Re: Experienced at fixed limit - 2 first hands at nolimit
Hand 1: That river couldn't really hurt you. The flush does finish, but not many will be drawing to a runner-runner flush without pot odds and implied odds. The 7 doesn't complete any hands. If he has the straight, he already had it and this card doesn't help him. I would've check/called here and expected to either see a busted straight draw or the flopped straight.
Hand 2:
If they're folding to your raises, then raise more hands. Don't raise small with a large hand just because you want action, just loosen up your requirements.
I think on the flop I would fire out a 1/2-2/3 pot bet and then get the rest in on the turn. When you flop a monster, you want to build the pot right away.
