Hand #1 is good. The only suspect question is whether to call the river.

In hand #2, you should be raising somewhere on the first two streets. Because you are in last position, and so will have tons of information on the turn, and because your equity goes up a lot with a favorable turn card (namely not an overcard or card that makes a gutshot), I'd consider waiting until the turn to put in your raise there.
