Default Re: Sanity check with sets, not that deep 5/10 NL

Hand 1 I didn't reraise the flop, because I didn't want to blow the villain off the 1 pair type of hand. He is capable of getting in a lot of money in with something like 2 pairs there, but it would be harder to get more money out of him if I 3-bet the flop. Only thing I am worried about to give a free card is probably KQ.

Hand 2. A lot of scare cards can come on the turn that I am not sure how to deal with OOP. The guy is probably too tight to pay me off with less then a set if he sees a scare card. Hell, he might even let a set go if the flush hits. After I donk-3-bet the flop and he pushes, we can remove big draws from his range, because he was getting great odds to just call. But at that point I call even if he turns AQ face up.

It just feels to me that I play boards like this OOP in a way that helps me to avoid making tough decisions later in the hand, but probably sacrifices some value from weaker hands.
