Couple of hands

I apologize in advance for not converting these, bison's converter wouldn't work for these 22's Party Poker games. Just assume I have no reads on the villains. Also if i happened to accidentally not replace "hero" with "karmatill", thats me.

Hand 1:
-Villian had just recently tripled up from knocking out two guys, i dont remember how he did it.

In retrospect i think i should have shoved, placing him on hitting his ten or having a PP. There would be some FE if this is the case, plus i am still only a 2.1-1 dog if he calls. My main question is if i should have pushed or folded.

-Should i have folded this preflop? Should i have just checked behind me on the turn after he called my flop bet? I think my fold was easy enough after he came over the top, but the hand felt like a waste of chips to me.

-The raise from EP from a player who isnt in any real danger of getting blinded down soon and my decent chip position made me fold, but is this playing too tight?

Thanks to everyone for the input and be as critical as you can please! I would rather be berated by everyone and learn more so be harsh.

[45suited]

I stopped reading after hand one, which in my amateur opinion, was a disaster.

Pre-flop: I flat call with AQs.

Flop: Umm... what exactly were you hoping for? You have two overs and the nut flush draw. There's a little over 500 chips in the pot and you have around 600 chips left. Why re-raise pre-flop if you're folding here? Easy push.

I figured as much about hand 1, thanks 45suited.

Until recently I would have folded all three pre-flop and I did very well in my first 1000 11s. A flat call is probably better in position for a min raise. I am just working AQ early into my early game. The donkeys can make it difficult after the flop as they try to stack off. Playing just premium hands in the early levels until you get your feat wet is definately a better option that reraising AQ.
