Villain is 53/3/0.7 after 30 hands.

I have no idea what to do here from the turn forward.

There's a few things that I could do in this hand: maybe raise the turn for a free showdown (that might not work in this hand due to the river card if opponent has a pair, but oh well), and maybe just fold the turn. My preflop and flop play was specifically chosen to punish overcards.

Of course, if I'm three-bet on the turn I can fold.

However, I think maybe a better line would have been to cap preflop, bet the flop and turn and take a free showdown.

It's tough to say.

Hand #1 I think you lead the turn because YHIG too often.

Hand #2 is kinda tough when you don't know if villian is capable of a re-steal or not. The PF cap wouldn't really accomplish much because you're not getting a cheap showdown anyway if he has a bigger pair. I don't think AK is hardly ever 3-betting that flop, and I feel like a turn fold is ok as weak as that sounds, although I'd probably just call down from the flop on in the heat of action.

Hand 1: I woulda bet/fold this turn.

Hand 2: Capped PF and then go from there. SB might lead out anyway and you're in the same situation you were in before.

I think you need to just calldown. Maybe someone can find a fold.

hand #1: i like how it was played against an aggressive player. that is a bluff flush draw waiting to happend. save the BB to see showdown. bet/fold IMO is not an option though a someone could limp with A6, there are too many other hands he could have.

hand #2: gotta cap preflop. if he leads into you again: read based from there. raise the turn only if you're sureyou can get the free showdown. he could 3-bet with smaller pocket or AK and think you're on a flush draw.
