Aggression

[jakbse]

I have played about 17.000 over half a year. My stats are 17/7/1,6 and I'm trying to increase my aggression both pre and postflop. Below are three examples where I think I might not have been aggressive enough.

Hand 1

Villian in this hand is 48/8/1,3

ShouldI cap the flop and lead the turn here?

Hand 2:

On the flop my thought is that there must be a better ace with 3 opponents. Should I bet out instead?

<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

I figure the pot is too small to make it profitable to play for a set even from the SB, getting 6:1, would be be better to raise and hopefully fold BB?
