ya I'd just raise the flop in the first one and take the variance if he pushes with higher flush draw (even so, your equity wouldn't be horrible if your straight outs and 9 are good). Against a 70 BB stack i'd be pretty happy to just 3-bet and hopefully he 4-bets and you get it in on the flop.

Hand 2 is really annoying b/c your line basically wreaks of flush and if player is competent then this is an easy fold... I guess he's donkish enough to make this a call, I just always lose when passive players push the river when they usually just call even with their strong hands (Straights/lower flushes). I guess I'd call though, he's raising PF, and betting two streets.. real passives will check their FD at some point on flop/turn.. unless they had a big combo like AcQc or JcQc.
