I keep looking at hand 1 and I'm thinking you missed a value raise somewhere. Either the turn or river.

Hand 2, don't pay off the maniacs. There's no shame in occasionally folding a pair against them. I'm not thrilled with calling down here. I'd want to raise somewhere but would hate paying off the inevitable 3-bet with any 2. Because of that, I wait until I actually have a stronger hand before going after him.
