NL 25 - 2 hands made it to showdown - Critique?

[automaton_22]

Please critique my play on these two hands.
+EV?
Spewy?
Not aggressive enough on turn?

Not much in the way of reads, but Villains did not seem to be donkish.

Bump

Hand 1 - fold this preflop. You are calling an UTG raiser with a weak hand in the worst position.

[automaton_22]

Possible, but this was half a BB to call, the table was passive and the BB was unlikely to raise. Chance to see a cheap flop with a hand that could hit.
But yeah, folding probably standard there.

Whoops...thought it was NL10, not a minraise.
