I've been trying to work on my button play. this first hand is where I've been thinking about raising more hands when there a lot or limpers. was the call bad? I figured I was getting about 2.5:1 on my money, and there were a lot of hands that I was in fair shape against, plus I thought there was gonna be about 12BB of dead money in the pot. thoughts on all streets? I don't see how in this situation I could've fired out unimproved:

second hand: I thought I tried the opposite with a less connected hand. on the flop I figured that since no one had shown any real strength and it was a min-bet, I'd peel one off to see if I could improve. when I do on the turn, I fire out because it is such a draw heavy board, and then I have to fold to an ugly river. thoughts on this line?
