Hand 1:
Min raise on the flop is weak. Make it at least $9 or $10 to go, and then fold to the $20 push. Why? The min-raise gives him about 4.5:1 to call and see the next card if he's bluffing - which makes it +EV to call with just a flush draw. You at least want him to make an error if he's semi-bluffing and considers chasing by calling your raise. If you make it $10 to go and he raises to $20, you have to call ~$10 to a pot of ~34 or 3:1 odds, but you are probably way behind (or up against an OESFD type of drawing hand) so folding at that point is ok.

Other than the size of the flop raise, this is good.

Makes sense trying to make him do a mistake here. Never thought of it this way. Still there are few drawing hands that villian raise with from EP if he's a true 18/7. But makin it 10$ to go was said before and now I see why.
