I was just wondering if I played these hands too aggressively from the blinds, and whether I can save a bet or two by playing similar situations differently.
Hand 1: I flop TPNK, and have no reads on villain in SB. Unsure about whether the hand is worth playing on the flop, although the bet from the SB gives me a good opportunity to raise and defend it. Also, the river- take the free showdown perhaps?

Hand 2: I get overexcited defending my big blind from SB raise with K9o. Is this hand too weak (pf) to reraise with here -especially as i have no reads on SB yet? The turn -take the free card?
