Any thoughts ?

Hand 1, I like a bigger reraise on the flop.

Hand 2, I don't see how you can get away from that. You are practically even money against the nuts here. Unfortunate you ran into a straight and you didn't hit one of your million outs.

Hand 1# Raise Pre Flop and then Tread Cautiously... hard not to get stacked with that board by the river... but maybe you get him to fold it pre flop and save the hastle

Hand 2#: Fold Pre Flop... 103 suited in the SB... the worst position at the table... insta muck that.

A10J10 with 103 isn't such a massive hand... there's a lot that beats you that will call... though you may get a fishy call from weaker players with just an Ace or even many players if they have AJ.

Kind of unlucky.

Firstly both hands should be folded preflop. They are terrible hands, being suited doesn't improve them that much.

Hand 1

Ok dream flop and someones bet. You're right with the raise but its got to be for more. Remember part of the equity is fold equity. No one folds to minraises. Raise it to 6/7.
Nothing turn which significantly weakens your hand. He's checked to you, check behind. If you're gonna raise, again, it has to be somthing he can fold to.
River you've hit so get the money in.

Hand 2
Flop, fine.
Turn, your hand is now a complete monster the push seems like ovekill to me. You want to keep 1/2pair hands that are unsure in there. The over bet has no real advantage and will only get called by strong hands.
