Both of these hands look fine to me.

Really? Hand 2 looks ok to me, but hand 1 doesn't look good at all. OP got all in with bottom set against two opponents who are showing considerable strength and two straights are possible. This can't possibly be good.

Hero is getting 3:1 on his call without even considering BB. I think you see KJ and a flush draw or a similiar combination often enough that this is a decent call.

If you always get all your money in when you have a set or a 2-card straight on a non-scary board (no pair, no flush, no four-to-a-straight), you will do very well for yourself. If they have straights, or higher straights, good for them; they usually won't.
