Hello guys.
I haven't been playing much lately or very well when I do play.
I'd like some analysis on a couple of hands, to see what I can do better. On both of these hands I flopped small sets. Table is fairly normal most of the time.

I think I played this hand pretty well PF and on the flop. I 3-bet the turn because I thought maybe the A hit the button, but I didn't like the cap. I started wondering what he could cap with. I know the straight was unlikely but villain was a loose player and maybe I ran into a bigger set or two pair(which of course I beat) but I was thinking more along the lines that he had the wheel.
I wasn't sure if I should bet/raise the river. I was glad to see diamonds/clubs didn't make it although I doubted he'd cap the turn on a flush draw, but any 5 beats me. What do you guys do?
Same table two and half rounds later. I'm not doing very well at this table. (down $10) When I get pocket 33's. Its probably to early a position to limp in with such a small pocket pair isn't it but I figured there's already one limper in the pot so why not come along? (bad call?)

Looks like BB flopped a straight, I'm just hoping for a board pair. I'm getting 19/2 after BB caps plus I doubt SB is gonna fold for one SB, so I should definitely call 2 SB's back at me right?

I shouldn't raise here should I? I feel like I'm behind, but I have outs. I'm not thinking of folding, but should I be?

Alas no board pair and I just know I have to be beat here but i'm getting 14/1 on my set nobody folds here right?
Thanks for any input guys, I know I've probably made quite a few mistakes on both hands, hopefully I can learn something out this.
