"Hand 1: It seems slim but you there and it was your read. As for 75s first in, I generally raise any hand I'm going to limp with if the game is tight and I think I can buy position and/or outplay my opp. postflop etc... Eh?"

Yes I do like to raise with those types of hands sometimes.

"Hand 2: I like it, I assume you are giving up if he calls/raises?"

Yes - I give up if he raises for sure on the turn. I might fire another barrell on the river if I thought he was drawing and missed. If it does not look like his draw got there, I would consider making a bet on the river. That would be a tough situation. I might fire out half the pot or something like that if I didn't have anything. I also had the gutshot draw that might bail me out on the river if I am called on the turn.

In the actual hand, the villain folded on the turn, and I wasn't faced with a difficult river decision. One problem with betting the river would be if the villain had called the flop and turn with an Ace high flush draw, which would be a logical hand for him to have (assuming he called my turn bet).
