First let me say that I believe my OOP play is by far the weakest part of my game and I dont really know how to fix that, so anyways any help would be greatly apprecaited

Hand 1
i am playin my normal 16/11/3.75 game and villian is regular on stars and i assume he knows my stats and my basic game, so his flop play could be air because of my high C-bet% but generally hes a tag (14/8/2.75ish) and doesnt get out of line too much, anyways i think of him as a smart player and i think my river line is too fishy

anyways i feel horrible about both these hands because i believe i failed to maximize on both hands also I tend to 3 or 4 bet draws on flops against some players but it has a very high fold % so i feel like Im wasting a big hand 4 betting in these 2 spots, anyways any help with better lines for these types of hands or with playing out of position in general would be great
