Hand 1
Wow, way too tight. Especially against a lag I'm dying to get my chips into this pot.

Hand 2

I see people make this play all the time and quite frankly I don't understand it. You might be able to make an arguement for re-raising the flop if you have position but out of position I think you are throwing away money. In this specific hand villain re-raised you pre flop so it's very likely he has an overpair to this board. I would check/fold or bet out and be ready to shut down if he raises or calls.
