I've been running bad lately and am starting to question my play, I need to run a few typical hands past you guys to see if my play has deteriorated or if it's just variance:

Now in these HU situations I tend to bleed, still I can't fold such a big hand when I know he can't put me on such a big hand. But the turn check-raise is so often strong at this site, should I just fold?

Now the turn should I bet my flushdraw even though it was the A? Should I just check and pray for the free card?
