I don't raise the turn in hand 1. As played I bet both of these rivers, but its somewhat thin...

if you dont raise the turn because you dont think you are winning that often then why would you value bet the river?

If I raised the turn and he just calls, there are still plenty of hands in his range that will pay off, and you just sucked out on 54.
However, the advantages to calling the turn is, if I'm behind, I have to fold to his 3bet and give up my equity to suck out. It will be rare, but sometimes he will 3bet semi bluff, I'd rather not give hmi that opportunity if he's unknown. Lastly, a lot of players will fire the river anyway if they are semi-bluffing with 6x and have no showdown value.
