Default 2 nl hands from early this morning.

The game is NL 100 dollar buy in with 2 and 3 dollar blinds. The game is pretty loose and agressive with a few players that have about 600 in fromt of them. UTG a young college student that is overly agressive and has had to rebuy several times raises to 13 dollars. I look down and see 88 in the bb and call it's heads up. He has about 600. I have about 150. I call looking to doulbe up if i hit a set. FLOP COMES A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I check to see his action to my surprise and dismay he only bets 6 dollars. Alarm bells start ringing in my head because i've never seen him bet so little after raising preflop. I call and the turn is a rag but puts 3 clubs on the board. I lead out for 15 bucks and he has to think for a while (decided he was gonna move in or just call by the way he was mentally looking at his chips apparently counting them.) He just calls and the river brings the 4 clubs and i check crying call another 20 bucks. Sure enough he shows pocket rockets with the ace of clubs for the nut flush and top set. Anyway he's mad and claims we both were slowplaying but i was actually trying not to have to call an all in on the turn by only betting 15 when the flush hit which i figured would keep him from raising. I was so mad on the turn because i knew i had 2nd nut on the flop heads up and i was playing it like such a gimp but my instinct was right this time. All oppinions welcome.

hand 2.
I get AA on the button it's 5 handed with 90 bucks left. 2 fold to an asian gentleman who raises to 10 bucks. I smooth call hoping to double up again. flop comes king rag rag with 2 clubs. I have the A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. he bets out 10 bucks and i smooth call. the turn is the 3 rd club, another low rag and he bets out 15. I move all in for another 55 and he calls showing K10 which unfortunately rivered a 10 to beat my aces [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. Comments welcome again.
