Hi this is my first hand post, so be gentle :-)
I have only played 6000 hands of NL50, I have been a solid 15/9/3.
(made 5.6 PTBB/100)
Did I play these big pairs ok?
Hand1

MP2 ($45.35)
Hero ($53.25)
CO ($22.65)
Button ($110.80)
SB ($33.55)
BB ($31.45)
UTG ($35.40)
UTG+1 ($7.75)
MP1 ($22.10)
Preflop: Hero is MP3 with A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif.
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls $0.50, MP1 calls $0.50, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises to $2.5</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $9.25</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, UTG+1 calls $7.25 (All-In), MP1 folds, MP2 calls $6.75.
Flop: ($27.50) 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font>
MP2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $27.5</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets $36.1</font>, Hero calls all-in.
Final Pot: $82.50
Is my flop bet only getting called by sets? Should I have made it $20?
Dont forget the pot is inflated by the player all-in.
I guess his range is AKs, KK, QQ, JJ, TT
Hand 2
Did I fold correctly, was I too passive?

<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $13.8</font>, Hero folds.
Final Pot: $27.60
I only called on the flop, because I had not seen the villain lead out with a pot-sized bet oop. IMO, this usually screams strong hand- like 888 or AKo.
The turn decision was easy but I am not sure what I would have done on a different turn card.

I called the button raise because my read told me I was ahead (he had TT), and I did not want to shut out MP1 by raising.
(MP1 had a set of 7s)
I guess this last one could not be avoided, but am I wrong?
