Default Bet folding versus WA/WB

Has anyone got any general guidelines for when it is best to bet/fold and when it is best to go into WA/WB mode and then either c/c or c/f.

Lately I have been trying the b/f line with difficuly as I hate folding good hands (TPTK, 2 prs, sets, straights). Is the b/f to get maximum value from hands that have good showdown value and may still be ahead? If say the river completes a draw ho much do we bet? I have been aiming for around 2/3s pot.

Two hands for your viewing pleasure. Would you b/f or use wa/wb?

Hand 1: villain is virtually unknown but shaping himself up like a donk 50/1.5 after 30 hands.

Blinds: $1/$2
5 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $570.10
CO: $85.65
Button: $114
Hero: $197
BB: $454.75

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
UTG calls, CO folds, Button calls, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $14</font>, BB folds, UTG calls, Button folds.

Flop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($32, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $24</font>, UTG calls.

Turn: 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($80, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero??


Hand 2, ignore pf raise situational dependent...villain was playing tight. on the turn I am sure he is on a draw as he raises the Ace on the flop. The river he bets if i check nearly every time.
