This SPR stuff, I don't know

Two folds I made in the face of favorable SPR for overpair and big top pair

Hand 1:
Hero UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] raises to $12. 3 coldcallers and the BB calls.
Hero has $300, MP has $300, button has $250

Flop 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (Pot $61)
Hero bets $40, MP calls, Button minraises to $80
Hero folds

Hand 2:
Villain in this hand just beat me on the previous hand with nut flush over 2nd nut flush. He did not raise his NFD+gutshot draw on the flop of QcJcXx but he did minraise the river when I made a weak 1/4 pot bet.

Hero has KQo in middle position. Stack is $250
1 limper, Hero raises to $12, 6 callers (3 ahead, 2 blinds, limper)
Flop K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (Pot $84)
Check, check, check, Hero bets $50, villain minraises to $100, all fold
Hero folds.

I mean, I hate hate hate putting in this much money before folding but check/folding and commmitting both seem wrong. There's always the option of making a small flop bet, but that does not protect my hand or get proper value from draws. And it also welcomes a semi-bluff/bluff raise. So I feel like the favorable SPR failed to save me from a tough decision.
