TP, played well or weakly? and misplayed drawing hand

[toby]

First hand I slowed down when he bet into me on the turn, should I have raised and simply called another bet on the river?

Second hand, I really didn't like calling the raise on the turn, but I think UTG would bet the ace on the flop. Pot odds are not favoring paying for the flush. (Can anyone tell me what they are exactly, I don't know how they work when you already put one BB in, then are raised) Lastly should I call at the end with 2nd pair here.

Hand 1: You played it OK. Against an unknown player I often play it like this. Especially on the river, because you lose to AQ/QJ/QT/Q9/Q8 which seem like his most logical hands.

Hand 2: Bet the flop. You can usually fold on the river, because the most likely holding for UTG is an Ace. A lot of players will often check on the flop in small pots with a top pair of Aces when checked to on the button.

I was going to check-call the flop on Hand 2, but in retrospect I like betting out because I might just pick up the pot there and not be faced with having to call a bet on the turn when the bet is bigger than the pot size.
