2 hands, good call? good bet?

[Lafortezza]

First hand, the river call seemed fine to me considering the betting patterns on previous streets.

Second hand, the plan was a strong bet on the flop and fold to any reraise. If my flop bet got called 2+ players I was done with the hand. If I got called in one spot then I'd think about the turn when I got there.
Looking back my flop bet was probably pretty terrible considering the size of the field going to the flop.
Villains are collectively pretty decent so they would definitely give me credit for a preflop raising hand like 789T.
