Grunch:

Hand 1 looks perfectly played to me.

Hand 2 I would not have slowed down on the turn. Why give credit for the gutshot? After checking behind the turn, I just don't know what the best play is -- calling seems as reasonable as any.

If I bet the turn and was c/r'd, I think I would also call down as this seems a reasonable board for overpairs and A7-type hands.
