In hand 2 the flop call is definetly suspect but I figured if with my position I could possibly move at this pot if a total blank fell or at the very least check behind if they were planning a move and get 5 cards for a moderate fee

Well, I might actually bet this turn in hand 2 since they both checked. I know you only wanted to bet a blank one, but since you only have a draw to 2nd nuts on a 4 flush, the draw isn't worth all that much... unless you think its very likely that somebody was checking the flush planning hoping to get a CR in. A turn bet might be a decent semibluff, since you could possibly fold out KQ, or a weak 2 pair, but if they call with those, you'll likely have outs. and also, a decnet sized bet might force the A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] to fold if somebody has that.

I don't know though, check is probably not bad, you should at least have stongly considered a turn bet IMO, and you had no reads in the post, so its hard to say what play is best.
