Default How not to get value

Two hands. I have some feelings on what I did wrong but I thought they were worth sharing, mainly because I'm annoyed at myself.

They're both against the same guy. He seems like a good player; my stats on him are 33/21/2.5 but this is all the way from 9-handed to heads-up, so overall he's quite tight. He probably sees me as quite aggressive since I bluff-shoved a river earlier (and got looked up by quads [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]) and I've got the best of him in our recent clashes (bluff-pot-raising a flushing river with the naked ace, and having him tank and fold).

1)
Pot Limit Omaha Ring game
Blinds: $1/$1
6 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
Hero: $310.75
UTG+1: $98.00
CO: $54.00
Button: $327.85
SB: $51.05
BB: $75.35

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Hero calls, UTG+1 folds, CO calls, Button calls, SB checks, BB checks.

Should probably raise, but I just limp in from under the gun. Big mistake?

Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($5, 5 players)
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $4.5</font>, CO folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to $15</font>, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $50</font>, Button folds.
Uncalled bets: $35 returned to Hero.

Results:
Final pot: $35

How do you play the nut flush OOP 300 BB deep? I think I should just call on the flop because he can't have the 2nd or even 3rd nuts here. What's my plan for a non board-pairing turn?

2)
3 hands later...
I'm giving him credit for a big pair here, possibly Aces. What do you think of my betting? Should I pot the turn? How do maximize value on the river?
