What do you think?

I don't think you have much FE in either one (on the turn). But yet this is good for metagame and your image. You also balance for when you have a set or similar.

By the way. I think you just can call the flop raise and take it from there. But you can also play as you did.

Re: 2 more drawing hands NL400
 

In hand 1 I would have just bet/called the flop since we're deep. As played, I would seriously consider check/folding. I can't see having any fold equity once he just calls your flop 3bet. Maybe I'm wrong about that though.

I think hand 2 is fine. Not that it matters, but I'm curious why you didn't just push the turn?
