I think I played horrible post-flop. I didn't check-raise the turn because I didn't "feel" that my hand was good. Whatever. Terrible.

You forgot to bring your aggression.

Hand 1 - Just calling the first flop bet is fine with me. A raise wouldn't be so bad though. I'd check-raise the turn. Since you didn't, you MUST checkraise the river. Your hand is #1!!!!!

Hand 2 - I would bet the flop.
