NL25, is bet/folding turn best play here?

[HANABI]

It's not the first time a situation like this comes up where I feel that bet/folding is the best option. Usually when i have a reasonably strong hand on a very drawy board and feel the need to protect it and not give free opportunity for villains to bluff on a scary river. Here's one example.. if i had the ace of clubs i'd check the turn here.

Grunch:

I think both hands are fine. I would have played it the same way.

Seems fine to me

First hand looks good. Second hand I think I would have called his push. I don't know it just looks like a weak bet on the turn and villain may have took your big raise as a bluff. I know we only have TPTK but he looks weak to me.

I'd check turn in the 1st after he calls your flop raise I doubt your hand is good, and I would try to get to showdown as cheap as possible.

The second hand is debatable whether raising is good. I think if you're not going to call his shove you really shouldn't raise.
