Here is my general advice: I would fold both of these hands on the flop.

Now I know that I definitely fold too much; however, the people playing 100NL call way way too much. I take shots at small pots on the flop (I make a lot of continuation bets) and I give up when I get resistance. My theory is that I may be losing a lot of small pots (getting bluffed) but I am going to win enough huge pots to make up for this. I try to avoid the tough decisions with a marginal hand.

You make money because they call too much and are overly aggressive. You save money because you fold marginal hands in small pot. Wait to get your money in when you are a clear favorite.

I realize that this is probably a leak in my game; however, I am winning a lot at 100NL with this strategy. This also is giving me enough table time to get comfortable with the game (I moved to 100NL from limit).

As I am getting comfortable I am going to try to improve my hand reading skills and will slowly start to try to tackle the more marginal situations bit by bit.

Somebody please correct me if this is donkey advice.
