Folding top pair

[Schwatt]

I have figured out one of my biggest money drainers in NL is over-valueing TP/GK type hands. Here are some laydowns that I am unsure of:

Villian is 30/10/3 over ~20 hands

Villian is an Uber-nit 10/7/2

I am losing to AK and AJ, tied with AQ, villian probably wouldnt even raise AT pf here. I called flop because that seems to be the standard play is this situatio in NL(WA/WB), but I am thinking I should have raised this flop?
