Hand 1 ... I don't understand Lucky saying not to raise TT preflop here?
The only thing I would've done differently is raise somewhat less preflop. I think this will help keep the pot smaller so that if necessary, it will be easier to get away from the hand.

As it plays out - I think I would fold here. I find it really strange that your opponents first limp and then call 6.5 BBs more ? Sounds pretty LAP to me ... Villain could be holding a mighty strange two pair, bigger overpair or a set. With absolutely no idea where I stand, I fold.

Hand 2, with 1 limper, I think the preflop raise is quite right. The only thing I would've played differently is the river. When the 3rd spade hits and you check - you're giving villain an invitation to take the pot away from you. I think this is a spot where you need to put in a block-bet.
