Default Getting max value - what to bet with big hands

These are two hands where in each I'm wondering if I bet too much and lost a bunch of possible value because of it.

<u> HAND #1 </u>

Villain is 46/17/5 after 150 hands.

Is it standard to check behind on the Turn here?


Party Poker - NL200

Stack sizes:
UTG: $320.30
Hero: $334.27
Button: $212.70
SB: $228.35
BB: $226.45

Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $6</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $19</font>, 3 folds, UTG calls.

Flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($41, 2 players)
UTG checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $36</font>, UTG calls.

Turn: 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($113, 2 players)
UTG checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $70</font>, UTG folds.


<u> HAND # 2 </u>

UTG villain is 47/7/1.2 after 150 hands.

I realize I should've raised more on the flop here. And I was really thinking the Ace might call me with the River shove. He's so passive I'm reluctant to check ...but do I bet the pot?
