Default First Stab at 50NL - 2 Hands

I survived my first shot at 50NL! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I dropped about 3 buy-ins in 800 hands, but I think overall I played fairly well.
These two hands gave me some trouble though...

<font color="blue">Hand 1:</font>
<font color="green">The button posted UTG earlier, so I assumed he was a big donk. He seemed fairly loose. Is my combo draw strong enough to be shoving here?</font>

Preflop: Hero is dealt 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (6 Players)
UTG checks, MP calls $0.50, <font color="red">Hero raises to $3.00</font>, BTN calls $3.00, 4 folds

Flop: ($7.75) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $5.00</font>, <font color="red">BTN raises to $10.00</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises all-in to $56.95???</font>


<font color="blue">Hand 2:</font>
<font color="green">UTG was somewhat passive, so this line from him seemed kinda strong from the get-go. The CO was a loose-passive donk, if that matters at all. I was kinda lost throughout this whole hand, and what do you do when you're lost??? Play Fancy!!! No, but seriously, should I re-raise preflop to get more than just set value out of 10-10? And what to do on this flop?</font>

<font color="green">Obviously I'm folding to shove here, but what should my plan be for the turn if I'm called?</font>
