200)
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to HERO [ 5h, 9d ]
HERO raises (900) to 900
HERO is all-In.

With the BB on me next, should I make this play while I still have some FE or should I just fold my junk?

1 and 2 seem fine to me.

3 I think has many problems. Why did you bet only half the pot here? If the guy has picked up a flush draw, you're giving him the odds to call. I'd push here on the turn. I'd definately push on the river.

1) Easy all-in from the button at this blind level.

2) What did you have on the hand before when you were the button? I would have pushed there with any two for the reasons you stated (need FE) unless UTG had bet. This push is +EV only if the blinds are playing pretty tight. With the BB only having to call 600 I think his calling standards are going to be very loose especially if he thinks on a level where he knows you'll push a wide range knowing you need FE. It's a tough spot.

3) Bigger bet on the flop. I push the turn though the /images/graemlins/diamond.gif is a scare card. You're going all the way with this one regardless.
