2 possible turn pushes (1 misplayed and one that I'm not sure of)

The first hand was at really laggy table at which I feel my image probably was somewhere in the weak-tight range. I pushed with the thinking that they would muck any marginal hands and call with any thing I could beat with my double gutter and flush draw...I felt I had fairly high fold equity here.

The 2nd hand I can't find the hand history for but it was a heads up post flop AA hand between me and a laggy but not stupid player. I made it 8X BB (2$) PrF and he calls...my stack is around 35$ and his is around 81$. Flop comes Q J 9....I pot it for just over 5$ and he calls. The turn is an A...I have a strong inclination that he didn't flop the str8 so at this point I definitely have the strongest hand. There is around 16$ in the pot and I bet out for 10$....in retrospect I think this would have been a great spot for a push...Anyone in agreeance on this point?? I can make him pay dearly for his draws or be near drawing dead if he happens to have a strong 2pr or underset. anyways...the river hit a 10...he woke up and value bet for 6$....with 36+in the pot I have to call here even though I know his holding is likely good...Is the turn push the way to not feel disgusted after a hand like this???? If you havern't put together a solid range of hands for villian here...results on the 2nd hand will follow criticism/advise...Thanks
