Re: two big hands
Hand 1: I don't quite understand your min raise preflop. Typically with 1010 you either limp and go for set value, or you raise enough to limit the field.
This flop is good for your hand. You hold an overpair with lots of potential draws. Its unlikely you'll run into JJ, QQ, KK or AA unless someone was being really cute preflop. 89, and 34, or two pair are possible but unlikely.
Once EP raises 50 there is 170 chips in the pot; you have 445 left. I would strongly consider pushing here. At a minimum you want to raise the pot, but that would put around %40 or your stack in the middle, and you're gonna have a real tough decision on the turn as most cards are gonna make this board scary, so I think pushing is just as good.
Of course, I'm assuming that this is low-limit, in which case I'd fully expect a call from 88, 99, A7, K7, x7. There are quite a few good draws out there, but you are likely ahead of most of them.
Only my opinion,
