Default 2 hands (live 1/2/5)

Hand 1:

I have AhAd8d2h OTB with $850 or so and raise to $30. 5 callers. Flop 8hTdJh. Player to my right (he has me covered) bets $160.

I laid this down but was very uncertain after the hand. I think I probably get very little in implied odds on my immediate flush, and I'm not sure this guy is the type to lay down a straight to a bigger straight, so I think it would be pretty risky bluffing a 9, Q or K. But... those cards might slow him down. If I spike an A, I'd be willing to push it. And I do get serious implied odds on a diamond (and if that happens to be 9, Q or K, I'd bet it). Anyhow, there are 18 "good cards" in the deck for me (8 for each non-pairing flush and 2 additional aces), and a paired board might also slow him down.

Hand 2:

I have $530 or so and raise KhQhTc8c to $25 OTB. 5 callers. Flop comes 7c3c2c. Checked to me, I pot it for $150. All but player to my right (same guy) fold. Hmmmm...

Turn 9c. Check. My play?
